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:

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.

This photo tells a story. It's a story about a poverty stricken family that remains intact and happy. I admire the  smiles on these children's faces. They are sincere and beautiful. I chose this picture because of its message that having a family is happiness - not money or material things but people who you love and love you back. I found this photo while I was searching for 'book' on FlickrCC and it showed up and amazed me.

Jack Johnson. Raised in Hawaii. Professional surfer. Environmentally conscious musician. I've seen him perform live in Irvine! He is beyond talented and collaborates with phenomenal musicians in his concerts such as Zee Avi, Zach Gill,  and G. Love & Special Sauce. I found this picture on FlickrCC. It was easy to find a great picture of Jack Johnson in a concert. He is definitely one of my favorite people in the world :D
