haha...I'd forgotten that some of you guys were just babies in the 80's. Very cute though.
|
That's not me actually, I wasn't copyrighted. I don't think I could even style my hair like that kid.
|
oh well, still, there are a few of you that would have been spring chickens then huh. Hmmm...Ibram wouldn't have been more than a twinkle in his daddies eye back then I suppose. lol

Aliantha:
what, no headband??? Tell me, were you wearing leg-warmers when this shot was taken? I have no pics available, but it was: Early 80 - primary school - bowl cuts Mid/late 80s - high school - crew cut/sweep back Very late 80s ... emergence of pony tail. Acquired tie-dyed T-shirt ... oblivious to anachronism. |
nope, no legwarmers. It was actually a dress which was fairly long. Kind of 40's style I suppose you'd say.
I never really got into headbands in the 80's, but I did wear mini skirts and oversized white tshirts with things like 'life' and 'gogo' written on them in fluro colours. |

and wasn't it usually "choose life"? |
I'm going to see if I can rouse my brother - 99% of my childhood photos are in this house and I have no scanner. My brother is 5 minutes away with a scanner and no photos - argh!
My 80s hair is only marginally amusing. But my sister's....! Actually she has always had comedy hair. Bro & I spend a sacreligious few minutes giggling about her latest barnet in church on Friday. Platinum blonde with crispy curls...? Very noughties darling. |
|
my eighties hair can be seen in my topless photos--where ever they are.
UT--I'm sooooooo in lurve with you!!!!! |
UT, you were a hot kid. If you were about... uh, like, 20-odd years younger, i'd totally hit that.
And damn, you were hot 20 years ago too, rkzenrage. |
Yep....UT you was so the hotty!
Mind you, more recent photos of UT make me go squirmy too:P Rk, you look pretty damn good in those photos, but I actually think you got more attractive with age. The recent photos you've posted on here just shout charisma. |
For most of the 80's I had fairly non-descript schoolgirl hair. Sometimes tied in a pony tail.
At the school leavers party (16) I had my hair cropped into short spiky style and died ash-blond. Somehow over a period of about a year that morphed into a kind of Princess Di type style (with ducks arse at the back :P) |
UT was in my dream the other night. He was a Christian, quite thin and very earnest. Even though he was married and very moral I felt he was flirting with me... and I felt I had a chance!
But then the same night I dreamed RK was making "subversive" films (aka porn) trying to bring down the government by proving sex and power were both corrupting and therefore interchangeable. I appeared in one (later in the dream I just watched it) as Dr Who abusing his powers by seducing and practically rapiing a schoolgirl. Other Dwellars found it revolting but (in the dream) it turned me on. ANYWAY - my bro scrapped his scanner so no 80s pics of my hair, sorry. |

OMG LJ, you were so Jason Donovan (thats Kylie Minogue with her 80's hair too)
|
Okay...true story...supposedly. But given who it happened to, I totally believe it.
Winter of 1990...at the time, all my friends and I were in 8th grade. It was the peak of the big hair days...grunge and flannel were creeping up on the horizon. Anyway, at the time, we all used to go to these mixers on Friday nights at the Carpenters' Union Hall. $5 for all you can drink soda, dancing and deer hunting. So my friend Rachel is getting ready one Friday. She was already dressed for the night, but she wanted to eat something before she went. She went into her pantry to get a can of ravioli. She then turned on one of the gas burners on her stove...nothing doing. So she went to get a long match to reignite it, as the pilot light was still lit. Well, she put a lot of Aqua Net in her hair that night, and she leaned over the store to light the burner, which was in lighting mode... WHOOSH! Singed her bangs off. Fortunately, she sustained no other injuries. Pretty fucking funny though...we didn't let her live it down the rest of the school year. |
Meh - happened to me (although I have an excuse)
I was playing Mustardseed in the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1985. We had all day dress rehearsal and the 6th form Art Students (18 years old to my 12) tried out full hair and make-up on me. As it was in modern dress, we were supposed to be punks, but it really just involved blue/ purple/ silver face paint, back-combed hair and lots of spray-in colour (same palette range) I went home for family dinner in the evening - a special occasion I remember - and leaned across the table, only to catch my hair on one of the candles. Well it stuck out further than I was used to! I do have a picture of us on the opening night - sans flame - but as I said earlier - no scanner :( |

I don't have a color scanner here at work, so I used my digital camera. I did so - so.
I was 19yrs old - 1986 - "several" pounds lighter. And at that time I really liked blue eyeshadow. Attachment 15190 |
haha...that's the same shade Dame Edna wears. ;)
|
BTW, guys, thanks for not making fun of the bad modeling shots... I hated doing that but needed the money and exposure. So I thought.
The 80's were an ugly, ugly, time.... there are worse... much worse. |
yep. The 80's was just one big loooooong bad hair day.
|
Hair was just the beginning... goth... pegged pants... it got worse...
|
bubble shorts and dresses, which I am very appalled to note are making a comeback. I can't believe what people will wear in the name of fashion. I do include myself in that. I've worn some really stupid clothes over the years just like everyone else.
|
Jelly shoes!
|
hmmm...I don't know about jelly shoes. Maybe that fad didn't make it here...or maybe even I turned my nose up at it and then blocked it out of my mind as a bad dream.
|
jelly shoes are back too. they're just called crocs and are not transparent
crocks more like.... |
Jellybean shoes?? They were HUGE here.
Bit like those bloody crocs |
oh right, Crocs. The ugliest shoe known to mankind.
|
Not worse than jellies... no way.
|
I remember jelly shoes now. They usually had sparkles in them right?
I never wore them because I found they made my feet sweat. Same with crocs. |
Yes... and by the end of the day the day's dust had turned to mud around your toes and the "jelly"... NASTY!
