They're BA-ack!

It's hard to believe. They've been here before and it wasn't pretty the first time...and now...the nerve...They've come back. The 80's.

My sister is turning 40 this summer and her best friend turned 40 in September. So, together, they're having a big birthday bash this weekend...an 80's party. So last night, I was trying on what I had planned to wear. I was cracking up...black leggings, a gray butterfly winged shirt that falls off the shoulder with a boybeater underneath, lots of cheap plastic beads and plastic earrings, mesh gloves and black heels. It looked so trashy and trampy I was hysterical. Frank looked at me with a completely straight face and goes, "You look like most of the girls I see walking around the mall. I mean, you look like you could be going to a bar...not an 80's party."

I should preface this by saying that Frank is wearing a burgundy polyester track suit, a Run DMC tshirt and white tennis shoes with HUGE checkered laces and some pretty massive gold chains. His piece de resistance, so to speak, is the fat handled blue comb that will be sticking out of his back pocket. I think the thing here is, he is afraid I don't look as ridiculous as he does. And let's be honest...

But what am supposed to do?? Is it my fault that the girls today can't see how utterly ridiculous the 80's were the first time around?? Is it my fault that when I walk into Claire's Boutique, I am struck by stands filled to the brim with leg warmers, jelly bracelets, and items that have been paint splattered within an inch of their lives??? I even saw suspenders there the other day, but Lord help me, I just can NOT put on high waisted jeans!

So...I'm still in limbo about what to wear. I have a NKOTB tshirt...an original. But nothing to wear it with. I have a YO MTV Raps shirt...but I don't know about that one either. Long story short, Frank may have to suck it up and just look more ridiculous than I do! Or...he could always wear the leggings...
