What a Feeling
The 1980s was a period of many dreams. The arts and entertainment were the centers of my life. For young female adults who weren't ready for the business uniform of a more traditional nine-to-five job, a more casual comfortable attire became the norm. Music videos became very popular during this period. Everyone had their favorites. Dance movies, like Fame, hit the screen. These films influenced my dreams as well. I never became the next Madonna but I had fun trying. I spent my college years taking Jazz dance classes and singing at open mics. I think I watched every dance movie that hit the screen. These movies influenced my fashion style as well. I loved the fashion styles of this period. Clothes of comfort. Both emotional comfort, and practicality comfort.

March of the Mods
The year was 1965, I was thirteen years old and I opened the box as though I were opening a chest full of jewels, Inside the thin layer of cardboard and hidden beneath a mountain of tissue paper were my first pair of Chelsea boots This was to be the first stage of my becoming a Mod (short for modernist) At the school I attended you were either a Beatles (Mod) fan, or a Rolling Stones (Rocker) fan, even though the Stones would early in their careers opt for the mod look, the point was that there was no in-between, you were what you wore when you clambered out of your school uniform and hit the streets. I opted for the mod look, even though I was a massive Stones fan.

Now &Then!
I have always, and by always, I mean since being a very young girl, had a love affair with clothes. I remember being dressed by my mum way back in the year dot? She always explained why she was dressing me in what she had chosen, and why it was the right thing to wear.

Punk's not dead
If you couldn't tell by the various articles about; punk music and even Ska music. I love everything punk and grew up a huge punk, so let's talk about why punk fashion really needs to comeback. Now disclaimer, a lot of punk can be very NSFW. I will try to keep this article as PG as possible, however if anyone takes offense to anything I do apologize and I just want to say, potential content warning ahead. So, read at your own discretion you have been warned. Finally although the title is incredibly overused, sue me. The other option was supposed to be MAPA, you can figure out what that title was supposed to mean.

"Can't repeat the past? Why, of course, you can…." The Great Gatsby
Most of us have seen The Great Gatsby, the movie starting Tobey Maguire as the Midwest native Nick Carraway who arrives in New York in 1922 in hot pursuit of the American dream. Nick, a would-be writer, moves next-door to millionaire Jay Gatsby, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and becomes drawn into the roaring twenties' captivating world. Wealthy humans flock to fabulous parties, which sets the scene for Nick's writing of impossible love, dreams, and tragedy. If you have seen this movie, you have witnessed the beautiful fashion adorned by both women and men.

Nostalgic Fashion Styles
From my nostalgic memories of old trends to comparisons to modern fashion and style trends. Basic Make-Up When I was in school and for a few years after, make-up was a means of smoothing out skin tones, concealing blemishing, and accentuating your features. You had concealer, foundation, blush, one to three eye shadow colors, lipstick, a thin layer of eyeliner, and mascara. Some also opted to use an eyelash curler. You also only needed a few make-up brushes.

I Want My Full Size Shirts Back
I'm not afraid to admit my sense of style is pretty lame. My closet basically consists of concert t-shirts and a few dresses that hang there and look pretty. I do have some nice clothes but honestly I don't keep up with all the latest trends. I wear whatever I feel like that day.
