Last night over a totally radical dinner at the Green Elephant (you've got to like totally try the tempura asparagus salad off the specials menu - it's like, oh my god, seriously fresh), my sister and I had a blast reminiscing about the gag me with a spoon world that was '80s fashion. Of course we like totally talked about the '80s obsession with peg-legging pants, the use of socks and leg warmers with pumps (that's what we called high heels in the '80s) and the strange trend of acid-washed denim. But mostly we like laughed out loud about '80s hair. My own personal '80s do included a spiral perm with my bangs and the sides teased out and up as high as possible. Like can you believe it? Today it just sounds grody to the max, but back then it was totally rad.

For those of us who didn't get enough of the Material Girl era, we can relive it all again tonight at the Totally 25 Party at the Portland Museum of Art. The fun starts at 5 pm and includes a costume contest, music by '80s tribute band The Awesome and a screening of the '80s classic "The Breakfast Club." I'm stoked that there will be a cash bar. But best of all, it's totally free. Party hearty dudes!
