If you lived through the ’80s then you, my friend, LIVED.
In hindsight the ’80s were a glorious if not occasionally, repulsive decade. They had moved on from the laid back ’70s yet still weren’t quite ready to converge upon the power suits and much more serious time of the ’90s. One thing the ’80s did do though, was stamp their very unique mark upon this era.
And it didn’t seem to matter where in the world we grew up, we all pretty much had the same experiences. It’s almost guaranteed that you at some point during this decade, would have been seen listening to a double tape deck blasting Holiday by Madonna whilst simultaneously applying electric blue mascara and teasing the bejesus out of your hair. And there’s a Polaroid picture somewhere to prove it.
I am an unashamed '80s tragic. The entire decade wasn't just unique, it was bloody awesome and if you weren't lucky enough to be around during this time, let me show you what you missed out on:
1. The Rubik's Cube
2. Bauble Socks
3. Gremlins
4. Jelly shoes
5. Pac Man
6. Sweet Valley High Books
7. Scratch and Sniff Stickers
8. Banana Clips
Femme Fatale
Everyone Has An Ex
