80's Party

Oh Yes - It was an 80's Party!!! i think the most fun was putting together our outfits and getting ready!! Thanks to my sister and her donation of clothes as she had been to an 80's party a few weeks prior!
Zoe just looked at this photo and said "Why have you all got such big hair?"
Really I have no idea how we had time to go out in the 80's as so much time was spent on doing your hair!! And breathe - how did anyone breathe with all that hairspray in the air? It was great fun with great music, cocktails galore and lots of 80's food - prunes wrapped in bacon, devilled eggs and who has heard of devon filled with mashed potato?


PS. don't want to incriminate my friends!

We didn't use hairspray back then - it was lacquer. Lots and lots of lacquer.

Shelly (or should I call you Cyndi? as in, Lauper?)

You look wonderfully big-haired and extremely happy. Makes me want to get together with a bunch of friends, too!

Glad you got to let your hair down. Err, puff your hair up? Glad you had fun anyway!

quite frankly I don't think that your hair is big enough! Did you comb-tease as well as hair spray. I could get my fringe almost vertical like that back in the day.

I'm still partial to a Devil on Horseback. I like to stuff the prune with a almond for a nutty, crunchy touch.

I am still kicking myself over getting rid of my eighties clothes - especially the Choose Life t-shirt - could have made a bomb down at the Paddington markets with it!

That is sooooo funny!! Yes, I remember spending hours in front of the mirror just working on my bangs! (Or fringe . . . I think that is what you call it!?) Of course, that was the only priority in my life at that time!! LOL!
