Douchebaggery

I thought the 80s were cool. I was a teen in the 80s, so of course, I was cool.

I had:
parachute pants
leg warmers
big feathered hair in a mullet
those ruffled shirts with bad plaids that had gold shit running through them
at one point, I had a pink tail
the Boy George-look for Halloween one year
bandannas tied around my thigh or wrist
a turntable (my husband is too young to know what this is - yes, honey it is that thing Beck sang about having two of with a microphone)
skintight Calvin Klein jeans and nothing came between me and them
topsiders, no socks
Ozzy and Def Leppard
After my Ozzy phase - Tears for Fears, Adam Ant, Bow Wow Wow, The Smiths, U2 and INXS
a boyfriend who wore skinny ties that went to his bellybutton with a white suit and a pink buttondown
side ponytails
argyle knee socks and penny loafers

Oh, there was more. I was inspired by Bad News Hughes through the 80s. I would have so dated him in high school. Digging that whole Thomas Dolby meets Flock of Seagulls hair at graduation.
