Hi all.
Me and Mrs Nik have been invited to an 80's party and we have absolutely no idea what to wear. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Many thanks

Spaced, I now have a Flock of Seagulls picture circulating in my mind.

Well I went as the mixed up cube and my mate went as the solved one. Basically get a square cardboard box. Cut a plate size in for head and side plate size for arms. Then divide sides into 9 squares by using black electrical tape. Then get coloured card red, yellow, blue, green, orange and white(paper) cut squares to fit and round of edges then stick on. Obviously if you are the solved cube you don�t need one of the colours as this will be at bottom. And if you are mixed up make sure you don�t have the same colours touching on an edge, there are some very fussy people out there, that will go out their way to tell you that that cant happen.

Excellent 4get. That's me sorted, Mrs Nik doesn't fancy it so just got to figure out what to do for her now.

You can rest your drinks on the top of it too

Permed hair and huge shoulder pads!!

Don't forget all the 1980's big hair rock bands. Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, guns n roses.

Or just think about Ashes to Ashes - I think Keely Hawes used my 1982 wardrobe she wore so much stuff I owned!!!
