Check out these very '80s-looking people at a KD mixer in 1984. Oh, gosh, look who turned up.

Almost didn't recognize him. Think he tanned to the next nationality! :eek:

How fun to be able casually to slip into conversation that he went to a date party with you!

OMG....the shirt. The collar that looks starched. THE SHORTS. I've come to the conclusion that guys' 80s clothing (at least when they were trying to be fashionable) was WAY sillier than women's.

HOW ARE HIS TEETH SO WHITE?! I must know. This was well before commercial teeth whitening.

The old fashioned way? Rinse with peroxide.

Well, looks like I'm the only one brave enough to post pictures of my and my sisters 80s fashion choices :)

Fall Rush, 1987. Yes, I am in here; no I am not saying which one I am (although, to be honest, all four of us are kind of embarrassing looking)

Informal Rush, I'm thinking 1989

I sure remember having all that big, curly hair! Lord, that took a lot of time & hairspray

Does anyone else ever look at pictures of groups on other campuses and think they look like they would belong to a different group on your own campus?

"That's the Alpha Betas? They look like the Gamma Epsilons at ASU."

The girl in the yellow sweater and skirt in the informal rush pic is wearing my late 80s uniform. Also, similar hair. I'm afraid my doppelgänger may have been your sorority sister.

Am I glad that I wasn't in college in the eighties! My hair would have neither curled nor stayed big for over 5 minutes!

Yes, God chose right when he had me in college in the seventies.

Darn, that never worked for me. Damn you, Brad Pitt! *shakes fist*

The blonde in the first picture has glorious hair. My 1989-self is very envious.

I so remember that pink sofa!

80s hair was so easy, though. Perm+mousse+drying your hair upside down+ a can of Aqua Net and boom, you're done.

Oh wait. I see what you mean.

Titchou 05-21-2013 02:17 PM

Or just have really thick hair and a righteous spiral perm...my mane was glorious!
