80's revival

Last night Gayle and I went with some friends to an 80's disco, to raise money for one of Gayle's godchildren school in Horton (nr Chipping Sodbury)
We seem to have spent the last few weekends tracking down our costumes, which was quite fun really. Girls seem to have it a bit easier at the moment as 80's are in for them but for men it was a bit harder! I managed to track down a very cool (!) new romantics frilly shirt from a shop on the Gloucester Rd, so it was down the New Romantics road I went, getting a dodgy wig and scarves to tie around wrists and waist.
For this was a bit of trip down memory lane, I've not dressed up like this for a good 20 years, when the make up was applied I was back there reliving my mis-spent youth!
Gayle got herself a rara skirt and legless tights with legwarmers and her hair was great - all backcombed and then tied up with lace (very Madonna-esque!) - apparently this is how she did it every weekend while she was mis-spending her youth in Nailsea Scotch Horn Disco's! Gayle also dug out her original Duran Duran sweatbands and scarf - she was a real Duranie when she was young!!
The four us applied plenty of spray on glitter - now everything we touch seems to be glittery - will we ever manage to get rid of it!
The disco was entertaining, Gayle and her friend seemed to know all the words to all the songs, whilst I claimed I didn't remember many - being more of the Goth type then and lost in some university haze!
