That 80's hair!! (perms)

Look at that hair.  That, my friends, is a perm.  This was a popular style in the 80's, my mom even did it multiple times.  I even have some friends that still do it today.  I have naturally strait hair, and I often wonder what it would be like to get a perm.  I won't get one though, it's supposed to be bad for your hair.  The process consists of using chemicals to break and reform hair bonds.  They wrap your hair around a "perm rod" (the shape you want your hair) and apply waving lotion.  It even looks like it would be really bad for your hair.  I like the look of a soft curl, but that up there^ is just too much to handle in my opinion. 

Are your lips..... sugary??

Kissing is a pleasurable act of affection. Sugar is a pretty yummy substance. Put them together, and you have a great song from the 80's! Sugar Kisses is a song by the English band Echo and the Bunnymen. It was released in August 1987, reaching number 36 on the UK Singles Chart and 24 on the Irish Single Chart. This song actually kind of makes me sad. The beat is uplifting, but really it's about this girl who plays him and then "Just when you think she's yours,
 she's flown to other shores
 to laugh at how you break
 and melt into this lake" 
What a freaking player! Just not a cool thing to do, dude. Anyway, this is probably one of those songs that everybody loves the moment they here it. Who wouldn't want lips like sugar!? 

The Church

My mom pulled out the album Starfish the other day.  She was practically in tears by the end of it because she was having a "moment of memories".  So I decided to blog about them.  The Church is an Australian band formed in 1980, and is thought of as playing the new wave music of the 80's.  Their big hit was the song The Unguarded Moment and after it hit number 22 in Australia, the band took to touring nationwide.  My mom and her brother went and saw them live and it was one of her favorite concerts.  She even remembers what she wore to see them!  Anyway, my favorite song of theirs at the moment is Blood Money, but I also really like all of their other songs!  This band will probably be another one of my obsessions.... great.
