Flash back of the 80's

I can't believe my eyes....the way Allan is starting to dress is a complete Flash-back of the 80's.

Purple hair and NEON GREEN earings!


Aiden & Cody love his hair!....They want to be just like Allan.They even try to put earings in their ears. In a million years I think to myself.But,in all reality when theyr'e teenagers its probably just going to get worse! I'm just PRAYING that by then we will be in a more conservative state as far as fashion and presenting ones self-image go's.






Shadd's sense of Style has always been decent,from as far back as I can remember (middle school to now). Now look he's borrowing his sons clothes??? aaawwwhhh (JUST KIDDING)!

Few new wave groups were as popular as Culture Club. During the early '80s, the group racked up seven straight Top Ten hits in the U.K. and six Top Ten singles in the U.S. with their light, infectious pop-soul. Though their music was radio-ready, what brought the band stardom was Boy George, the group's charismatic, cross-dressing lead singer. George dressed in flamboyant dresses and wore heavy makeup, creating a disarmingly androgynous appearance that created a sensation on early MTV. George also had a biting wit and frequently came up with cutting quips that won Culture Club heavy media exposure in both America and Britain. Although closely aligned with the new romantics -- they were both inspired by Northern soul and fashion -- Culture Club had sharper pop sense than their peers and they consequently had a broader appeal. However, their time in the spotlight was brief. Not only could they not withstand the changing fashions of MTV, but the group was fraught with personal tensions, including Boy George's drug addiction. By 1986, the group had broken up, leaving behind several singles that rank as classics of the new wave era.
