About Me

Aaah, the 80s - that happy little decade between social activism and self-loathing grunge. Back when the Coreys were king and Kirk Cameron hadn't been left behind. When Cabbage Patch Kids spawned Garbage Pail Kids, and we liked it. From the obscure to the obvious to the no-no-notorious.

Give me a neon jelly bracelet over a new MAC lipstick any day. When my radio's on, it's playing Depeche Mode. When my TV's on, it must be Nick at Nite. And when I need someone to turn to, all I do is roll over and stare dreamily into Andrew McCarthy's eyes (on the poster on my wall, of course) ...

So I started a web site to quench my 80s thirst. Like Totally 80s provides 80s junkies like me with all the music, fashion, movies, tv, and culture of the totally fabulous decade that was the 80s.
