Wah, I heard that the new look in fashion is going to be the '80!!!!
They've done the 60's-70's hippy revival, and now it's the '80. It must have been the worst period in fashion history ever:puke
Well the op shops are full of those very ugly puffy sleeved taffetta dresses for the girls
Oh, and the hairstyles, so sad
:o馃檨:jesus

Oh dude, please.... Tell me the Mullholland Look is'nt "classic" or "retro" already :-o
There were some mad things about the 80's but there were also some shockers that should be forgotten.

I wore red leg warmers and desert boots and big belts...... n crosses around my neck...I listerned to Prince and was still into adam and the ants I think...Didnt like madonnas music but she had a cool dress sence those days in my opinion.
I was a teen in the 80s and I agree it was a pathetic era for fashion and hair dos

Ah the 80's great era for Aussie pub rock
Midnight oil, the Radiators and Aussie Crawl. Not to mention the "A" Team, BJ and the bear and the Dukes of Hazard mmmm Daisy. Gonna have to dig out my thin leather tie.....Hang on I'm wearing it....馃榾
jenz58 路
Remeber the leg warmers now. Worn over the top of stretch leggings and with long sloppy jumpers馃檨
Well, maybe not as bad a look as some of the dresses that were around
Think Pauline Hanson is still into the 80's fashion. Well maybe not now, she'd have prison issue

Winkle pickers and stovepipes!

Looks like im gonna have to photoshop it.
Skewy you dont know Wawanee man where have you been.Stray cats where rockin in the 80s.
amazer 路
the 80's were cool. back then I'd get asked for ID.
the clothes I wore (no matter what day what temperature) flanno shirt, denim jacket with ac/dc patch, jeans and ug boots. On sundays I would wear the footy jumper instead of the flanno, and if it was real cold would wear the trench coat over the top. Got very hard to walk when it was raining and that thing got wet!
The hair was longish at the back but I swear it was only a mullet cos when the rest of it got longish it curled up like a girly bob.
amazer 路
Coldale beach circa 1987.
The uggies must have been in the wash this day. Or maybe it was a phobia about sand. 2 litres of vodka and orange made for a good night.
Humpty: you will recognise my partner in crime maybe? Let me tell you that when the sun came up the next morning we were the only 2 still around 馃檪 (too drunk to walk away maybe ???)

Chris is that you??? My you look young:o Guess you were馃榾
That's not a bad 80's look but.
p.s. How come the 80's revival didn't happen when 'Wedding Singer' came out?
Op shops have heaps of 80's gear if anyone is after it:thumb

I hated Torana tail lights on Beetles back in the 80s and I still hate them...
I liked the 80s look of Your 1302S Beetle Steve ...
What exactly is the Mulholland look ?????
I have never heard of it.... but then I live in Scone... We nearly got traffic lights this year... We got 50 kmh limits in town instead... much better than traffic lights I tell Ya... We'll probably never get public transport though....
I really love the Pauline Hanson look!!!

OMG *giggles* Nice look Chris 馃檪
I had thigh high hot pink legwarmers... I remember wearing them with fluoro green socks and bubblegum jeans :O
Fortunately I don't think there is any photographic evidence. 馃榾 If there was I certainly wouldn't be publicising it 馃槈

Thats one of my least embarrassing ones. Why do you think I picked the one taken in the dark! I dont have much shame really. Thats how I was. Up yours to anyone who dont like it :P
That (VW) look is what the ricer look is today. The guys that have them think they're shit hot, but they will really cringe when they look in the album in 10 years time. I know I cringe at some of things I have taken photos of before.
Jay_1965vw 路
*grin* no shame huh. lol
Prolly cos it doesn't even look like you either *giggles* I can see why they were asking you for ID.
jenz58 路
Sorry skewy but that is so fuggly:jesus
Poor beetle doesn't know what it's meant to be:cry
helbus 路
I didn't have any cars like that in the 80's, but I certainly looked the part myself.
I won't post a pic on the grounds I may incriminate myself. 馃榾
amazer 路
Theres so many photos that I took in my early days of VWness, circa 1988, that I wouldnt take photos of now. I wont talk about most of them because I know I will be sure to offend someone on each count. I dont think anyone here has a Merc front on their car though do they?
amazer 路
more mullet LOL
SKEWtYpe3 路
Jay, the beetle with the sculpted headliner, was it a red one with scare lights all 'round ?
if so i know it and its got alot of time and effort in it but its FUGLY !
jenz58 路
eek, Chris burn those pics of the mullets:jesus LOL
amazer 路
naaah. the one on the right is the very first VW event I ever went to. It was a drag meet down in Canberra.
the one on the left is the first VW club christmas party.... all memorabilia.
Jay_1965vw 路
Awwwww, in't he cute LMAO
amazer 路
got the curl happening at canberra too. :P
I'm pretty sure that dave rogers, president of club vw illawarra at that time had mulholland rear guards, but it was in my infancy of VW so I could be wrong. He didnt have the ugly square lights up front though. (just to get things back on topic)
jenz58 路
ok never was aware there was a Mullhalandwatsit look to VW's
I'm learning every day:jesus
SKEWtYpe3 路
ya didnt miss much Jen !
jenz58 路
Nah, doesn't look like it馃槈:jesus

Hey Skewy - you got it.
Scared the HELL outta me.... *shrugs* someone loves it I'm sure.
tracash242 路
sounds like a coffee shop in amsterdam
amazer 路
Sigh. you new people have so much to learn :P
Its a fiberglass kit. the rear guards extended onto the rear 1/4, and they had horrible square lights. Never saw too many back then, I guess they have all gone to graveyards now. Not a bad thing at all.

Here's a true story. The keyboard player in wah wah nee is a mate of mine and he came out of a gig recently with his 2 keyboards and amp etc... A guy in a car stopped and yelled out "aren't you that guy from wah wah nee?"
Paul replied, "Do you think that a guy who wrote all those GREAT HITS would be carrying his own gear?"
The guy in the car said, "yeah, I suppose you're right..." and drove off.
