I've decided that, when I grow up, I want to be Alison Goldfrapp!
Seriously.
I was thinking how much she reminds me of the 1980's. Not the hair band part of it but the nightclubbing, decadent times that we went into debt buying clothes, shoes and for the perfect hairstyle. And she has given it a whole new spin...
I was also reminded - fondly - that time of my life and also of how much I missed it. It was a time of carefree nights and hangover-filled days that pretty much anything went. We just went out to the clubs, drank, danced and all with an incredible amount of style. The only bad thing to come out of it was those shoulder pads.
Flash forward a decade or two when they have these lame 80's nights at clubs where youngsters show up wearing t-shirts and jeans. I cringe every time that I think about it. Where is the glamour, the makeup and the decadence? I really miss it.
Is it simply because I had to grow up and be responsible or is it because the world has changed and it's just not politically correct to have and do the things we did then? In my area of the world, there was really no worry about HIV/AIDS until the end of that decade because we were ignorant of it. Still, that cannot be the only reason for it.
Styles nowadays have us paying top dollar for casual wear like Tommy Hilfiger and the Gap instead of giving us quality stylish clothing. Everything is so down-to-earth and lacks glamour. Even Guess is boring. I was surprised to see that the Sears catalogue had more style than most of the newer youth oriented chain stores.
What has happened to the world? Where did our shallow values go? Why do we have to be so serious about things. Sometimes I just wanna forget all that crap and just go back to a simpler - and oh, so stylish - time and just worry about what I am going to wear today.
Then, my mind switches back to Alison. She gives me hope.
And, one day soon, you will see me, out there for all to see, striving to be the diva that I know I am. That's something that I have earned yet forgotten too soon.
Thanks for reading everyone. The weekend is upon us. Have fun!
Just for the record, we are having techno day in my office (well, in my office anyway, the volume is at a reasonable level). And helping me do that, is friskyRadio. I just happened upon it once again...
