\"\"<\/a>Oh look, it’s the eighties all over again. If you’ve been shopping for clothes you’re likely already aware. Bright colors are spilling out of the stores. Granted, I discovered this while shopping with my teenage daughter, so they were her stores not mine…but still. There may be some neon in my future. We do love our flashbacks!<\/p>\n

Which makes me think of music. And who doesn’t think of the songs from the ’80’s without thinking about Bonnie Tyler? Who, by the way, is busy recording a new country\/rock album. Because, who isn’t these days?<\/p>\n

But back in the ’80’s she was Holding Out For a Hero<\/em> and asking;<\/p>\n

\n

Where have all the good men gone
\nAnd where are all the gods?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Picture loafers with no socks. Mascara. And lots of hair gel. Miami Vice? Don Johnson?<\/p>\n

\n

Where’s the street-wise Hercules
\nTo fight the rising odds?<\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

How about Blane from Pretty in Pink<\/em> with his turned up collar and his baggy blazers?<\/p>\n

\n

Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
\nLate at night I toss and I turn and I dream
\nof what I need<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Which makes me think of Ayla from The Clan of the Cave Bear<\/em> by Jean M. Auel. Although she had the opposite problem, all she had to pick from were\u00a0Neanderthals.<\/p>\n

And then we come to…<\/p>\n

\n

It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the very least a G.I. Joe. Or Indiana Jones.<\/p>\n

All she was left with was an eclipse, a really bad heartache, and nothing’ but a fool’s game. \u00a0I can’t wait to hear what she has to sing about in the twenty-first century.<\/p>\n

So, flat iron or big hair? How about leggings and wedge heels? Where do you stand on the all important issue of skinny jeans?<\/p>\n
