What do you think of the look of the 80's?

Everyone looked so good during that time, before botox.

    I wonder why that isn't fair seas and following winds. That makes more sense.

    Unless you are sailing, then fair winds becomes important.

    We skirted a typhoon in the Indian Ocean. It was fun. I liked rough seas.

     I can only hope that fashion trends from the '80s never come back around again, It was the worst decade of fashion.

    I agree there were some unusually bad parts of it.  However, now looking back at videos, women looked more natural.  There was individuality, not everyone looked alike.  Now pumped up lips, boobs and tush are the norm.  Folks have lost their ability to have natural facial expressions due to nerves being frozen with botox.  The difference is really noticeable. (to me)

  • 80's had big curly/fuzzy hair for women, and mullets for men.  Padded shoulders in dresses and suits for women .. the Don Johnson Miami Vice look for men.
    Not my favorite .. not sure how natural any of that looked.
    It was better than the 70's though.

      It appears you’re referring more to women’s faces and the makeup/procedures used for so-called beauty and enhancement of beauty rather than clothing, shoes, accessories, etc. 
      I am an opponent of anything that either detracts from, hides, or obliterates natural beauty, which includes the vast majority of makeup and procedures that are used by a high percentage of women these days (“these days” loosely defined as in the past decade or two). To focus on the 1980s as a comparison to 1990-2021, little by little over the past century and a half, a multitude of things the cosmetics industry does has slowly creeped up to create Frankensteinian looks in women. The entertainment industry, the advertising industry, the self-help industry, the plastic surgery industry and other global conglomerates are equal accomplices in many ways for their parts in contributing to the fallacies that dictate how women “should” look in order to”fit in”.  The 1980s featured less of what we see today, but much more than what was seen in the 1940s or the 1960s. Incrementally, it gets continually worse.

      Botox is merely one of the dozens of ravishes that aptly describe what I’m ranting about here, it is certainly not alone.

    And now they are starting to target men. Vanity is a multi-billion dollar industry.
