Hope anyone has any ideas or any in which they dont think are right! Need help as i was only 6 when the 80's were actually over!!! :)

Hello, tis me again!  You have quite the list of fashions there Criz!  But Im curious, what are YOU wearing to the party?  Hope its a puff ball or rah rah skirt!!  

hey todd! I'm actually not going to wear a ra-ra skirt - sorry!

I think im going to wear a short stone-washed denim skirt, 3/4 length black leggings, a lace 'off the shoulder' long sleeved top with a sleeveless black t-shirt on top, a big belt, and 3 necklaces (one gold crucifix). As you can see - i'm going for the early madonna look! I will prob crimp my hair, and put it in a messy high pony tail i think, or something to that effect! You think that'll look good? I'll prob cahnge my mind when it gets nearer to the time - i still have so much preparation to do!

Weren't those called "bowl haircuts"?Because the barber would put a bowl over your head  and shave off the hair hanging out of it.

Quoting:
Asymmetrical haircuts
