The 80's are back to haunt us! PART 2

Thank goodness Thanksgiving is over - now to get ready for Christmas.  Don't wanna blog about Thanksgiving or Christmas yet.  So here goes.

This post is dedicated to: Mrs. Fish (now you owe me), and Anti-Supermom (because you had the guts first), and all the other ladies who agree the 80's should stay in the 80s!

I had Oprah on in the background the a few weeks ago while I was reading (quiet doesn't sit well for me unless I'm trying to sleep - something to do with having too many boys in our house).  Anyway.  I was reading when all the sudden I heard profanity on the screen.  This high fashion dude says "the 80's are back"

I wanted to run screaming from the room!  But instead I stopped reading and turned up the volume to listen to this man talk about how to wear the "latest" 80s fashions. People - don't you get it???  The 80's are over for a reason.  (To see a bulleted list go here)  Those of us who lived through it the first time do NOT want to go back - ever. 

Apparently you still don't believe me.  Well the hot-shot fashion dude said ruffles are back.  I remember ruffles, they went something like this.

Not so fabulous right?

He also said over the knee boots are back.  He said you can wear them over your skinny jeans.  Skinny jeans, I will not be caught dead in skinny jeans.  I know leg warmers are back, along with jean skirts and tights.  I've heard hammer pants are back.  But I'm waiting, I'm waiting to see the bangs.  When we see the bangs come back, we'll know we've lost all hope.

Please people, take this as a sign of warning, you don't want to be remembered like this!

The 80's are back to haunt us!

Have you noticed that when you go into the store today the clothes look a little...well... like they are straight out of the 80's?  Jean skirts with leggings underneath, leg warmers, polka dots.  I am just waiting until they bring back hammer pants, I can so see the twins in some. 

It took us until the middle of the 90's to figure out that the 80's were a bad idea, and yet here we are again not quite 20 years later going back to the same ole thing.

Could it get any worse? 

Well yes, they could bring back 80's hair. 

• Hair that requires a whole can of hair spray each and every morning. 
• Antenna bangs, mullets, straight on top and curly on the sides.
• Crimped hair.
• Great big, gigantic hairbows.
• And my personal favorite, wearing it pulled back on one side with one of those fancy bows and done on the other, all while your bangs are sprayed high enough to reach the moon.

Manic Mother decided to do a little photo contest and see who had the worst hair contest.  I think it is really a warning to the younger generation not to bring back 80's hair.

I was going to do it - I really thought about it.  I chickened out.

But go see what she's got linked up

if you see my son

If you glimpse my youngest child this week - don't kill the barber.

While every other two year old may sit quiet and still for their hair cut, our son decided to lean into Mommy's shirt with his mouth open and taste the fine blonde strands that were decorating it. This is the same shirt that Mommy cut the twins hair in so the decorations were a plenty.

Apparently the decorations don't taste good.

Apparently that meant the hair cut was over. Even if the barber wasn't finished. Or maybe the barber was trying to bring back the rat tail.

The twins look great though - all spiffed up for picture day.
