Totally Awesome 80s: A Lexicon of the Music, Videos, Movies, TV Shows, Stars, and Trends of that Decadent Decade

The 80s revival starts here!

The 80s ended only a few years ago, but already the days of Dynasty, skinny ties, and Valley Girls beckon. In Totally Awesome 80s, Matthew Rettenmund drops the touchy-feely 90s and dredges up the garish, glorious 80s. He's captured it all, from Culture Club to Men at Work, parachute pants to Members Only jackets, E.T. to Porky's, Moonlighting to The Cosby Show, and much more.

Deliciously wicked and unnervingly hip, Totally Awesome 80s holds a mirror up to that indulgent decade and lets us laugh at the all-too-familiar reflection.

Who could forget the decade that brought us AIDS, Milli Vannilli, teen slasher movies, and a sitting U.S. president with an advanced case of Alzheimer's disease? Well, I guess that question answers itself, but for those who wish to remember, no finer source can be found than Totally Awesome 80s, by Matthew Rettenmund, the man who brought us Encyclopedia Madonnica. This loving but ironic catalog of the most important cultural events of the 80s is fittingly slim, flashy, and shallow, covering mostly the poppiest movies, songs, and political actions of the era that told us "greed is good."

Provocatively short shorts, high heels and a military-inspired jacket blend seamlessly in an outfit styled in the purest punk tradition.

There’s just no denying it: 1980s fashions are back in style. Embrace the trend with this classic ribbon barrette. Nothing says the 80?s quite like classic retro ribbon barrettes. When I was in grade school these were all the rage and everyone had them in colors to match every outfit. Oops, I think I just aged myself. Oh well! I remember learning to make ribbon barrettes in Girl Scouts. Ahh the memories …" learn more at myfbm.com
