The 80’s Have Returned…and I Apologize…

To paraphrase a joke my friend used to tell: I apologize for the 80's/90's fashion. I was there. I could have stopped it. 


Reasons why the 80’s and 90’s have returned with a vengeance—all observations after a trip to the mall:

1.       The “pumped up kicks” in the shoe store are hideous. They are all neon green and hot pink—a color combination I thought we left in the 1980’s.
2.       I spotted a man sitting in the middle of the food court, talking on a bright red, curly cord, phone receiver…that was attached to his cell phone. At first, I didn't even think this was odd at all.
3.       The prom dresses! (insert scream here) The dresses are back with a VENGEANCE! They are all polka dotted and poofy! I legitimately saw puffy sleeves, like all those hideous dresses at Good Will that have not sold since the late 80’s, early 90’s.  
4.       There are rumors of an NSync reunion.  Yes. (This has nothing to do with my trip to the mall, but deserves placement in my list anyway.)


Now—go listen to some boy bands (pre-2000, preferably), put on a little Full House or Punky Brewster, and crimp your hair…NOW!
