80's Party Tonight at 8....I have 9 hours to plan...

Quack · 10-10-09, 09:51 AM

How should I dress up? I would have asked earlier, but my shift got changed at the last second and I can go to it now....any help would be appreciated!

cardsfan111 · 10-10-09, 09:58 AM

Surely you kept all of your parachute pants, right?

Dr Mabuse · 10-10-09, 10:00 AM

Wear a shower curtain rig around you.

And kick those Cobra Kai's asses!

mclori · 10-10-09, 11:02 AM

Leg warmers and big hair. I wasn't particularly impressed with that decade, but then I don't think that decade was particularly impressed with me, either.

There should be lots of Halloween costume places springing up around town. Target and Wal*Mart should have stuff out. Shouldn't be too hard to find something retro.

Or you can Google "80's costume ideas" and pick something you can throw together.

Dress shirt. Skinny tie. Ray-Bans.

tronmaster · 10-10-09, 12:27 PM

Pastel colors, Land End clothes should be a good substitute! Wear a Sony Walkman too and carry one of those huge celluar phones from Motorola.

Quack · 10-10-09, 12:51 PM

I think I may go with this since my brother already has the t-shirt...gonna check good will on my break for some tight red/teal/blue jeans and get some shutter shades at the mall.

Quack · 10-10-09, 12:53 PM

And I definitely might want to do this for Halloween....

mosquitobite · 10-10-09, 02:33 PM

The life preserver jackets are back in style this year. I think I've seen them at Old Navy.

crazyronin · 10-10-09, 06:13 PM

Borrow The Bus's Members Only jacket.

Quack · 10-10-09, 06:19 PM

So I ended up finding bright red jeans....wait til you see pics....just need to figure out how to do my hair....it's not very long, I usually get a 1 1/2 fade, and that was about 2-3 weeks ago. Thoughts?

AGuyNamedMike · 10-10-09, 08:08 PM

Just put in some gel and twist in a few spikes.

Oh yeah, peg the jeans, or at least tie a bandanna around your leg.

This? Though your hair may be too short.

Not bad. I think I would have went with a "Relax" Frankie Goes to Hollywood t-shirt and parachute pants though.
