girl just wants to have fun

once again, my go-to model indulged me today with an 80's get up. the bubble gum was quite difficult to do because it kept popping. but christine, bless her heart, was as always very patient. still i can't get over how she loves the camera and the camera loves her.

over at mad hatters, the theme this week is the 80's. that was the decade i hit my thirties so let's see what i can remember anything from it.

madonna and cindy lauper were big hits in manila, i hated both.

michael jackson's "thriller" was the bigest hit in terms of video and whatever else, i didn't care much.

simon and garfunkel reunited at a concert in central park, i loved it - watched it live via satellite and even had it audio recorded.

big hair, didn't care for that. lots of bling, couldn't wear fake.

harem pants, i loved those because i didn't have to watch how i sat down. :-)

shoulder pads! wow! i had a big love affair with shoulder pads until 2000. i had them in all sizes and colours. must dig out the picture where i looked bigger than steve young when he won the super bowl.

the best one was the handheld game 'game boy' and my favourite game was donkey kong!

tagging this, too, for the current six-word story challenge.

thank you kindly for your visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.

Excellent 80's portrait

Very Dirty Dancing look.

Are harem pants gone? I have a friend who still wears nothing but. Maybe that's why her teenage girls rag on their mom's lack of fashion sense. They are supremely rude but maybe they have a point! On the other hand, she is comfortable.

@francoise - harem pants, i heard, are back, along with those wildly loose flared pants. i was just looking at a pair of those loose pants but they seem to come only in thin or transparent fabric. i also know of a person who still wears harem pants, apparently you can find them all the time from chinese clothing boutiques as well as those cuffed running pants. :-)

Definitely pulls off a Cindy Lauper look perfectly! I loved harem pants, would be cool if they were readily available again.

Awesome shot! :-)

I just love the way her hair waves over towards one side! Very natural but maybe didn't go that way to start! I still like shoulder pads!
May 2nd, 2015  
Ha! Fun. Love it.

So 80's, you've captured it well and your narrative reminds of that time as well.
