Crazy for the 80's!

I do not know where it started but I have a fondness for the 80's. The movies, the music and the style. Without a doubt if I ever had a time machine, I would go back and relive the 80's!


Movies of the 80's that never get boring: 
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Pretty In Pink (1986) , Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985) , Say Anything (1989), Back to the Future (1985), When Harry Met Sally (1988), Revenge of the Nerds (1988), The Goonies (1986) 
*Molly Ringwald * John Cusak *Matthew Brodewick

Music from the 80's that occupy my ipod: 
Michael Jackson, The Go-Go's, Berlin, A-ha, Prince, Bon Jovi, Cars, Duran Duran, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Elton John, Queen, The Police, Madonna, Blondie, Soft Cell

Just have to say that without these artists, where would we be? It may be one or all for you but 

Crazy 80's style:
If you've seen the character "Deb" from Napoleon Dynamite or any of the beginning scenes from 13 Going on 30 you know that this is only a smidgin of how 80's dressers dressed like. 
-Side ponytails are a must. 
-Tons of blue eye-shadow, pink blush, and pink lipstick
-Lots of prints and on everything from pants to sweaters
-leg warmers
-bright oversized jewelry 
-LOTS and lots of spandex

So this 80's style is so much fun to re-enact. I find myself going all out for 80's spirit days at my high school.
