Well, you are certainly not alone - tastes vary and some people love that kind of stuff. From the previous post about the 80s, you can note that Demodoll loved the business atire of the period. I personally don't like many hair fashions of that time - they tended to be tacky and overstyled. I prefer straight hair to curly hair, but at the time, perms, big sprayed bangs and such things were all the rage. As for clothing, it depends. Some of it was really cheap and tacky looking, in other cases, it was okay. ------------- |

I wasn't there. Well, I was for the last two years, but I was more concerned with teething than fashion. .I don't like what I've seen of 80s fashion, but I'm a born out of time 60s child who loves cheesecloth! Still, neon is pretty cool. I'm not sure about waiting 20-odd years before we laugh at 00s fashion, though. I already am! Have you seen the state of pop stars? Disgraceful.  ------------- http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea - http://www.myspace.com/waltzin_with_the_open_sea Ah-ha, a place I can soon add hair pics...once I do some |

I did love the '80s, but then that was sort of my "coming of age" decade. Since then I have been so bogged down with work and kids that I haven't had much time to look at what fashion is really doing. Plus, at 47 I have to look "age appropriate" and that is sort of hard because I like a lot of real young stuff. And quite frankly it looks horrible on me (I would just go ahead and wear it if it looked even half way decent). But I do think that mild shoulder pads do make most women look better as do slightly flared pants and longer skirts. I am anxious to see how much of the '80s come back. I really didn't like the fried, permed out hair. I hope that stays wherever it went. ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |

As a child of the 80s, I'm in my 30s now, I remember that era well. I actually liked it. People usually mention the big hair of the 80s, and yes many women wore those styles, but just the opposite was common too. Many ladies wore very short spiky hair and shaved heads for women became more common in the 80s. It was really a pretty free era of time, and many styles of hair, clothing, and jewelry were accepted by most folks. ------------- . |

I like the 80s (except for the big hair) for nostalgic reasons because I spent all of my high school years and most of my college years in the 80s. The 80s remind me of my (relative) innocence. It's the point in time I would go back to if I could go back in time. It's the point in time right before I made a lot of wrong decisions. Caramia |

Maybe the reason we like the 80s is because when you look back things weren't so negative (ie enron, unemployment, war, etc.). I think it was probably the most entertaining and funny decade. I mean how could you take anything really serious with a hot pink and orange mohawk, dressed in neon. Look back and enjoy a laugh or two because we really need that now. ------------- |

I love the 80's! I'm so tempted to bust out some leg warmers again. My Grandmother-in-law never stopped wearing them! I bought her a new pair at a dancer's shop 2 Christmases ago and it was so hard to wrap them up and give them away! They were so tempting to keep for myself! ------------- "Hair is a part of you.

Oh leg warmers, I had forgotten about them! I loved them too. I hope they come back in but not the leotards we wore with them to work out in! I believe those morphed into thongs in the '90s and have since been replaced with baggy shorts and t-shirts for those of us with something to hide! ------------- "It is better to look marvelous than to feel marvelous" Billy Crystal |

I'm in my thirties so the 80s were some of my formative years. I am so glad the fashion of the 80s is over with! I liked some of the music then and I had fun, but the awful, puffed up big hair, the crass clothing and jewelry. Yuk! So blatantly trashy and loud. I'm so glad we don't have those fashions today. |

I was in high school and college from 1980 - 89, so those were important fashion years for me. I have a lot of hair, and always wore it long, so the eighties were right up my alley in terms of hair (though I didn't puff up the sides very much), AND, the top of my hair gave a few extra inches to my five foot two and a half frame, ha! I need that! I kind of liked the designer jeans and high heeled thing, and the dressiness of 80's fashion in general. The 70's, 90's and 00's seem to be more casual than that of the 80's, at least in my circles. I never liked mullets though (I think we called it "the bi-level"?) on either men or women. -------------  [/url]

Hated 80s fashion. The music wasn't bad. ------------- |
