So last night, I looked in the bargain bin at Wal Mart and ended up buying a Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam CD. While listening to it, I had to fight the urge to go buy Aquanet hairspray and to start tearing my sweatshirts a la Flashdance! ha! So, I was thinking that Lisa Lisa sounds so much like the early Madonna stuff (Lucky Star). What ever happened to her and why won't Madonna go away?

I don't know but I was cruising through a store this weekend and I saw some neon yellow sweatshirts. Do you guys remember the neon sweats from the mid-late eighties? Sweet comeback!

I'm hoping this thread will go away...much like Lisa Lisa.

Thanks for reminding me how old I am.

See, look at it this way---

Because of these silly 80s fads, we can look at pictures from back then and think, wow! I look better NOW than I did 20 years ago! Big hair (WHAT were we thinking? ha!) and torn clothes didn't do much for any of us, I don't think---Did you own a white "Miami Vice" jacket?

and you're right. At least Lisa Lisa went away----unlike Madonna.

There's a lot to appreciate about '80's style/culture. It was very glamourous and over the top. It was really really fun. American men started wearing pastels again. Women re-discovered the power suit. The pop music was goofy and danceable. Punk grew up. Rap was born. Idealism was in Hands Across America, Live Aid, Farm Aid. We still thought we might get bombed every day. Post modern design changed us for the better. Figurative art came back. Even with the big hair and stirrup pants, we still looked better than anyone from the '70's!

Maybe we should add Madonna to the post-apocalypse survival list along with cock roaches and Cher?

My kids, 9 and 12, listen to a local radio station that plays 80s music.  younger's playlist has 80s tunes (including MJ!) and recent artists.

I've seen that show.

Reminded me of my TRAPPER KEEPER. I used to love slowly ripping the velcro apart on the flap when it was dead silent in the class!
