80's Flashback!

When I was a kid, in the 80's, my sis & I loved Cyndi Lauper & Joan Jett. So naturally, when I heard that they were coming to play in Houston I thought we had to go. It was Cyndi's True Colors tour which various artist are playing in cities across the country. I think we got the best artist combo of the tour though. Here was the lineup. Lily Hayden (didn't know who she was, but her music was cool), Andy Bell from Erasure, Wanda Sykes, Joan Jett, The B52's, & Cyndi Lauper. OMG! Can it get any better!
For those of you that know me, you know I love to take things to the next level. You know, just for the fun of it. Well I thought it would be great if we dressed 80's for the concert. My sis went along w/the idea. I think she was a little more hesitant though. You know me, I could give a sh** what other people think. They just don't have the balls to do it themselves. So after weeks of planning, here are the results.


Did you notice the jellies? It was funny to watch people double take after we walked by. Everyone seemed to love it though. And one lady even wanted her pic made w/us. We only saw 2 other girls that had the same idea, but they weren't near as 80s'd out as we were. We even wore electric blue eyeliner & mascara!
So now back to the concert. Andy Bell was OK, but sis & I think that he is the poster boy for a gay mid-life crisis. All I'm gonna say is "Just Jack!" (You won't get that if you didn't watch Will & Grace.) Wanda Sykes was hysterical. We were crying, we were laughing so hard. The B52's were good, Rock Lobster was my fav. Joan Jett, OMFG! The woman has to be in her 50's. She came out in black leather pants, a black string bikini top, & rock'n 6-pack abs. Hello! She's awesome! Then Cyndi Lauper came out. She was great too. She kept coming out into the audience. The camera guy couldn't even keep track of her, she was all over the place. She is very funny, by the way. I guess that's @ it. We had a blast, & I wouldn't have wanted to share that experience w/anyone but my sis.
