Guilty Pleasures...

By ObviousTroll (Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 01:15:48 PM EST) (all tags)

Right now, as I type this, I'm rocking out to....

Cyndi Lauper.

Oh, when you were mine,
Used to let you wear all of my clothes,
You were so fine,
And baby that's the reason that it hurt me so...

yeah, but... by muchagecko (4.00 / 3) #1 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 01:34:47 PM EST

unisex clothes were so much a part of the 70's and 80's. It just wasn't even a thing.

Oh, and a another thing. by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 2) #3 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 02:04:09 PM EST

If you're trying to imply that I am now, or have in the past, worn leg-warmers, I'm gonna have to hurt you.

You lived in the 80's by wiredog (4.00 / 2) #4 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 02:12:50 PM EST

If you didn't wear leg warmers, you pegged your jeans and turned up the collars on your polo shirts.

I did none of these things. by nightflameblue (4.00 / 3) #5 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 02:30:53 PM EST

Maybe that's why I don't scoff at the eighties the way all my contemporaries do.

You were a headbanger by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #21 Wed Apr 09, 2008 at 07:33:55 AM EST

Completely different set of embarrassing fashion choices.

Not really. by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #22 Wed Apr 09, 2008 at 07:43:19 AM EST

At least, I'm not embarrassed by anything I did. I'd still have my big hair and be wearing black t-shirts and jeans if I didn't start losing my hair and need to work for a living. The only embarrassment I feel is for people like Donny Baker, who believe they can make up in side and back length for the missing portion on top of their head.

What, no eyeliner? by wiredog (4.00 / 1) #23 Wed Apr 09, 2008 at 07:52:30 AM EST

I'm disappointed...

: Not me. by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #24 Wed Apr 09, 2008 at 08:58:47 AM EST

Though I've got pictures somewhere of AFKS all done up to go see the Misfits that he made me swear on my life I'd never show anyone. Luckily, my life's not that important to me, so I've been passing them around to anybody that knows him. I should really scan them in sometime.

not me by johnny (2.00 / 0) #18 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 04:48:41 PM EST

I didn't even notice that there was an "80's aesthetic" until I started writing "The Pains" a few years ago. It's set in 1985, so I had to do some research. I can't wait until 2013, when I can find out what the 90's looked like.
Buy my books, dammit!

Call them stockings if you must. by muchagecko (4.00 / 3) #7 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 02:45:17 PM EST

Whatever it takes to ease your mind.

Dude! Even I wore leg warmers. Black ones. by greyrat (4.00 / 2) #8 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 02:50:51 PM EST

Over my blue jeans. In October. On campus. They belonged to my GF of the time and she thought they looked sexy on me. Remember, anything for a good hot lay...

Just so you know - I'm going to forever think of you as looking a little like Olivia Newton John...

I will admit though, the one time I let a girlfriend pick out clothes for me I ended up looking like a goth smurf.

I do have (or had) her legs and butt. by greyrat (2.00 / 0) #11 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 03:01:24 PM EST

Sadly (or fortunately) not so much on top.

BTW, the date for my legwarmer winter was 1982.

Given that we're roughly the same age... by ObviousTroll (2.00 / 0) #12 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 03:06:06 PM EST

1982? I'd have to forgive you. There's little a man won't do for sex at that age.

And she was an *animal* too. by greyrat (2.00 / 0) #13 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 03:13:36 PM EST

#SIGH#. Oh to be a senior (in a five year program so, another free year to come) in a college 600 miles from the parents. If I knew then what I know now...

No bj. ;)

No. She preferred to by greyrat (2.00 / 0) #15 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 03:39:59 PM EST

ride me hard and fast like I was a mechanical bull; clawing at my chest, moaning and eventually screaming like -- well -- like -- like wow. Just wow. And do that two or three times a night. Every night. And some afternoons too.

Ah, sweet youth. by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 1) #16 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 03:49:23 PM EST

The older you get, the better it was.

: She was indeed, one of my best experiences. by greyrat (2.00 / 0) #20 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 10:44:13 PM EST

Ummm -- of that sort. And yes, I have a very good imagination. But in this case I have some scars to prove it's not all in my mind.

WIPO: Huey Lewis & the News by greyrat (4.00 / 2) #6 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 02:35:23 PM EST

Happy happy songs.

RE: Cindi Lauper. I love her and would love to wear her clothes -- especially if it turned her on.

Saw them in concert once. by ObviousTroll (4.00 / 1) #9 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 02:54:55 PM EST

They were a great live band.

I've always thought Cyndi Lauper was badly underrated as a singer, if she hadn't gotten caught in that downward spiral of bad movies and pro wrestling she could have been somebody.

People just don't appreciate psychotically twisted song lyrics.

: Amongst the hardcore/br00talz crowd? by nightflameblue (2.00 / 0) #17 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 04:18:06 PM EST

Cindi Lauper is still seen as the best singer to come from the eighties. It's the one scrap of decency left in that crowd of bitchy/whiney guitar slingers.

For the record, and I know I'm being pedantic, by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 2) #19 Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 06:27:01 PM EST

it is not possible to rock out to Cyndi Lauper. Perhaps what you're doing is bopping out?
