For some, the 80’s were a great time. The creation of MTV revolutionized fashion, the music industry and even how we watched TV. For others, it was nothing but bad hair, worse clothing and music that often had more to do with machines than talent. I take the former approach and relish the excess and outrageous fashions that the 80s managed to make mainstream. We didn't accessorize - we "excessorized" and LOVED it.
The clothes worn in the 80s depicted people who were trying to find themselves. They looked for ways to express their creativity and individuality. Men wore heavy make up and grew long hair. Women wore short hair and layers of clothing. Both sexes were looking for an identity. 1980s clothing styles are back on the shelves now, and we take a look at what makes these eighties fashions for women endure the test of time. We bring you that era musically and take you down that very nostalgic memory lane.
80s Music
While there are great new bands today, the music of the 80s will always be my first love. It was the music I came of age to, it was the music I listened to on my old tape deck as I learned to drive, it was the music of first girlfriends – you know, the good stuff.
80s music covers a wide and highly diverse set of musical styles from the good, the bad, to the downright ugly (Rick Astley, Debbie Gibson, Loose Ends, Luther Vandross, SOS Band or say, Glass Tiger). But, in each of these categories there were jewels – songs and bands that remain with us.
