This week is "Spirit Week" at Eldest's school--St. Pricey. Tomorrow is 80's day.
Um. No. Actually, precisely, I mean HELL NO. My decade cannot be a costume decade. Costumes are preserved for flappers, the 50's, hippies. I cannot do the 80's. Just NO. I am not this old.
But I did pull together a damn good Flashdance costume if I must say so myself. And she is going to have the biggest damn hair possible. If they are going to mock me, I shall seek my revenge through large humiliating hair.
After all...it's only fair.
Perhaps I shall sneak a picture and post it later. :)

It's because of things like this as well as hearing our music classified as "oldies" on the radio that make me weep, or throw my head down on a table, ala Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club. Sheer craziness!
It was spirit week here two weeks ago, and yes, there's always an '80's day now. And yes, my kid has a damn good outfit, a la David Byrne big box jacket. It rocks! And she's using it for Halloween, along with some leg warmers!
But, but, the 80's rocked! I wanna go back! (Alright, I won't go that far.)
PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES.
Plural. Not just one. =D
Yep. Spirit week here too! We are still having 60's day.
I hate 80's day too, but I do roll a mighty fine tight jean.
Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Mkay, do you remember there was a time when "big hair" was actually a compliment. I remember AV using half a can of hair spray making "hair tunnels." And we could smoke in the house. It's a wonder we didn't blow ourselves up!
Hope her hair is a HUGE success. And yes, having '80s day is very wrong.
My kids all say that 80's clothes are vintage. So I guess I am now considered vintage.
But on the up side all of the clothes from the 80's are coming back into style. Now that makes me feel old as I don't dare wear those tight clothes now.
Oh dear, if 80's is vintage that just makes me ancient. My kids were born in the 80's (mid - late, but still 80's). I'm going to stop incriminating myself. I'll go back to feeling like a 30-something.
Sweetheart, it was a costume decade when we were living it at the time. ;)
