Subject: 80's Blog Topics? (Help)
Written By: apollonia1986 on 11/04/12 at 11:06 am
Hey Y'all!
I write a blog--to try to show people that there's more to me than just MJ all the time--and one of the features of it, is a series I've called "80s Friday" in which I talk about different things pertaining to my favorite decade. Now I've already covered Purple Rain--the film--Thriller--the video-- and make up.
What else can I write about? Because I do like doing these posts and my friends always show in droves to read it.
So if anyone could suggest anything, whether it's Regean being shot at or Chernobyl blowing up, I'll consider anything. And karma for every suggestion!
Thank you!

Other 80s films
New Wave
Pop hits that weren't in English
The British re-Invasion

Hip hop & the evolution of rap from fluff to life experience in the hood

The significance of Facts of Life and why people your age should know who Lisa Welchel is (& why they should be ashamed they don't know who she is)

Thanks Snozzie!
Well, I included Michael because he is a part of my life, but I wanted to show that he doesn't dominate it and I don't sit around lighting candles under a poster of him. LOL. I have a theme for him I started called MJ Flashbacks where I recall different MJ things I expierienced like video premieres. But I do also talk about what's happening with me, particular make up or fashion trends I'm trying, and films I enjoy. Just today, I blogged about the "Thin Man" series of films.
And I did consider the Facts of Life...because Tootie is my favorite! LOL!

Rest assured I don't picture you lighting candles at an Mj shrine in your closet. You're obsessed not crazy :D
Jo was my favorite. I'm just mad that the people in their 20s on survivor have no idea that the "older lady" on their tribe is freaking Blair Warner!!!

I don't think I'm obsessed with Michael. :) I'm just a good fan.
And I didn't know that Survivor was even still on the air. I have never watched that show.
