Like Gag Me with a Spoon and Barf me Out the Door!

Like, O my God, the 80's, they were like totally bitchin'.
Who could forget what a totally rad time that was?

This year I wanted an 80's theme for my 35th Birthday.
I couldn't decide what to do... and then my answer was found.

A local radio station hosted an Adult Prom this past weekend.
A prom for adults who wanted to relive their prom or make new memories.

So, our friends, Christy and Dan, flew in from Utah and then
Zac, Dan, Christy and I went to the Adult Prom 80's style!

Christy and I in our "Madonna" looks...

Remember in the 80's there was all kinds of music: punk, new wave, and glam rock heavy metal. MTV was born and filled TV sets and ears with the music of the Beastie Boys, Madonna, and Cyndi Lauper.

Zac and Dan wanted to relive the 80's as rock stars...

And, dude, the hairstyles were awesome! In the 80's hair was big, colored, spiked, feathered and in regular and backward mullets. My philosophy...Go big, go neon, go crazy, go 80's.

And like every good Prom couple... we went out to dinner before hand.

I'm not sure that Mexican Restaurant will EVER be the same!

For that matter, I'm not sure downtown Boise will ever be the same again.

People cleared the sidewalks when they saw us coming.

I don't think they knew if we were for real....
Once at the Prom we danced the night away.


We even met some new friends what were dressed in their own 80's Prom attire....

We were definitely the hit of the Prom.

We were treated like celebrities... we had our pictures taken by people over and over.

At one point Christy and I were even given condoms by some random guys who thought they might get "lucky."


And to make our night complete, we were able to find an old 80's Trans-Am
to do a photo shoot with.

I have to say that I have 3 of the best friends in the whole world... DAN, CHRISTY and ZAC!

They are so awesome for being such troopers and indulging my 80's whim.

I had a totally bitchin' time.

Jenny, you are SO freakin' funny!! I wish I could be as uninhibited as you...

My husband is the same way, he will wear just about anything (except for the time I asked him if we could dress up as Sonny and Cher for Halloween (me Sonny, him Cher). He refuses to wear a dress. Oh well. I tried.

Thanks for sharing the laughs with us!!!
