Ohhh I can see it know, big frizzy hair, footless tights or leg warmers, big plastic bangles, big baggy top that shows of your bra straps, bright colours. Don't you so miss the 80's. Actually just dress like a teenager today and that's the 80's minus the hair!!! ------------- Abigail 06/01/2005 Jayden 21/11/2001 Micheal 03/04/1997 |

| Think early Madonna, big hair, fluro, lots of bangles. bright pink eye shadow. Big shirts belted at the waist. Lace. It really was a terrible decade for fashion but great for a party. |

Go as Cindy Lauper (or however you spell it). Loads of hairspray, crazy colors, big hair, leg warmers... heels (if you can manage it). Tie dye was big too. Bangles galore and big plastic star earrings or something.
FUN! Make sure you guys crank out some Prince! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
