SteveAustin Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 ^ funny you should mention that. I went to an 80's themed new years party. it just didn't really work. the clothes still look stupid. I don't think the whole 80's theme is gonna catch on like the 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAustin Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 actually I was just in New York a few monthes ago. can't say I really paid all that much attention to what people were wearing though. My eyes were focused elsewhere. yeah...I know the collared up izods or whatever are popular again. I hated it the first time around and now I'm just ignoring it.

Guest Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I went to an 80's party dressed as Magnum P.I. needless to say it was a blast. One girl told me "I'm not a slut, I just love to get fucked" AND I was living like it was * :miamivice: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.T Boy Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 come visit here, the whole city is an 80s party. or call ese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekro Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Get really sick and say you have AIDS. Wear white spandex pants and a leather jacket and tease your hair. Instant whitesnake. Dayglow outfits are doable. Neon tank top, acid washed jeans (just go to the thrift store and get some old tapered jeans and throw bleach at them), matching jean jacket, neon chuck taylors, hairspray, and neon sunglasses.

Guest Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 all things you can find at the dollar store. On my way to the last 80's party, I stopped into a little store for smokes and their was an entire rack of neon painters caps. I should have bought the whole thing!

DripOfAWish Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 the whole 80s revival thing got kinda old like two years ago. maybe it never hit hard where you're at, but in my city, kids born in '86 were dressing like it's '83 and all these DJs at clubs would play flock of seagulls waaay too much. plus there was a whole electroclash rebirth. i dunno, to me it was kinda fun at first, but it just makes me cringe now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 electro comes in and out so fast. I saw MissKittin live last Feburary and her sound wasnt 'electroclash' at all. It was like minimal dub techno with breaks baselines. yes.. it was amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
