F ~ Fashion




Oh lordy! Are you ready for big hair and spandex?

Here are some music icons that set the stage for what we like to refer to now is... "please don't post that pic of me in the leg warmers." era.





Other trends:
  • Fanny packs
  • Parachute pants (Thank you, MC Hammer)
  • Scrunchies
  • Hairspray (lots)
  • Neon everything
  • Penny loafers (yes, they made a comeback in the 80s)
  • Jordache Jeans
  • Ray Bans - made famous by Tom Cruise in Risky Business
  • Shoulder pads were not just for athletes
  • Bangle bracelets (lots of them)


What was your style in the 80s?

If you didn't have a fascination with death, you did after watching this movie. Okay, I did/do. I even have my own copy of the handbook so I'm prepared. Yet, I am still hesitant in saying Beetlejuice 3xs. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... nah. You first. Are you a fan? Tell me your favorite scene/s in the comments below. See you tomorrow for "C"

I could never understand why they were on the docks or why she was just strutting around with some guys playing air-guitar. She is rocking that hair though!
