Collars up :lol I never liked them then and it feels weird now http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

------------------

Yeah, I never went along with that stuff either. I think that was a preppy thing anyway. I wasn't into that stuff. Another thing I wouldn't have done then or now is the colored hair. Not for me! It looks nice on some people, but not I! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Remember those dresses that had the puffy sleeves? Yuk! How did anyone think they looked good? Especially in the metallic material.

PENNY LOAFERS!!

I don't know about where you live but here is small-town hell, everyone wanted to be like Michael Jackson. Except for me 'cuz I wanted to be like Motley Crue, Lita Ford, etc. Anyway, remember those crappy penny loafers he used to wear? Remember those Michael Jackson jackets? I used to laugh my ass off at people.

I loved to watch Michael Jackson dance (when he actually danced instead of grabbing himself every few seconds)but that was it.

Love to all,


Dawn

------------------

http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I hated those shoes and I hated him, especially after the news came out about him being a child molester! I'm in one of those moods today sorry lol http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

LOL Well I used to do the coloured hair thing!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I bleached my hair white and used to wear blue, pink or green streaks in my hair. My dad had a fit the first time he saw me!! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif
The one fad I hated then and definitely wouldn't do now is the belted sweater thing!!
(after 2 children and extra pounds I would look like a moose LOL http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif
I was the zipper jeans and many belts type of girl.

------------------

Hi Ayla http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I agree the belt with the sweater thing looked stupid to me, I was at that time 36-25-36 and always thought I was fat no matter how I looked or what I wore http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/frown.gif Now all I can wear are jeans and really baggie T Shirts! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Okay. I know what we need here...

The 80'sXChange All Natural Gym

hehe

During certain hours of the day, there will be certain types of 80s music playing.. LOUD. And at night time, a night club open upstairs with, well, 80's music!

Now who's gonna chip in so we can make this a reality? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif An 80sXChange Gym in every town. hehe http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

------------------
Sal Collaziano

Now that's a good idea! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif Lifting, listening to 80's music, and clubbing...a few things I do quite frequently all wrapped in one building http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif I'd be there all the time http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Olivia Newton-John's 'Physical' would be one of the main songs played in the gym would it not? http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif



------------------
*Sheree*

Hehe. Yip. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif Well, imagine?! haha This would be pretty cool. The gym for the 80s crowd. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/tongue.gif

------------------
Sal Collaziano

I would go there just for the music

------------------

It's very boring to train with the 90s music that's been going around. Actually, some of the upbeat dance music in the late 90's was pretty good. But it still doesn't beat the older stuff. Especially the rock music.

------------------
Sal Collaziano

Huge fringes!!!!!!!

I remember a lot of the girls at my school would tease their fringes with hairspray, big enough to the extent that it would be capable of knocking books of the shelf in the library if they suddenly turned their heads! crazy stuff!!!

------------------

What are fringes? I thought they were the little things that hung off the leather jackets. hehehe

------------------
Sal Collaziano

another thing was people used to use just heaps more hairspray & gel in general. Their hairdos would be almost a solid construction
of chemicals

------------------

Yeah, I remember so much "Don't touch my hair!" because if it was moved, it would stay that way.. hehe

------------------
Sal Collaziano

Since I was born too late to do the 80s style in the 80s. I do some now http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

The hair... not its regualar balck, but I had it dyed purple, red, blue. I've had it teased... on hair day (and I won!)

Ripped t-shirts, tight leather pants, studded belts, club t-shirts.

http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif That's what I do!

You'll have to post a picture Sal! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

------------------

The Madonna look..(circa: Borderline, Like A Virgin look)..all those copycats.
Everytime I think of that, I always recall those "Rockumentaries" they used to show on MTV..the one on Madonna featured when she opened her clothing line in Bloomingdales and all those girls copying each other saying how "Original" their look was. (Yeah, her and about 300 other New Yorkers in the store..LOL)

------------------
Check ya later-I'm outta here!*Nikki*

First, yes. The Madonna look was very popular. hehe Original. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/tongue.gif

Hmmm.... some responsibilties have changed, but some stayed the same. Being cute has always been one of them. And driving my older brothers insane is one also.

