I went to an 80's party last night where a bunch of pushing 40-year-olds pulled out their pastel sports jackets, shiny spandex, and Cabbage Patch moves. I think an 80's Dance Moves Class might be order, especially if such functions continue to become a part of the cultural milieu. I ended up witnessing a lot of bastardized versions of the Roger Rabbit, Pop Lockin', and Electric Slide. Somehow, they didn't look quite right...But at least the 80's produced dance moves...I don't know if the same can be said for the 90's (though, correct me if I'm wrong).
My vintage Cindy Lauper skirt went off without a hitch, and I complemented it with orange and electric blue eye shadow, and a solid gold chain that my mom gave me in high school. Some people wore Wanna Be 80's outfits that are brand new, but there's just a certain plastic flavored cheese missing from newly store-bought 80's clothes.
Just for today, I can be authentic 80's.
