The Eighties: Better the Second Time Around.

Mr. T on 80′s Fashion from http://jeffd.vox.com/

Check out Mr. T in his sassy overalls in this “Styling” video (if you click the ‘play’ button, it says the video has been disabled, so you can click the box itself and get it or just go here).

First up, there’s Xena and Zena, conveniently from “San Bonadina,” and OMG, did he just compliment Janine’s “flossy white pumps”?! Nuh uh! He seriously did, you guys. Apparently this is what happened when one “tabled the label.” Oh…my.

The “fashion” in this video is so unfortunate that it’s wild to consider that it is not a joke. This stuff was HOT. And as much as I am totally coveting Mr. T’s amazing gold bib necklace, I’m glad that much of what’s currently trendy and eighties-inspired is actually quite modern and very wearable. To wit: Michelle Thomas’ recent Shopper column about the new neons.

I’m featured today in Lavanya Ramanathan’s Washington Post Style section feature, “Night Crawler.”
Other events on my personal to-do list: the New York City Ballet at the Kennedy Center (I missed Swan Lake, so sad) and Steve Aoki at Ibiza next Saturday.

New readers, welcome. ( : Check out the About section, scroll down through the posts (“keep looking” at the bottom of this page takes you to the next page) or click around the archives.

I love these photos, taken by an unknown photographer at a Dior show. Not sure what show, but aren’t they fabulous to look at? The hair! The eye makeup! The feathers! {hat tip to Holly Jackman}

Happy Friday. Everyone be sure to pick up this Sunday’s Washington Post and check out the Style section…hint!
