What were we thinking? lol

Who remembers the 80s with the big hair and uhggg...shoulder pads? Do you have pics like I do where your hair didn't fit in the whole shot? How about the neon colors?lol

The love ballets that made the girls meltdaydream The big hair bands that looked kind of like girls but we (girls) thought they were "hot."lol

What are some of your favorite styles, music and memories of the 80s? and why?grin

To me its all about the music, the big hair and the style was a little funny but the music was great.
still,
The music.....I still remember listening to bands like Poison and Bon jovi and thinking to myself: "This is the best time of my life"head banger grin
The 80s did have a certain "feel" to them that can never be brought back again. I guess each decade has a different feel to it...the styles change , the music....ect.

but when you're 19 it is the best time of your life.cool
All those styles Lana came back like the leggings with long shirts except the hair of course! But for me it was about all the heavy metal bands I liked like Bon Jovi(Jon was so gorgeous; still is in fact), Guns n' Roses, Scorpions, AC/DC, etc.

About 80% of the music I listen to is from the 80s. My guitar sound and style is 80s, even the guitar itself though being made in 92, is typical 80s style. Pointy headstock and floating bridge

grin
Another fave

This photo is from 1989 when I was 21 wink
You look very pretty there Jana!
Thank you Belle! Some guys flattered me that my face was like brunette Brigitte Bardot laugh wink

Anyway the 80s were great years for me! Love everything about them :)thumbs up
those were the lames days in human history! People just though of opposing anything and everyone for no reason at all! ... just cause they thought it was cool laugh

Thank you Still! A real gentleman! kiss
1984! I had my first boyfriend laugh
Wow! Jana ! No wonder you are so good looking today . You where a real" Knockout " back then . I'm glad I said to post another picture of you . I guess you will always look good , no matter what the age . . . .love smitten kiss
I caught the very tail end of the 80s when I was young. I did not like the 90s at all :\
Frank, thank you so much! hug lips

The thing that amazes me is how much innocence and hope there are in the eyes of a young person! They just sparkle! We can see it even more when we compare old pics to current ones...
Who can forget this song! Twisted Sister

Still regarding music I love grunge from the 90s... It gave a special "teen spirit" of that era... But it's probably another blog's topic! wave


Bon jovi was good, some songs by Michael Jackson weren't total trash .. 'billie jean' one of 'em ..

Jana, Yes I guess the innocence goes with time, however we do become more realistic and compatable as we age . Well at least some of us do . Even though you where drop dead beautiful back then, I'll still take the one you are now . . . . . . . . . shimmy pointing
i have a ltle bit idea of 80's style because most of the movies now adays coping 80's style and i like that style.
Belle, Please excuse the fact that I havent yet complimented you on how good you looked back then . You still do, by the way . I was just looking a Jana's picture, and . . .. .wow . . . . . . . .. .well I knew she would have been beautifull then, but Wow ! . . .I guess I should have suspected it . You looked really good, however the fassions back then could have been a bit more flattering .
@belle

I am actually wondering how come u didn#t have specs at 18 ... had the 'novel-binging' saga started yet?

laugh


lips lips
Haha 10k! No I wore contacts for my graduation day! Frank how dare you criticize my dress! I copied that from Seventeen magazine. I had that dress specially made by a seamstress in Puerto Rico!
Thank you again Frank! I'm really flattered cheering hug
I have more real good memories of the 90', but the 80' were fun also. I was very much in the new wave then...Cure, Clash, Souchie & the Banchees, Depeche Mode, U2 etc...I remember I first heard this Ozzi band...the Stranglers


Sorry, I wasnt that photo genius those days, but you gilrs looked great ans still do.
Actually the fashion of the 80s was quite cheesy and tasteless. But we were young and pretty so everything looked great on us! laugh

For me the most classy women's fashion was from the 40s, 50s, and 60s! Glad some elements of the extremely feminine 60s came back lately... thumbs up
Thank you Willem! wave
Thank you Frank!:)
Enjoy your time Frank! wave
WEll,
All this while I was away? Jana you were drop dead gorgeous! but hey look at you...still arecool

Belle.....all i can say is JUST TOO CUTE! wave

Guns and Roses ...I forgot about them . I used to have the biggest crush on Axle Rose...everytime he would break another guitar on stage my heart would skip a beat...come to think of it , thats kind a weirddunno laugh
