NKOTB to return?

By indi on Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 | No Comments

I was reading today that New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) are set to announce something on their website. Whether that means a new album, a tour it remains to be seen. NKOTB rose to fame in the 80s with such hits as Hangin Tough, Step by Step to but name a few. Hard to [...]

Shoes, earrings and stuff

By bron on Friday, January 25th, 2008 | No Comments

In today’s ecclectic fashion world, there are many elements that first came to light in the eighties. Ballet shoes are all the rage again now with the kids. In the 80s they were slightly different, more like a real ballet shoe. Now they are ballet inspired flatties. However, I have seen some shoes that could [...]

Addicted to Love?

By indi on Tuesday, January 8th, 2008 | 3 Comments

One of most iconic songs from the 80′s was Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love. The girls in the music video were scantily dressed for the 80′s, and caused quite a stir. To say they are iconic of the 80s is an understatement as even to this day they are constantly parodied. For a reminder of [...]

The Commodore 64

By indi on Saturday, January 5th, 2008 | 1 Comment

‘The’ Computer of the 80′s was the Commodore 64 – the best thing since sliced bread. Released in August 1982, the C64 took the world by storm, and is even popular today amongst the cultist computer nerds. Yeah it looks ugly, but this 8 bit (yes that’s right) computer was capable of so many things. [...]

Fluro or BUST

Have you walked past SUPRE lately?? It is like a flash back to the 80s. All the same FLURO colours screaming out the door at you. They have even re-hashed the plastic jewellery. If I’d had a crystal ball when I was a perky teenager/young 20 something I’d have been SO IN now, it would [...]

Take the L out of LOVER and it’s OVER (1982 – “Take the L” /made it to number 21 in AU) Classic, poetic, timeless, and to us teenage girls in the 80s, ever so POIGNANT. She was right up there giving us the words of the era. What else gave you inspiration?? Turning Japanese – [...]

It’s all in the Hair Attitude

By bron on Thursday, January 3rd, 2008 | No Comments

The 80s, the last bastion of great original hair attitude. Back in the 80s only inner city dwellers would dare to have 2 toned hair, and now every suburban Tracey and Jacinta has it. Back in the 80s the more makeup you had on your face at the one time, indicated your place in the [...]

Cure is the CURE

CURE is the CURE  Thank goodness for THE CURE. When they hit mainstream with The Head On The Door in the 80s, only us true fans knew they would still be with us today. Looking and sounding as great as they were in the heady 80s, Robert, Porl, Jason and Simon were timeless and awesome [...]
