Subject: I need HELP
I am doing a speech regarding the eighties if anyone has anything they want to tell me about the eighties please do. I would like to dress the part what should I wear? Any ideas?
Subject: Wear a padded head band
Wear a padded head band like Olivia Newton John used to wear. And wear a jeans jacket with a whole bunch of one-inch-in-diameter rock and roll buttons of 80's bands. I still have most of mine, but you can't have them. Use these phrases : Anything you like is "totally awsome!" or "tubular!" To express disgust, pretend to stick your finger down your throat and say "Gag me with a spoon."
In fact, just listen to the Frank Zappa song Valley Girl and use all those expressions.

You should wear jeand that are slightly baggy which have pleats in the front with legs that are pegged at the ancle so tight it's hard to take them off. With this, try to find a flourescent green or pink sweatshirt or blouse and I mean BRIGHT! Find some flat pumps with a pointed toe or some of those white dancing shoes that Duran Duran used to wear, and LOTS of skinny bangle bracelets that match your shirt. Finish the look with either dangly bright earings or one of those ear bands that hang around the edge of the ear. Oh, and big hair. Big big hair.
Watch the movie Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club for other ideas.
