80s Christmas bash

some parts of the 80's were not good...

Remember splatter paint?!

so.....me and C were thinking about having a christmas party. We were all talking about it at the last brunch i hosted for some friends. Said friends thought a lord of the rings christmas party theme would be fun. and i think it may be...but we started thinking and playing with the theme. all (well, most) girls love a good reason to dress up. and i am always up for a theme party. anyways....watching dwts and donnie and kym had a paso doble in an 80s theme. they had a great 80s outfit recently...seen here.

and i realized that (i'm pretty sure) most people can pretty easily get in theme with an 80s christmas. so....80's Christmas bash 2009 was born. (sorry friends who wanted lord of the rings....i am dying to wear leg warmers!).

the rest of the pics were some 80s attire research i just came across. also - read this.... The key to achieving the 80s look, regardless of the specific costume you choose, is excess. It was after all the decade of excess – the me decade, the greed decade. So don’t skimp or be weighed down or held back by your 90s and 00s sensibilities – go for it. Add the extra layer of blush or blue eyeliner, go for another spray with the Aqua Net, and pile on another couple of bracelets. Moderation is for other decades – there are no points for class, subtly or understatement. The 80s look is about color, volume, and abundance.

How much fun is that??
