| HELP, HELP, HELP!!! Tonight is Rock Band/Guitar Hero New Year's Eve! We are all supposed to dress as 80s rock stars or TV stars and going to "rock" in the New Year! hehehe I am TOTALLY (get it?) lost as to what to wear. I have always dressed kinda 70s hippie - even in the 80s - and the only 80s clothes I have is a pair of black leggings with lace at the ankles! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - I am clueless as to what to wear!! And my hair!! It is SO 70s - I grew my bangs out over a year ago and let the perm grow out, so now I have long, gray/silver straight, thick hair parted in the middle! However, Billy is all excited - all he has to do is pull out old stage clothes and his old pointy-toed boots. But he did ask me to find him some cross earrings today... sheesh. | |

| the leggings,a tee shirt with the neck cut off and slung off your shoulder (like flashdance) ponytail on the side and lots of bright makeup! or you could go with victor's idea which would definately win you best costume. | |

| Well, really... it looked better in real life... honest! But we had a blast.... Strawberry Shortcake was there, Billy Idol, Punky Brewster, David Hasselhoff, Larry Byrd, Donna Summer, Magnum PI, Pat Benetar, Boy George and a bunch of others! It was hilarious... Funny, Billy and I were the absolute oldest people there (in our 50s), and yet we had as much fun as the 20 and 30 year olds! We laughed our butts off at Rock Band... the punches had names like "Purple rain" and "Pretty in Pink"... Goonies played on the TV... and nobody got stinkin' drunk or high and made fools of themselves! | |

| Wow Marcia those are the first pics I have seen of you! You totally don't look like you sound. That's not a bad thing - you're a QT! You got a good 80's vibe going on there. | |

Well, that may look like me in the face, but I never wear T-shirts. I can't stand T-shirts unless they are henleys or cut out at the neck - I feel like they are choking me. Also. it took me two washings to get that hair spray out! hehehe Here's something fun... an actual photograph of me in the 80s and the 70s. The one on the left was taken in 1983 or 85, the one on the right taken in 1976. See... even in the 80s, I didn't do the 80s hair, make-up or clothes! | |

| you hippie! lol no you still don't look like you sound there. You actually almost sound like my hubby's ex dispatcher but she dosen't look anything like she sounds either and you and her look totally different too. Well I guess our voices don't always match our looks - until about 3 years ago I never realized that I had such a little voice. I mean sheesh I always thought I had a regular voice not a girlie voice. | |

| It might because we are the same age, but it looks just like Tink... just darker and more hair! (You know Tink is the one on the drums, right?) Tink, your avatar looks GREAT! | |
