Colorful Childhood

This is strange. It seems like everytime I make a post about Jem or my childhood it's the month of April. Maybe because it's spring and I think of new beginnings. Or maybe all the colorful easter eggs and bunnies make me think of Jem. My previous post on Jem was here and here, both in April, different year.  Anyhow, I'm still waiting on a Jem movie to come out. Would I love to work on that movie set. She's an icon of my childhood years and I can bet on my right hand that Betsey Johnson had some inspiration from Jem. Check out those rose leggings, thats so BJ, but first there was Jem.

 There was Rainbow Bright and Lisa Frank who shaped my colorful world to what it is today. What a boring childhood I would of had if it wasn't for them. But thank GOD they were around because it was all truly outrageous! oxoxooxox

Ah...the 80's

Sincerely, The Breakfast Club! by painthead featuring white gold jewelry

Ah, The 80's where Love was a battle field and Bananarama had a cruel summer.

I was a teeny tiny little girl during the 80's, so I guessed I lived through the 80's, but cannot recall any of it; beside my toys and music. I was to little to remember anything esle. I wish my mom and older sister still had all their 80's rags. The 80's have become the "new" 70's. People are having parties in this theme or if anything is found from the 80's it is already considered "vintage". Either way, this decade was unique as all decades before and after, but something about the 80's was very special. Music was an art, no gimmicks; just style and singing. Movies had the best story line and sound tracks. Simple Minds said it best, "Don't you forget about Me" during the unforgettable "The Breakfast Club" movie.

So happy we haven't. What is your favorite decade?
