80s on Shine

A Brief History of Cyndi Lauper’s Hair

nospam@example.com ()

Seeing as how Cyndi Lauper has always been something of a “free spirit” when it comes to thinking up new, buzz-worthy hairstyles, we weren’t too surprised to see the singer switch it up with a full head of platinum curls at the Mandela Day Celebration Concert at Radio City Music Hall this…

The Scrunchie: It's BAAACCKK....

nospam@example.com ()

Dear readers, I've been holding out on you. I've had pertinent style information for months now, but I have not wanted to share. At first I thought it would just go away--I was protecting you from unnecessary pain. But now the situation has grown grave, and it's time to let the bad '80s hair accessory out of the bag: Ladies, the scrunchie is back.

And it is back in a big way. I fear for us all. See the evidence, after the jump.

The 'Brat Pack' ....those were the days

Remember the brat pack? Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald and Alley Sheedy. I watched Weird Science last night and it got me...

Expose is reuniting... but we’d rather see another '80s act take the stage

nospam@example.com ()

Hey everybody, Expose is back together! You know, Expose… the girl group from 20 years ago? It’s not that we don’t remember their hits, “Point of No Return,” “Come Go with Me,” “Seasons Change” and “I’ll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me (well, after watching a few videos on...

Modernizing the 80s with Jenna Wolfe on the Today Show

The 80s are back! Click on the image to watch a segment I taped with Today Show correspondent Jenna Wolfe; 80s fashion and make-up are actually making a comeback, but there's a way to make the trends feel 0-8, instead of 8-0. I loved shooting with Jenna - she was probably one of the most fun on-air personalities I've ever worked with.

The first good move Madonna has made in a long time

It’s not that we don’t like Madonna—sure, we’ll even admit to humming along to her crappy single, "4 Minutes," whenever that shampoo commercial comes on. It’s just… unlike Madge, who often publicly renounces her previous incarnations, we miss the Madonna of yesteryear. So sue us. That said, we couldn’t be more excited at the glimpse of the set list for her upcoming tour: "Heartbeat," "Everybody," "Borderline," "Open Your Heart," "Vogue," "Who’s That Girl," "La Isla Bonita," "Dress You Up," "Holiday"… holy cow.

Animated 80s icons get a makeover—and we don’t like it!

nospam@example.com ()

Call us nostalgia obsessed, but we’ve never been a fan of change. American Greetings has given 80s cartoon icon, Strawberry Shortcake a “fruit-forward” makeover for the big and small screens, that none of us can get over. Sure, it’s cool that they’re making her appeal to a younger generation, but swapping her curls and pink calico cat, Custard, for a flat iron and cell phone? This is not the sugary sweet girl we know and love. Strawberryland has received a healthy make over as well.

The Best in Celebrity Blogs: John Mayer Edition

In an effort to make the world a better place, singer/Jennifer Aniston’s new boytoy, John Mayer is really stretching his limits to doing something groundbreaking: rock an 80s haircut. No, seriously. This is what he’s priding himself on these days. Read the blog entry that was sure to make nine-years-his-senior Jen (she might remember the 80s, but Mayer was only eight in 1985) audibly groan:
