I was born in 1992, so I have no personal connection with this magnificent decade. My childhood consisted of funny clothing which everbody hate nowadays, though music was quite good back then, too.
So.. 80's - the unforgettable decade in human history - has been in my mind 3 years at least, maybe even more. When people ask me how did I find my way to 80's music, then I can't answer to them, because I don't remember this exact moment. I wish I could remember, but it's not possible. Some signs give me a little implication about the time I was already addicted to 80's, but that's all.
I don't know where to start from.. I adore 80's fashion, I love 80's music, I like 80's movies and so on. I leave music last one and start with movies. It's like putting the best one in the end...Curiosity must arise!
MOVIES
I haven't seen a lot of movies from this decade, so I need improvement time. As a matter of fact 80's music has been my main interest. Style and movies came later.
Which movies are well-known nowadays, but were made in 80's? Of course Batman (1989), Beverly Hills Cop I & II (1984, 1987), The Breakfast Club (1985), Die Hard (1988), Dirty Dancing (1987), Ghostbusters (1984), Police Academy (1984), Rain Man (1988), The Terminator (1984), Top Gun (1986) and so on! There are so many interesting movies, which are worth of watching. Surely there are movies, which were complete disasters, but we can find such movies today, too.
There are 3 movies, that mean the most for me (maybe because I haven't seen many 80's movies).
- Dirty Dancing (1987)
- A Fish Called Wanda (1988)
- The Breakfast Club (1985)
FASHION
Leg warmers, parachute pants, neon, acid washed jeans, oversized shirts, jelly shoes (jellies), jumpsuits, leather jackets, dresses and so on! This list goes on and on, 'cause 80's was the craziest decade in fashion history. Everything fitted with everything - blue blouse, pink pants, crazy haircut, lots of make-up. No one looked at you as you were clown, because it was stylish! Nowadays you can't wear everything what you want because someone has always something bad to say.
I love leg warmers, have even made some pairs by myself. Then I have some excellent 80's dresses and of course pink leggings!
And I LOVE making myself look pretty.. Usually I don't look pretty (hahahaha), but then I can put on so much make-up that even I look kinda pretty... Make-up does wonders!
MUSIC
I have nothing to say! 80's music takes me to heaven! I could listen to it over and over again! Sandra, Modern Talking, C.C.Catch, Joy.... Those are only few of artists I adore! Honestly, I'm speechless when I have to talk about 80's music.. It was something unprecedented... This time people knew how to make music.. Well, I just go and listen to 80's music, bye!!!
