She has a sideways pony-tail idea in mind. </p> <p>Girls plan to try to wake me up before they head out for the bus at (eek, 6:50 am - too early for this night owl!!!!)... so I can take a photo for you.... cross fingers I actually get up and do this... I have to get up early tomorrow anyway but usually I sleep in late since my teleworking day doesn't really start all that early... </p> <p>In the process I dug out a bunch of old 80s photos and if I get a chance maybe I'll scan them in and let you all have a laugh at what I used to wear... it is freaky as can be.... all the styles now are new again.... *very* freaky... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emergency-help-requested#post-26661 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 01:27:40 +0000 Angie 26661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fab!

Great theme!</p> <p><a href="http://www.savers.com/images/fashiontrendsfull_01.png" rel="nofollow">http://www.savers.com/images/f.....ull_01.png</a></p> <p>Don't forget the "banana clips" and bright socks that match teh oversized sweatshirts.</p> <p>And remember, Punk was an 80's trend...so they could stick safety pins all over their clothes, fauxhawk their hair and wear ripped to shreds black jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emergency-help-requested#post-26644 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:12:33 +0000 Jillian 26644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just searched <a href="http://www.polyvore.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com</a> for "1980's" and got some great results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emergency-help-requested#post-26643 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:12:27 +0000 Maya 26643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With permission, here are some friends all read for an 80's party:</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/80skatie.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....skatie.jpg</a></p> <p>I think the key players are the shocking pink, slap bracelet, and crimped hair. I guess the slap bracelet is out since you won't be able to get it in time, but crimped hair can easily be replicated by making lots of tight and tiny little braids. Nothing like burning zigzags into your hair to get you in a spirited mood.</p> <p>Here's another good one:</p> <p><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/SAiUF9MkkkI/AAAAAAAADRM/I7TrlSKs2F8/s1600-h/Mad80sweb.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://bp1.blogger.com/_qjpwnP.....80sweb.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emergency-help-requested#post-26641 Fri, 19 Sep 2008 00:09:40 +0000 Antje 26641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun!

I never really went through the whole Madonna phase.... ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/emergency-help-requested#post-26639 Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:28:24 +0000 shiny 26639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My DD's are having a spirit day at school tomorrow and the theme is back to the 80s... I have shown them old photos of what I wore in the 80s, but apparently I am slightly off the mark.... </p> <p>If any of you are online and are up to the challenge, can you dig up some images of really over the top 80s fashion that they can use as inspiration? We're looking for the truly tacky stuff..... </p>
