After watching desperately seeking susan for the first time in a decade, I have concluded that the eighties must have been a LOT of work. Let me run down the problems I believe people my age must've had twenty years ago.
1. Teasing your hair as high as the ceiling in "flock of seagulls" fashion and washing it out at night had to have been quite an undertaking.
2. Trying to keep your balance.... what with the large earring on only one side of your head and all....
3. Finding enough clothes to layer on top of one another. This includes socks, bracelets, lace gloves, cross necklaces, and hair wraps.
4. Wearing things that sparkle like prom dresses year round. This had to be painful.
5. Thinking up some terribly clever phrase to Air-brush on your tye-dyed t-shirt.
6. Giving up your hum-drum life as a hot tub salesman's wife to be a two bit helper-girl in a magic act while putting a mobster in jail and returning a set of expensive earrings to whom they belong.
Whew! so that's all I could think of for right now. I just had a flash of inspiration. I remember the eighties..but I'd forgotten how fucking hilarious everything was.
If you have anything to add, feel free. :)
You diss the 80's, you dissin' me. Long live 80's music!!! ;)
