OK, I saw the coolest meme ever on Robin's blog Friday, and I had to steal it & join the fun. It's a show your 80's hair photos and answer some 80's questions meme. Awesome!! Warning: High Hair Ahead!!
Peg your Z.Cavarricis, clutch that industrial size can of Aqua Net, and raise that lighter to the tune of a power ballad. Gnarley! We are going 80s today, people! Show us your 80s hair!
Here are the rules:
1.Expand on the questions as much as you can. It makes it more fun for the rest of us.
2.Show us your hair, whether it be preppy or skyscraper bangs. Post some photos and make it fun. We promise not to laugh, we have them too!
3. If you get the meme from a blog, leave a comment on that person's blog so they can see your responses.
4. Post links to any videos from www.youtube.com to your blog that help you and your readers to relive the 80s.
5. Party like it's 1999.
We are so stoked to see your responses.
Post your 80s hair here!
OK, here's the pictures:
This one is of me & my dad & oldest brother. The point of showing it is the outfit. Bon Jour shirt from Lerner NY and Jordache jeans. I wore this outfit at least once a week for 3 years straight:
This one is of my surprise 16th birthday party. I never had a steady boyfriend until 12th grade, so this is just the 'flavor of the month' as my friends called him. Check out those pants! And, I was dating a guy with a mustache at 16? WTF?
This is my sophomore year prom date (he was a Junior; we just went as friends). What is WITH the hair?
The next two are my senior pictures. You could take one or two poses with your friends, and one with those awesome velvet drapes and pearls. I can't find the one with my friends, but here's the one my high school sweetie took with me:
He was my longest HS relationship. We dated my senior year, and the following year which was his senior year. Then he went off to college and that was that. We're the same age, but I was an early kindergartener at 4 and he went when he was 5.
Now for the drapes pose:
So serious!
Then, I committed the biggest big hair sin ever... Glamour Shots!! I have no clue what got on my picture here & I clearly need to dust my scanner glass:
After this picture was taken, I grew out the bangs and stopped getting the semi-annual perms. I've been straight ever since. Thank GOD!!
Here are the questions:
1. Preppy or Rocker
Rocker all the way. I have NEVER owned penny loafers and don't ever plan to.
2. Z Cavarricis or Guess Jeans and Espirit or Benetton?
Wha????? We wore Jordache acid washed jeans with the zips at the bottom or we didn't bother going to school.
2. Favorite Pop song of the 80s
Probably 'Livin on a Prayer' by Bon Jovi
3. Most Annoying Pop song of the 80s
'Mickey' by Toni Basil. Annoying but damn, it's catchy!
4. Hair Metal or Heavy Metal- Who was your favorite performer and favorite song?
Hair metal. Did you SEE those pictures??? I liked Jon Bon Jovi & Kip Winger the most.
5. What posters were on your bedroom wall or college dorm room?
I had every single surface of my room plastered with hair metal band posters and pictures. I had a Bon Jovi wall, a Poison wall, an Aerosmith Wall, a misc. wall, and Kip Winger on the ceiling above my bed. Sick, right?
6. What concerts do you remember most from the 80s?
My first was Stryper with my very religious brother, but I went to a Poison/Cinderella concert a few weeks later. I still go see those guys whenever they come through my city. They rock!!
7. Favorite 80s movies
Dirty Dancing. I was one of those people that saw it like 19 times in the theater.
8. Favorite 80s movie quotes
Oh, jeez. There are too many great ones.
9. Top 3 most memorable pop culture moments of the 80s for you.
Hands Across America
Challenger explosion
Berlin Wall
10. Favorite 80s cartoon
He-Man, Smurfs, and Strawberry Shortcake
11. Favorite 80s commercials
I have to go with the classic "Where's the beef?" Wendy's commercial
12. Boy George or Wham?
Wham, definitely.
13. Favorite one-hit wonder
Not sure this counts since they didn't have THAT big of a hit, but I'll say Steelheart with 'Never Let You Go.' Youtube says it's copywright 1990, but I was still in the 80's until 1993 at least.
14. INXS or Depeche Mode
INXS. Michael Hutchence was sooooo hot.
15. Poison or Warrant
Poison. No, Warrant. No, Poison. OK, both.
16. Did you ever meet a rocker or 80's pop icon? Where were you?
I met Alice Cooper when I was working in a movie theater when I was in college. He didn't have any makeup on, so I had to blink a few times for it to register who he was. I said, "Are you....?" and he said, "Yes." I said, "$5.50, please."
17. Snap bracelets or Jelly bracelets?
Jellies. Hundreds of them.
18. Fess up. Who had the garden weasel bangs? Did you ever measure your wall o' Aqua Net love?
We all did. The bigger the better.
19. Favorite 80s sitcom
Growing Pains. Kirk Cameron had a spot on the miscellaneous wall.
20. Is Jon Bon Jovi still hot or what?
OMG, YES!!!
21. "Double Dare" or "You Can't Do That on Television"
Double Dare. Good stuff.
22. Who was your favorite Brat Packer?
Molly Ringwald. I could totally relate to her in so many ways.
23. Jellies or Reebok Pumps
Neither, really. I did have a pair of electric purple Reebok high tops, though. Does that count?
24. Favorite pizza parlor arcade game
Miss Pac Man. But I never was that good. Kiss pinball was pretty cool too.
25. Deep South "Good 'ol Boys" or "L.A. underground vigilantes wanted for a crime they didn't commit"
Dukes all the way, baby! I never missed a single episode.

OK, SO MUCH to comment on!!! First, Lacy Little Top looks really great!! You are giving it such a better home than I would.
LOVE the hair pics!!! I think the sophomore prom dress was a twin to my green prom dress. And if penny loafers were the criteria for preppy-ness, I guess I was a rocker all the way too, although I am pretty sure I did have them in 6th and 7th grade. Love the Glamour Shots pic!
Don't take this wrong way, but I think you are so much prettier now! I always think of that age as my heyday, but looking at my pictures, I think I look better now too.
Ok this was fun! That's some pretty pointy hair you had in the serious senior pose!! haha I think your glamour shot is pretty!
Hee hee! *Love* those pics!! And damn, that's a pretty hot Glamour Shot ;) Thanks for sharing!
Oh and how fun is your traveling lacy top from Robin? Very cool that she could pass on to you something that you are enjoying so much more than she did :)
