The 80's- Its baaaaaaaaaack!!

Is it just me, or does it seem that the 80's are pushing for a comeback?

I've seen some alarming fashion trends that are giving me disturbing flashbacks to my childhood. I was born in '82 after all! Though some could be called "early 90's" trends I guess. Think punk rock, Cyndee Lopper, and the ultra unflattering high waisted, tight ankled jeans...oh and even better, the panties that went with them. Heavy, caked on makeup with funky eye shadow colors, colorful madhouse cut hair...

(Supermodel Agyness Deyn in 2009!!)

....leggings, ankle boots, puffed sweaters and heaven forbid... oh dear lord, they're back... shoulder pads!!! *runs from the computer in horror!*

(New York Fashion week 2009!!! Apparently the heroin addicted model look goes hand in hand with shoulder pads!)

A mishmash of florescent colors, patterns, textures and over sized plastic jewellery. Really, are we going to be forced to endure this yet again? Or will it be allowed to pass by us "little people", to stain only the couture jet set with its metallic cinch belts and acid wash?

Above: Nikki Reed lookin' "fly" in a Marty McFly (MJ Fox in Back the Future) inspired hightops!




(Above) Scarlet Johanson sporting a head band, skinny jeans, and sneakers (yes, I said sneakers!) and the boat neck over a tank top look that gave me a flashback to Flashdance.... (this look was one of my personal fav's back in the day.)





Rihanna in hot pink pants (I would have killed for a pair of those in 92!)


Let us not forget the Queen of Fashion (and David Becham's balls (soccar balls, that is! Jeeze! What were you thinkin'??) in no less than an off the shoulder jump suit.

And so long as we are bring back the 80's shouldn't the Barenaked Ladies rules apply? (so what if they were big in the 90s! This is my blog and if I say they're from the 80's in order to make some not-so-funny crack about some poor starving actress in a horrible green dress, that's my business!)

"And if I had a million dollars...(if I had a million dollars)... I'd buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel!)"

But there is one fabulous 80's product I was very excited to see reemerge on TV infomercial last night!

Why it's the MINI TRAMPOLINE!!!! YAYAYAH!!!!

*dusting off my Jane Fonda Work out VHS*

Lindsay Lohan clearly saw the infomercial and is ready to hop aboard donning 80's inspired workout wear!

Okay, I dont know about you but I'd like to boycott this latest fashion trend all together... so...

Do me a favor will ya? Smack me if I stop tweezing my eye brows! Please. Just a swift one right upside the head.

Until then...

*she chants*....
