1980's Hair Styles. This is the glorious era for bangs (as in a full bangs) and teased-hairs.
Shoulder pads. This trend is re-emerging, but still I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it (may pait! haha)

Princess of Wales. I remember vaguely that Princess Diana is the Fashion Icon. High-necked frilly ruffled blouses, pearls, floral skirts, romantic ball gowns & tweed suits emerged in the fashion scene.

Music Videos. We grooved into Michael Jackson's and Madonna's music. Who would forget Duran-Duran, Prince, Queen and metal bands such as Guns N Roses and Bon Jovi? You probably tried to do the 'moonwalk dance', yes? And loved the Beatles' and John Lennon too!
E.T. the Extra-terrestrial was such a big hit that your childhood wouldn't be complete if you haven't watched it yet. Star Wars wowed the crowd as well as Batman and a personal favorite, "Who'd you gonna call?", Ghostbusters!
Methinks, the '80s is such a colorful era for the entertainment and fashion industry and became pivotal in shaping the said industries today.
Moving on, I would love to relive that era even through this musical play coming on October. I know that The Wedding Singer is a 90's movie, but hey look at those enormous shoulder pads and humongous big hair. Then, again the theme of the musical is "Let's Party Like it's 1985"

Sunday, October 23 - November 17, 2010 at the Meralco Theater
I love musical plays (well, I love plays per se) and since I wasn't able to watch Cats nor Legally Blonde, as early as now I will be reserving my tickets to this play!
What do you guys think of the 80's? What do you remember? Did you like The Wedding Singer, the movie?
