Happy Birthday 80s child!

My friend, Clare, had a belated surprise party thrown for her on Friday
The theme was 80s, and I took the theme and ran with it. I think my inspiration had to come from footloose. Clashing bright colours. Lots of them. Purple head band, neon yellow over sized earrings, lime green tank top / vest, fluorescent orange tube top and fingernails, hot pink trousers and toenails, and multi-coloured toe socks made into leg warmer type clothing to tie all the colours together - I'm a genius! (As a side note, it took me quite a long time to get the tangles out of my hair from the enormous amount of back combing going on there....how did people do this on a daily basis?!)

Clare and I

Clare, me and Vicki - so it's not the best portrait, but I thought it was too funny not to share

A funny antedote for you: I was on empty when I left my house, so had to stop and get petrol on the way to Clare's. Can you guess how many stares I got while filling up my car? Poor planning on my part!
