I remember shoulder pads, leg warmers in neon colors, chunky, flashy earrings, tight perms with blonde highlights. Singing "Fame I'm gonna live forever" at the top of my lungs driving. Madonna. MTV. Los Angeles. Deep yearnings to transcend it all. Frenetic. The 80s were a head spin for me. Whew. Tough time to find stability as an adult, much less for a tween. xo

Thank you, Kate. I was the only kid I knew with straight hair who never permed it. But I did tease it high I few times!

Cool! That "big hair" look was so in with lots of height. Glad we made it through to face this mad time. It's been quite a journey these past decades, change upon change.
