I have but two comments:
1) Why on earth would anyone resurrect products from a decade associated with bad hair and Sally Hansen upper lip bleach? I am afraid that the use of any products from the 80s would instantly result in me looking like this:
2) The sales associate asked me which product from the resurrected line was my favourite. Let me point out that I am 25, and therefore, in the 80s my age ranged from zero to five years, and I did not use "products". The associate, however, was not a day over 20, and perhaps assumed that I was waaaaayyyy older.
Quite frankly, this line of products repulses me and is giving me horrible flashbacks to my early childhood. I predict that this marketing campaign will fail horribly. However, it may be that there are people who loved the 80s, and have just been depressed for 20 years since their favourite products were discontinued, and who will be very happy now. How does thinking about the 80s make you feel?
The first half of the '80's was great for me since I was in college and livin' large. '86 thru '88 stank until I moved away from my crazy family.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the 80's!!!!! Big hair, purple eye shadow....those were the days. I too was far too young to take advantage of the fashion and makeup/hair trends but wish that someday the just for 1 week the entire world would go back to a time where woman's cheek bones were exaggerated to the extreme, and hair was excessively teased.
ReplyDeleteHaha, there is something to be said about the joys of massive hair and vibrant eye shadow!
ReplyDeleteBut Dr. M and Vanora, how do you feel about using products from the 80s?
Hey! That IS my current hairstyle, but just with a bit more hairspray -- and my hair is jet black. I never really thought about what the 80s look like to someone what didn't go through it. I apologize for our generation.
