Last weekend Dave and I were invited to a birthday party!  It was an 80s themed birthday party and Stephanie (the same girl I went to Disneyworld with a couple weekends ago) knows how to throw a great theme party!<\/p>\n

She decorated her house with vinyl records, cassette “mix” tapes and posters of 80s movies.  Her Pandora radio was set to the 80s channel, and even her birthday cake was a Ms. Pac Man!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Stephanie had been accumulating vinyl 33s and 45s at thrift shops for $0.50 each!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Since I was will in a costuming mood from my Disneyworld trip, I had a good time coming up with an outfit that brought back memories of circa-1983 Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Ferris Bueller all at once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

I don’t think my legs show up in any of the pictures, but I’m wearing black fishnet stockings with lacey ankle socks and stiletto heels. I have a huge fluffy black tutu ($8), part of the pink tulle skirt that I didn’t use with the Mulan costume from two weeks ago, a blank t-shirt with which I used iron on letters to say “Save Ferris” ($4) and Mardi Gras beads from last month. Dave’s shirt was a homemade iron-on of a Van Halen album cover from 1979. We bought his mullet wig, fishnet stockings and the black lace gloves and socks from Amazon for cheap.<\/p>\n

The hair?  A scrunchie made from the bottom of my t-shirt, and LOTS of Aqua Net hairspray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The birthday girl and me!  Steph found this fantastic Dynasty-ish<\/a> pink dress and she reminded me of Joan Collins<\/a>!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
