80's: Fashion

Fashion in the 80's was just... brilliant. To be perfectly honest, I don't really know that much about the 80's. However, when I hear 80's fashion I think of two things: big hair and shoulder pads.

First lets talk about shoulder pads.

I admit, shoulder pads facinate me. I don't really understand why women would want to look like they have big shoulders and small heads, but I guess it could be balanced out by the big hair. I'm guessing that women in the 80's looked top-heavy if they combined the two. Nevertheless, shoulder pads seem pretty cool. Why can't we wear shoulder pads now days?

Big hair. Perhaps the most outstanding thing (in my opinion) from the 1980's. I think that in every 80's movie I have ever seen, there was a girl with big hair. A while ago I did a rather intense research project on Barbie. Barbie is the perfect indicator of fashion trends of each decade. Big hair and crazy makeup must have been popular if even Barbie followed suit and totally rocked the big hair.

Big hair and shoulder pads. Why wasn't I lucky enough to live in that generation? Why can't I be able to look back at photos of myself as a teenager and think "WHAT was I wearing?!" Two reasons why I wish I were a teenager in the 1980's.

Introduction

I don't care to add any personal information about myself on the internet, so I'll try to be vague. I'm your normal everyday teenage girl; I go to school just like anyone else, and I'm just as interested in music, movies, and celebrities as any stereotypical teenage girl. However there are two things that separate me from any ordinary teenage girl. For one, I can type full words that make sense (no "and i was lyk OMG" for me!). Two: I love living in the 21st century, but sometimes I'm actually pretty dissapointed with this generation. We have nothing to show for ourselves! What are we going to be remembered for? Loving sparkly vampires (Twilight) and constantly texting? Sometimes I wish I lived in a different time period. As a matter of fact, if I were to have been born in a different time of my choosing, I would pick being a teenager in the 50's-60's era or the 80's. 50's-60's just seems so... fun! I mean, some of my favorite songs come from around this time! As for the 80's, do I even have to say anything? Everything about the 80's is amazing! The hair, the shoulder pads, the music, and lets not forget the movies.

So basically this blog is where I try to show how great previous decades were. Although I won't be able to update very often (I'm pretty busy with school), I'll do my best to keep the flow of updates constant. Happy reading!
