Who Did You Think was Cool Back Then?

[kkat55]

Who did you think was cool back in the 80's (or when you were a teenager/early 20's)?

I used to think Stefanie Powers was so gorgeous! I loved her hair!! I also loved to watch "Hart to Hart" because their marriage seemed so romantic!!

So, what were your favs back then? What look did you like?

Donny Osmond and David Cassidy of course.

Stephanie Powers was a HOTTIE.

David Cassidy for sure, for sure, but that was the 70's and I wasn't in my 20's then (and neither were you Wanna). From the 80's.....I can't think that far back. I didn't watch much t.v. in those days. I loved all the hair though. Duran Duran and Flock of Seagulls. Looking back I guess my hair was kinda big and I mastered that heavily made up eye look that was in. Lots of mauve. And big shoulder pads. I was much more fashionable in those days, I guess. Although I still kinda like big hair....

Was there anyone's hair style you wanted to try? (I had mine layered like Stefanie Powers.)

I know what you mean...the higher the hair, the narrower your face looks...mine is round to begin with, so I love a little height to make it look slimmer.

I just don't look good with flat hair...

Cindy Lauper and Pat Benetar. I thought their hair was dabomb!! That red checkerboard on the side of Cindy's head gave me fantasies of terrorizing my mother in a whole new way.

I never was brave enough to try it. But then I was smart enough to be scared of my mom. LOL

Let's see, in the 80's I loved Michael Jackson (man, it's kind of embarassing to admit that now), and a latin boy band named Menudo (anyone else remember Menudo Mania?)

Re: Who Did You Think was Cool Back Then?

The lead singer from Mister Mister was pretty cool.

For the longest time, I had a crush on Patty Smyth, from the group "Scandal".
Benatar was off the hook!
