My wife and I went to a holiday cocktail party last night. It was at the home
of the 23 year old woman who babysits our kids. She invited many of her hot, young friends...and they all looked so cool wearing their clothes that were in style in the early 80's!! They had the 80's hair going...some even had Farrah Fawcett hair. It cracked me up. My wife said to me, "You said you always liked what the girls wore in the eighties...well, you got your wish because they are back!"

Maybe that's why I didn't feel like such a dirty old man...I thought I was back in college!

Does this mean that guys are going to start wearing "Members Only" jackets again?

1. I have a "Members Only" jacket I could send you!
Actually, it's MrSG's, and I didn't even realize that we still had it. It was stuck in the back of a closet. If you feel like getting back into the 80's groove, lemme know. :rofl:

12. Guess overalls
with one strap hanging lose. I remember that was all the rage in the 80s.

4. Oh gawd. I'm old enough to be retro.
My kids like that remake of Modern English's "Melt With You" wherein the band/butcherers sing "being friends with you" instead of "making love to you." :eyes:

7. I just looked it up -- the remake is by "Good Riddance" !!
Hah!

I think they redid it for one of those teenybopper shows on Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel or something.

8. I agree...
How can you improve on the original? Disneyfy it? Nope...
