Those 80s Sluts were Born in the 80s

You know…heading out last night, I was loathe to admit to my friends that I was on my way to check out 80’s night at the Cat Club. After running into about seven people I knew in line, and offering each of them some feeble explanation for my presence about how a co-worker had invited me and I hadn’t seen her in a long time and….blah blah blah…we entered ye olde Cat Club.

To my great surprise, this club had somethin’ going on. The music was the usual 80s fare which I can barely name since I’m so damn culturally illiterate, but there was definitely some Duran Duran and some Tears for Fears in the mix. But what made the vibe was just the all-out levels that people went to with the garb. You get your garden variety dudes in polo shirts, khakis, and penny loafers, as well as your cindi-lauper-my-hair-is-seven-colors type chicks. And then there are the random gems, like the chick with the vintage ¾ sleeve baseball shirt from the Police Synchronicity tour and those guys rockin’ the wife beater and tie look. And what the fuck is that about? I was alive in the 80s and I don’t remember no wife beater/tie combo. But then again…maybe I wasn’t paying attention.

Hang on though…remind me one more time what makes a good party? Oh yeah….HOT CHICKS! Right. The capper here was that all of those generically slutty-looking chicks with their teased hair, tight jeans, 4-inch wide belts, and off-one-shoulder blouses…they never partied in the 80s. They were BORN in the 80s. Yes indeed, we like ‘em young, and we like to see them rockin’ the fuck out on the dance floor. Shamelessness…yes. 80s night at the cat club? Sure…
