what did 80s hairstyles look like
80s hairstyles were incredibly tacky compared to any other decade. High top fades, mullets, jheri curls you name it. They were all pretty bad. Now, don’t get me wrong, feathered hair could look nice when it was done right and not over done. But for the most part tacky was in.

See.. there is just now excuse for this sort of thing!
It was a sort of.. false futuristic look that everyone was swept up in.

Movie Review - Teen Witch
All Louise wanted was to get Brad’s attention… and luckily for her she’s a descendant of Salem Witches!
Another movie my best friend sent me to borrow (for the purposes of 8o’s rewind post/content of course) and what’s so sad is that until I rewatched it the only part I could vividly remember was the Top That rap segment. Louise is the typical teenage girl at school who isn’t popular, has the worst life, never gets the hot guys, and everything always goes wrong for her. All of this changes when she realizes she’s actually a witch and has powers… and then to keep the plot going, she starts setting out to make herself be as popular as she wants to be. I know, the write up of the plot makes it sound bad but remember; it’s an 80’s movie! Quite frankly, as basic as the plot is (and yeah, you can follow point a to point b with just what I’ve said and guess what happens at the end… maybe), I’m glad to have rewatched it because it was very enjoyable.
It’s got the basic romance and teen angsty elements that most of the films of that time had, it’s got witches and spells and spells gone wrong… and 80’s clothes, style, and music. What’s not to want to see there? I leave you with not only the official movie trailer (and Lord, 80’s trailers were so baaaad) and the clip of the afforementioned Top That rap scene. Check it out sometime!
