I think that I will be going to the 80s party at Phoenix Forum, but being born in 1988, I don't remember much about the 80s.
Does anyone have any good suggestions for things I could wear?

A birthday suit comes to mind...
Pegged acid waches jeans ("pegged" means to fold over the leg of your jeans at the bottom so that the leg is tight against your ankle, then roll it up twice so that it rests over your ankle), Chuck Taylor Converse All Star/ Airwalks/Reeboks, Long sleeved button up paisely shirt (circa "Parker Lewis Can't Lose") and hairspray your hair into a cartoonish wave, like Nicolas Cage in "Valley Girls."
Don't forget your Swatch Watch and Oakley's!

In 1988... I had just entered middle school.
I hate this thread.
I'm leaving.
In 1988 I was a freshman in High School...
I was 34. I was old enough to be your teacher. LOL.
Aw thanks Rocky. I feel better now :)
Some pre-80s party homework?
Rent some kick-ass 80s movies and see what they offer.
There's stuff like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, The Goonies, Flashdance, Weird Science, Karate Kid, which are all good. Or you can do a Google image search on some 80s bands to see what photos come up and what they're wearing in them (Dexys Midnight Runners, Flock of Seagulls, General Public, Devo, Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper).
I was honorably discharged from the US Navy by 1987 .....
In '95 a Navy guy paid to watch me discharge.
Okay, okay... we are all old except for Jeff! Let's just dogpile him at the Forum parties and be done with it!
Sounds good to me lol
Hey,
I'm sure Jeff can handle himself quite well... actually I know that because we have about 30 scenes of him handling himself :) but let's not scare the poor kid to death *quite* yet :)
I just spoke to him and he's out this afternoon raising awareness about global warming, but he'll be back later tonight and he's promised to respond himself.
I've got some globes he can warm!
:smoke:
Ba dum CHING!
THANK YOU FOLKS!!! I'll be here all week! Be sure to tip your waitress!

Hey guys! Sorry I've been busy with school and my job... as I said I am somewhat of a political activist... but yeah I really don't have any 80s stuff... anyone have any ideas for a way I can get some basic clothing and make it LOOK 80s? I also have lots of friends I can borrow stuff from...
Salvation Army and Goodwill are your best bets.Quote:

Anything with shoulder pads, and BIG hair. If you'd like to go drag, say the word and I'll pull you something from the back of my closet.Quote:

If you fit a 29" waist I have some old Navy uniforms ;-)Quote:

I'm so glad I hung onto my 80s jacket.
It's horrendous, but it's VERY 80s.
- 501 button-fly (no belt)
- wifebeater
- a pair of Gazelles
- white racing strip under nose
p.s. You are lucky! I did not ingest enough love, thusly am able to remember then.
.I was 9 in 1988. It always funny to see signs that say you need to be born in "1988" to buy cigarettes. I think i started smoking in the 80's
Damnit! Like I said I can't buy ANYTHING... Are you guys forgetting Im a COLLLEGE STUDENT!!!!?
can not forget something you do not know.Quote:
