I loved the 80s. I remember wearing stirrup pants with ankle boots and those baggy sweaters. I loved my swatch watch. It had a bicycle on it. I remember when the first CD player came out and I had a walkman tape cassette. I also remember getting an Atari, Christmas 1982 and being addicted to PacMan and Pitfall. I remember watching Live AID all day on MTV and Wham's first video. And those big bows for hair. My high school photos are a riot. Each year I had a wildly different hair style. And for some reason I loved Debbie Gibson and had both her albums. ANd don't forget TIffany and that mall song. Loved it!!

Holy cow I am getting up there!
 

I love the 80's! I graduated high school in 1982 and had some of the greatest times during the decade (although I have to admit I am missing some nights and weekends :seeingstars: I remember going to my first drag show and hanging with my gay and lesbians friends. Seems like forever ago!

Good news! Deborah Gibson, as she now goes by, made it through the 80s and has been working on and off Broadway for some time. She's got several albums now.

And then there's Tiffany, who got married, had a son, and posed for Playboy. :blink:

Duran Duran -
 

This band rocked back then and still does to this day...talk about staying power!! I LOVE their sound, their fearlessness in choosing to make decisions about trying something new and their ability to make it work.

I absolutely flippin' loOoOOOoooVe songs by Prince...

My fav song by him, besides Little Red Corvette and Purple Rain?

*The Beautiful Ones*

(1983)

Always loved the song "Cities in Dust"

I forgot to add this to my post earlier...

And let's not forget about the first video ever played on MTV to kick it off...I still remember watching this right when MTV went live.
