My blaring alarm clock wakes me out of a deep sleep. Groggily, I roll over and get out of bed. I take a quick shower and throw on my leggings, and a baggy t-shirt; a Michael Jackson inspired leather jacket, some leg warmers and my favorite converses. Styling my hair takes forever, however. The bigger, the better! Some blue eye shadow, pink blush, and fuchsia lipstick finish up my morning routine. While walking to class, my friends and I tell stories from the night before while Cyndi Lauper’s new song, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” plays from my new and totally rad walkman. In class, my teacher talks about the current President, Ronald Regan, The Cold War, and other current events. After class gets out, my friends and I head back to my dorm to get all dressed up for a night on the town, a new techno club is our destination for the evening! After a while of primping, we all hop in my friend’s DeLorean and we’re on our way!
A Delorian?!
ReplyDeleteLucky Duck. what a fantastic life in the 80's. Almost makes me wish I'd lived it.
I talked about Regan too. We are very politically like-minded.
Although, I doubt you'd ever wear that particualr make-up combination now.
I absolutely love your vision of 1980. I agree with you, I think most of the day would go exactly like you said. It’s crazy how trends come back in style, leggings and converses. When I was getting ready to write my blog, I couldn’t figure with time period to do… 30 years from now seems so far away and 30 years ago seems like it never really existed. However, when I was talking to my mom she said although much has changed, it really doesn’t feel as though much changed at all. It’s crazy how time passes so fast. You’re blog was great and very fun to read.
ReplyDeleteThe bigger the better. Love it! Haha! I feel like this should be a Barbie doll commercial of the 80s; Barbie with the big hair and leather jacket, her friends picking her up in a fancy car with Girls Just Wanna Have Fun playing in the background. :)
