Remembering the 1980's

The eighties ignited a hair bomb With Siouxsie And The Banshees Cyndi Lauper and Platinum Blonde With enough Final Net and a thorough tease Your hair would stand up to the stiffest breeze 11/01/18 Remembering The 1980's Poetry Contest Sponsored by Michelle Faulkner

A lifetime before we met, my hubby and I's first concert was Cyndi Lauper in '84. I so wanted plaid pants! Years later I meet him, he's wearing plaid pants... love at first sight! ;) xomo

So true! Brings back the memories of that awful 'cotton candy' hair. You've certainly 'reignited' the memories, Maureen. ~ gw

Very creative approach to the contest! That wild-hair look dodges into the '60s and the present as well, Maureen. Cyndi's still sporting it and it's still hard to get used to my mailman's ever-changing colored hair and beard. Today you "stand out" more if you don't have this look! Enjoyed, Carolyn

Would love to see a photo of the "rainbow colour trend." Also, wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your comment on John Lawless's poem about squirrels laughing at dogs that wear clothes. You have a keen sense of wit, Maureen! I'm a fan. Hugs

True dat! I've embraced the rainbow colour trend but lean towards the 20's bob ;) xomo!

That was funny and brings back memories I had hoped I had forgot. :) But you know what they say....Girls just want to have fun-un
