TWISTED KNICKERS

Believe us when we say we heart the 80’s…the neon, Bananarama, Moon Unit, the crazy kids of St Elmo’s Fire & on & on. There have been bits & pieces of this decadent, self-indulgent era trickling into various designers’ lines but we’re still waiting for the full on surge. And with krimping iron in hand, we are armed and ready to show our support. BUT…(as my mother would say, “big but here…”) we will NOT, I repeat NOT, do the shoulder pad thang.

Granted the updated versions aren’t as obnoxious as the originals, but we don’t like how many we’re seeing. The reason? You know there’s going to be one celebrity out there needing to out-do the rest, bringing some gigundo shoulder pads to the red carpet which will in turn bring them immediately to the malls. Presto – an entire generation is sporting the authentic Dynasty-sized babies. The horror.
