I Love the 80s Cupcake

It is official. I love the 80s. I love the big hair, the colors, the leg warmers, the taffeta and toole dresses... but most of all, I love the music.

Those terrible synthesizers and amazing kaleidoscope video effects. It's love.

I could spend an entire day wondering what it would be like to be 25 in 1987. Would I wear ray bans and miniskirts? (And would I forsee both trends coming back in style 20 years later.) Would I quote Regan and the Bangles in one breath? Would I realize that this wouldn't be the last time I would have a former actor as my politician. (Thank you, Arnold.)

But alas, I missed the 80s. (Well, at least as a 20-something I missed them.) So, here I am... Twenty-five years old in the year 2008, and only 28 days left until I leave my early twenties behind, and enter the year of 26.

80s flashback please?
