So, I'm going to an 80's party tonite
 

I really have no idea what I'm supposed to wear.

So far I have a headband and tubesocks....



I figured you older guys could help me out with ideas :)

**** off bundle of sticks.

:(

Roll your pant legs up and wear a hypercolor t-shirt.

I need to go to goodwill to get one of those neon colored shirts

Good God man, can't you Google. Get a pair of parachute pants, cheap Risky Business sunglasses and a bad haircut and you're in business.


Can't the youth of today do any research themselves?

Do you look anything like Farmer Ted (otherwise known as The Geek)?

What you're really supposed to wear is some legwarmers. Legwarmers and spandex.

well, I've done that already, but I figured I'd see if you guys had any good ideas.

I donno,

but I doubt it

...and a sweatshirt with the sleeves and neckline cut out of it.

haha, okay I'm not a complete idiot

and a gold necklace. Rope style.

Make sure to announce your presence by yelling things like "NKOTB rules!" and pick up some hot babes by coming up behind them and saying "You blinded me..... with SCIENCE!"

You've gotta get rid of the nipple rings though. We weren't that ****ing stupid in the '80s.

hmm, I actually can get a big gold necklace

ROFL

ahaha, I'm SO going to do the "You blinded me..... with SCIENCE!"

I trust that you realize this is debatable.

*sigh* I haven't had my nipple pierced since that thread hit page 2. My lip ring has been gone for about 3 weeks too.

AC/DC ,Guns & Roses, or Metalica T-shirt with ripped jeans at the knees would work

:shrug:

Sorry, I tend to not keep up with the annoying details of the Planet.

Members Only jacket.

And a skinny woven tie -- which I actually liked.

I see Jim's invitation got "lost" in the mail again.

Damn, those are the ultimate in 80's fashion.

If you wear jeans, tight-roll them. Funny crap. ROFL

take a shitty pair of jeans and bleach stain them. Rip some holes in 'em and throw them in the wash. Go out and get one of those Lacosse shirts with the gator on it and wear your color up.
Then walk around muttering, "sweep the leg Johhny" to yourself all night.

Living through the 80's was enough. I'm certainly not going to a party celebrating that shit. I prefer celebrating decades that I really didn't know such as the Roaring 20's or the 1960's.

Let me know how that goes. If it works I'll have to try that next time I'm at the supermarket. I've never been to an 80's party but I'm sure I'd be completely unbearable if I was at one.

Its ceremonial.

I've been to several ... in the 80s.

I have always been a big 1890's fan.

jellies and a string bean

That is so f'ing pimp. ROFL

Or you could just go as the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl and wear a choke collar around your neck.

haha YES that'd go over well too, all my friends are big chiefs fans :)

I went to goodwill earlier to get some torn up jeans, and I found a perfect pair, tons of holes, bleach stains, went to go buy it when I check the waist size...



27


frickin 27, i mean....is that even wearable?

Got a Members only jacket lying around somewhere?

at home :(

my grandpa gave me one a while back.

It would be PERFECT

Well that's good as long as you don't run into any Bronco fans, then they can just say "Well good thing you didn't come as a Chiefs fan, it's hard to dress up as an empty stadium."

haha that's true =/

Get a long poofy wig, Axle Rose style.

If you have any Alf or Ghostbusters shirts laying around, they would help tremendously.

okay, so far I have a black punk(ish) shirt my old lip ring (it looks real if I just slip it over my lip) and I'm going to buy some acidwash jeans at a thrift store.

Probably give myself a fauxhawk too.

oh god I wish.

Two things...

1. Do a google search for Patrick Swayze, Dirty Dancing or Road House...comb your hair like his, if it is long enough.

2. Tight-roll you jeans.


Also, if you have the balls, go in your underwear, Tom Cruise Risky Business style.

Speak for yourself. I was plenty stupid.

You mean pin your acid washed jeans up above your ankles by folding them as you roll them. A nice skinny tie (preferably with some sort of musical reference, like a keyboard) over a colored t-shirt and a suit jacket. Cap it with topsiders and no socks.

A couple of Sex Pistols and Ramones buttons on a pork pie hat would be optional.

This has probably been said but I was gonna tell you to get a "mullet" but I noticed you live in Missouri so you already have one. :)

In the 80's it was. If all the hair on your legs wasn't rubbed off by your tight jeans, they weren't tight enough.

Nobody in the 80's was stupid enough to pierce their ****ing lip, so you should probably eliminate that from your costume.

The 80's were uneventful so I went straight from the 70's to the 90's.

You're a little late.
