Back by popular -- or somebody's, but certainly not The Driver's -- demand, 80s fashion is like, so totally re-entering the mainstream.
Gag me.
Weren't we making fun of this decade, like, fifteen minutes after it ended? Isn't it the single biggest punchline in our cultural repertoire? And now we're expected to live it? And wear it? Again?
Grody.
Exhibit A: You Don't Mess With the Zohan
This is a funny movie. That is, if you like comedies set in the present featuring wardrobes from 25 years ago. The only things the costume designer left out were the Members Only jackets.
Exhibit B: Forever XXI
Soon to be renamed "Forever MCMLXXXIV." When that happens, it will be hilarious -- because the annoying adolescent employees already have to answer the phone with a disinterested, "Hello, Ex-Ex-Eye." Now, it will be, "Thank you for calling M-C-M-L-X-X-X-I-V." Mrs. Driver actually bought some earrings in here once. They were five bucks. The Driver supports that. But they also didn't look like they could be worn by Cyndi Lauper.
Exhibit C: Patrick Nagel
Look out, Mrs. Driver. The Driver can now dust off his framed print from 1985. He knew it would be worth something someday.

You forgot to mention jelly sandals.
So help me, I'm not a fan of 80's clothing either.
Allow me to share a fshion rule I try to live by:
If you wore it the first time around ie, leg warmers, you are too old to wear it during the come back.
