The 80's are totally BACK!

Ok but excuse me I freakin' WORE both of these dresses many, MANY times in every color of the rainbow back in the mid to late 80's. Shoot even the early 90's. It blew my mind to see both represented so faithfully here. The same seams, the same floppy limp bow, Jesus the same off-the-shoulder thing!! Run for your lives!! And its gone up, pay $330.00 for this red silk bow dress and $178 for the black and white number with the shawl collar. Ew.

Hey Tennille the Captain is Looking For You


High waisted pants are back in style! And wow aren't these exactly what you had in mind? Someone went back in time and grabbed a pair of jeans right out of the Sears catalog or County Seat or something. All they need now is 6 pleats. Just give it time. My suggestion is to stock up on the low waisted jeans of your choice before this is all that you have to chose from. These? Well they are $231 and have a front rise of 12.5". Yowza!

This is a Member's Only jacket


The description of this $506 jacket says it's a "Classically styled motocross jacket takes a super-hip turn in metallic silver leather. Styled with zippered pockets at the chest and hips and snap-closure epaulets at the shoulders." PLEASE! Stop with the epaulets. Also this IS NOT a motocross jacket. Anyone who was alive and dressing themselves in the 80's knows exactly what this jacket it a copy of. Am I right?

Disco Fever


I have a strange love hate relationship with sparkly items. I knew tube tops might come back into fashion, but it seemed like the sequin tube top is such a stereotype, that it's just too ridiculous. But no. Again, on an "urban" clothes website we find it for the actaul price of $32. But still. Really? Are the kids going to wear this awful thing? Send me your photos.

Well I'll Be Dipped... In Silver


Sometimes I have a problem with the whole set up of photo. Like with this one. The beehive hair-doo they have the model in is too much. I also think the model might have a tumor or implant gone awry in her butt. The one cheek is HUGE and the other, not so much. I want to know what this material feels like, it looks so silky and cooly metallic. The cowl neck in back is kinda 80's Dynasty retro. The whole look is something only Krystal Carrington could pull off. But for $220 this Oleg Cassini dress is quite the holiday bargain.
