The 80's R Coming BACK!

Okay...  I'm all ready for "prom" for next Saturday...

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I'm going to a 1980's prom next Saturday night.  It's a dance party I won tickets to from a radio station.  Dressing 1980's style is optional, but, I'm choosing to go dressed up.  I'll be lucky if Rich wears a thin tie...  He's going, but he is less than thrilled.  I told him I would just take some girlfriends with me, but he insisted to go.."for me".  Isn't that nice?  Just like that time I got him to see Julio Iglesias in concert in Reno, NV that year.  "I'm going for you, honey."  I feel a little guilty.  Oh well..  I know he will have fun.  I told him about the black eyeliner and he gave me the look of death.  Nope, I won't be bringing that up again. 

So..  As I was shopping, I realized, that the 1980's are back--clotheswise.  My daughter dresses like she is from that era already, so I don't have too much to buy.  I went to TJ Max and bought a black and white striped pullover type shirt, and leggings--the footless ones, that are in style now that go just above the ankle.  I went to Target later, and got some big black hoop earrings, a long white wife beater (that is back in style now), some black and white polka dot ankelt socks to wear with pumps, and a pair of really cute black head bands that look like big elastic rubber bands with little rhinestones sewed into them.  I also got a pair of $1 black satin looking gloves.  I plan to cut the fingers off of those.  Now, all I need to do is borrow my daughter's studded belt, and all of her multi colored bracelets.  Liz as also offered to do my makeup.  I should look so totally bitchin' now.  Like, totally.  The good thing is, I can still wear these clothes afterwards...

Oh...  I loved the 80's!  I wish I could go back and warp myself back.  I would change a few things..  Marry at age 20?!  What was I thinking..  What were my parents thinking?!  If you could go back, what would you do?
