I Can Haz Cuervo?

And you're looking for a glossy new book to grace your coffee table... then check out Taschen's new American Ads of the 80s book... its pretty kickass, and I found myself totally mesmerized by the scads of acid wash jeans, heavily padded shoulders, hair metal glam rockers, and mullet wearing celebs that grace its pages...

Yes... Benatar does rock... am glad they got that sorted out

And apparently, they also have books for other decades as well, like the 60s:

Astronaut Baby Approvez of Ur Ride

and 70s:

Now that's Frolicious!

I will have to hunt those down as well, because if they are like the 80s book, the sample ads on the website don't even begin to scratch the surface!

i rummaged through an abandoned liquor store back in 86' (did a lot of abandoned building scrounging), and found a cardboard cut-out promotional poster for Schlitz....the store was in a predominantly black community, so the add was this debonair brother and his girl, both sportin' some fly seventies fro's and sippin' the gold...not the Bull, which is malt liquor and just as nasty as Schlitz....

Anyhow, damn Raven, you remind me of all the gals that are so hard to find, because I'm not hangin' out at college anymore....all the chicks my age are either un-hip, tonnes-hips, or all hithced an shit......

What's a 40-something who want's a youngster as hip as the old man to'do??!!

Oh that's right.....nevrmind, good ol' Canniba S. Sativa!!

the 80's style has been resurrected in a slightly more contemporary form. I love the 80's and the excess it stood for. Moderation is for the weak! Now cut up that blow, I'm getting anxious.

My Swatch got all scratched up after a couple of years. The plastic face didn't do too well with hard wear and tear. I've got some photos of big hair dos I'll have to post here, when I find them.
