Today we have Traci, along with the dynamic duo of Staci and Darci. This is starting to sound like a bad 80’s movie about cheerleaders. Cheerleaders who are stalked by some psycho when they go to Spirit Camp at a desolate lake. Anyway… on to the pics!

First up, Traci:

That hair is awesome in the truest sense of the word. It took a lot of Aqua Net to get that look: you had to blow-dry right after you sprayed or it wouldn’t work. Nevermind how we know that. Traci, was the hole in the ozone layer directly over your house? Inquiring minds want to know!

Oh, Staci and Darci you naughty minxes:

If this picture was set to music, it would be Motley Crue’s “Girls, Girls, Girls.” You girls were getting ready to go down to the Sunset Strip and meet some long-haired metal dudes, weren’t you? That top on the left says it all.

Thank you ladies for sharing your 80’s trauma. Everybody else: WE WANT MORE! Don’t be shy, send in the pics to onceuponawin+80spics@gmail.com!

We have a couple of courageous ladies this time around, Kelly C. and Debbie L. Let’s start with Miss Kelly:

Girlfriend, you are a vision in acid wash and AquaNet! But what we all really want to know is, do you know the guy in the background checking you out? Because he is clearly hypnotized by your….uh…..anatomy.

Next up is Debbie (What an awesome flashback name):

Not everyone can rock a Mohawk, but Debbie is! Take note, kids, the Fauxhawk may be in right now, but this is how it’s done. And that shirt is totally of its time with the geometric shapes and loud colors. Love it!

Thank you Kelly and Debbie for sending in your photos. To everyone else: WE WANT MORE! Don’t be shy, send in the pics to onceuponawin+80spics@gmail.com!

My favorite aspect of the Walkman was the ability it gave me to tune out my cousins on endless road trips with the family (“Stop touching me! No, you stop! Mooooooooom!”). Sanity was preserved. Sort of. It was like the Bose Noise Canceling Headphone of its day. Just crank. Up. The. Volume. (And risk long-term hearing damage.)

Here’s a very old Walkman commercial that is so 80’s it hurts. The woman is wearing aerobics gear, legwarmers, and has the perfect 80’s short feathered hairdo. I could never get mine to do that.

And is that a GIANT piece of electronic equipment hanging from her scarf belt or what?

This look totally pilots the Fashion Failboat, not unlike

this guy

but I’ll admit that for a brief period in the late 80’s, I tight rolled my jeans (hangs head in shame). Hey, it was the 80’s! I think I’ll use that as an answer for every annoying/embarrassing question my little nephews ask me from now on. Them, with my yearbook: “Why do you look homeless in this picture?” Me: “Hey, it was the 80’s!” OK, lame excuse, and lamer fashion choice.

Does the FAIL of this outfit stop some celebrities from trying valiantly to resurrect it? Nooooo.

I’m looking at you:

Oy vey. Tight rolled jeans with sandal heels, no less. SANDAL HEELS. I can’t decide which is worse. Help me out in the poll:
