Go around some of the volunteer second hand places and I'm sure you'll find a lot of what you need. Don't forget stillettos or similar. -------------  |

That sounds like so much fun!!
I would wear footless tights with a puff skirt, kung fu's, shoulder pads, fingerless lace gloves (think madonna, cindy lauper!) big crimped hair with scrunchies!!!  Ooooo, and can you post some pictures of you guys all dressed up! And Kent can go Miami Vice style - tshirt under a bby blue blazer with the sleeves rolled up, sunnies, big hair... ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

yer i was just going to say Madonna (like a virgin), Cindy Lauper (Girls just wanna have fun) Toni Basil (Mickey) Paula Abdul (straight up) and George Michael (faith) are all songs that i associate with the 80's so if you can remember what they where wearing from their video clips you can do dressed up like one of them...BIG teased hair, lace gloves, leather jackets with shoulder pads, bright funky colours and colourful beads...blahblah -------------  
Lycan and Peyton = Moon and back!! |
