My brother's friends were making fun of one of my '80's portraits just the other night. Donna |

I can't believe that the "Flashdance" look then was fashionable. Can you imagine having wristbands for accessories? And leg warmers? I guess the it was the 80s' fault we got that effing hole in the Ozone layer. Too much hairspray!
Haha... reminds me the 'look' in early 90s, the emergence of the hiphop... Cross Colors outfit! Complete with bonnet, baggy jeans... and then the alternative emerged, and it was Chuck Taylors and the madras shirts! And empire-cut dresses paired with combat boots. Or any dress with combat boots.
Oh how I love the 90s. I think, my fashion icons for the first decade of the new century would be the Sex and the City girls. But Shirley Manson of Garbage will ALWAYS be my fashion icon.

And what about the "big hair" thing? When I look at photos of me from the 80's I just cringe.

Yeah, I was exactly the same. And what was with the huge, brightly colored earings?!?!?!? You know the ones which came down to your shoulders and just looked wrong!

I had an entire *collection* of earrings which were outrageous shapes and colors...and the longer the better! Little did I know then, the actual concept of makeup and jewelry is to *enhance* our look, not outshine it! <g> Now, everyday I wear gold hoops. That's it. |

Ooohhh.... accessories talk! I seldom wear earrings, I settle for a stud on the uppermost cartilage of my left ear for everyday wear. I have stopped wearing a watch too, but I am thinking of getting one soon because I have been quite late with things lately  I am a ring-person though, the more exotic and antique, the better! I would like to have Aragorn's ring, though, the one he wears on his left index finger, awide silver band with a colored gem. I also noticed that he also had Trinity ring on one of his fingers... was Cartier around during the Third Age in Middle Earth? ;D |

I don't really wear rings because I get annoyed at them although on occasions I wear them. I've got two bracelets I always wear; one was for my 18th and the other for my 21st, and I've always got my earings in. I've got my ears pierced eight times but to tell the truth it's only recently that I actually wear more interesting earings than usual sleepers/studs. I got my tongue pierced the other year too, but I've got a smaller one in it now so hopefully most people don't notice it.

Do you guys think a navel-ing (navel stud) is worth getting? It's not like I wear a lot of mid-riffs... but I am not so sure if it's more of a discomfort than a body decor...
Cool, ausaims, pierced-tongue? But isn't the tongue a VERY sensitive organ (is tongue an organ, by the way? Ach no wonder am no medicinewoman)? It must've hurt!

Few of my friends have had their navel pierced, and one or two have had trouble with it whereas the others haven't. Perhaps it depends on whether you've got sensitive skin or not.
Not sure whether the tongue is an organ or not!! I'm not a medicine person either (although I've had way more than my far share of operations so perhaps I am....). Anyways it actually didn't really hurt getting it done since they do it so quickly. It was only later when it began to swell up that I had any problem. I couldn't eat properly for like two weeks. On the other hand when my friend had hers done she had no discomfort or anything, and was eating again half an hour later. I suppose, like the navel ring, it depends on the individual as to what happens....