I was also one of those that did the belted sweater look and anyone remember those 'granny boots'? They looked like victorian era shoes with stilletto heels? Argh....the horror of it all...LOL!!</FONT f>

Yes, welcome Princess of Glam! I remember that hair-do! I would never do it though. I'd have been to worried that my hair wouldn't have grown back! I have this phobia of going bald! I would not be a good-looking bald man! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/redface.gif

The worst hairdo would have to be the Mullet and Andy from Duran Duran is a prime example, especially in The Reflex video. I can't stand it, it's hideous http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif

Oh yeah, I remember Sniglets..there was a show on HBO that featured some guy that had a book of Sniglets. They'd show these hilarious re-enactments of how a sniglet got started.

I had the Nikki Sixx "finger in the socket" hairdo for most of the 80's. Hey, wait a minute....I STILL have that 'do! LOL...just kidding. I kinda have the "Steve Harris" look going now. I get stared at walking through Disneyworld as it is, I couldn't imagine having the Nikki 'do now! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/eek.gif



------------------

Yup. It was definatly Rich Somethingorother. hehe

And Nikki Sixx's hair now is a bit wacky. I think he should lose that red color. Just not right for him or the Crue..

------------------
Sal Collaziano

Hey, I did the fringe thing! And I also wore lace gloves like Madonna!!!!!!
But the scariest thing at the moment to me is I used to wear a really awful dress, with huge polka dots in black and white, and now they are back in fashion! I work in a clothes store and I look at them every day, remembering...........

Don't apologize - it's okay. It happens. I deleted it anyways.. I think you should see a delete option if you EDIT the message. Anyways, hehe about the polka dots! I haven't seen that yet, but. Anything could look good on anyone - it just depends on the total picture...

http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif I have a pair of lace gloves... I'm into the goth look plus the glam look, so its a requirement.

------------------
Sal Collaziano

I was thinking that same thing http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/confused.gif Well, unless you're having your party in Canada of course. If I remember right, 18 is legal up there http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

19 is legal up here (but hey its cold start drinking by at least 16 lol)

I had lace gloves and I shudder at some of the do's I had. I'm looking at old photos where at every party I went to everyone wore their sunglasses (thankyou Cory Hart). I couldn't imagine today wearing my sunglasses out to a bar. The worst make-up fad faux pas I did was wear purple eyeliner, purple mascara and purple eyeshadow ummm purple does not look good on a redhead with green eyes (I always wondered why I looked somewhat sick in photos - it was the eye gook lol)

------------------

hehe yeah I would feel funny wearing sunglasses at night too. I even feel funny wearing them when I walk into a building on a sunny day. I always take them off indoors. Like, what am I trying to hide?

------------------

21 is the legal age, but hehehehehe... I got "ID" that says I'm 21... http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

Good God no! The fashion police would be after me fer sure LOL

------------------

I remember that I used to wear those white Joe Jackson pointed toe shoes, I think they were popular with the punk rock crowd. I still like the style of them but I would never wear white shoes now.

------------------

legwarmers

off-the-shoulder shirts, i.e. "Flashdance"

gigantically huge scrunchy socks

way-long sweatshirts worn as dresses (never did this one then, either!)

there are soooo many memories on this board! http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

------------------

The Lady/Princess Diana hair-do from the Royal Wedding we Canucks (not sure about the rest of the world) were a bunch of clones http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

------------------

I remember the stuff Emerald and LivinInThe80s are talking about. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif hehe The FlashDance stuff was really popular around me. I think I even had a jacket or two that you soughta wore after the shoulders.. I liked that style.. It was a bit uncomfortable though. Yup, I remember big scrunchy socks too. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif

80sXChange Homepage (http://www.80sxchange.com)

Anybody remember hypercolor clothes that would change color with your body temperature? I think it came out in the 80's. I still have a hypercolor sweatshirt and even though it's a bit faded it still works. I don't think I'd wear it again though. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

------------------

Rat tails. I had one. Bleached it white and got in a *big* fight with my dad over it.

Long bangs. I had bangs that were longer than the back of my hair.

I did the A Flock of Seagulls hair thing for a long time. http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/eek.gif

Anybody here remember the shoes called Turtles? I also don't miss the sleeveless shirt thing, though I *do* still have a pair of black and white checkered Vans. I searched for them for *years!* http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Hypercolors? Wow! There was a point where people kind of thought the idea wasn't that great, as they changed colors on the warm spots. Needless to say, warm spots on people can be in the *strangest* places.


------------------

lol I had a rat tail for oh a very short while http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif
I seem to remember hypercolor more from the early 90s and yes it does pick the strangest places to change color - those are definitely designated for the cottage http://www.80sxchange.com/ubb/smile.gif
