Firstly -
TA-DA!!!

We now have 50 members.

Thank you to everyone for making this community enjoyable and interesting for me.

Secondly -
I've decided to post a music playlist in the profile page but I would like the community to choose which songs get put on it. The list will be updated and changed every 6 months or so for new members to have a say.

So please have a think and then send me a private message stating your first and second choice of which 80's songs you would like to see on the play list.

I watched a repeat of a programme about classic UK ads the other day and then found this clip on Youtube this morning. I know the ad was made in '79 but it ran for ten years so it's definitely more of an '80's thing!

The cult classic -  The 'Shake 'n' Vac ad!


( Jenny Logan and others discuss 'The making of...' )

Linda Evangelista, 80s, 175 pics:

I asked about 30 of my friends what their favourite advert of the early 80's was

This is the ad that all but one of my friends said - (from late '79/ early '80ish)

Ok, So....I was flicking through a film magazine and fell upon a page informing me that Nike have brought out a range of shoes nicknamed

Marty McFly 2015 Hyperdunks

Anyone who has watched 'Back to the Future II ' will know of the futuristic Nike trainers Doc gives Marty in 2015 to imitate his son.  Nike have just released a version of the shoe!!!!



Yeah I kind of mini squeed right there at work when I read the magazine. 

To see the product - CLICK HERE

So, who's gonna buy me a pair??!!

And what's about glam/hair-metal?!

Love them all.

I'm going to see Duran Duran tonight here in Boston ^_^ ... I'll try and remember to let you all know how it was.

Even though I already know it will be kick-ass lol.

Hi there !
I just joined a little while ago... I am a huge huge HUGE 80s fan.
I really lived in the wrong decade was I think back, I was so meant to live in the 80s.

Anyway, my main reason for posting is I wanted to know how many of you were Prince fans, but more specifically Purple Rain fans?

I have been a Prince fan for a while, but sadly had never gotten the chance to fully watch Purple Rain...now I'm kind of obsessed *not gonna lie*

I think the whole idea of it being simple yet complicated is so beautiful. it's just such an odd little film, but just makes me heart skip a beat. Not to mention, Prince is highly sexi <3

For a bit of fun heres some 80's piccies. All you have to do is guess who or what they are.



1. Name the film


2. Name the tv show


3. What is it? (You don't have to give me it's personal name 'cos I've no idea, but if you do know then let me know!)


4. Name the band and the album.
