Eighties-Fifties

 

In the 80's we loved the 50's.  Do you remember that?  There was this very specific polished look about the 50's, in the 80's.  All the colors were super bright
pinks and turquoises, black and white checks.  All the guys had pompadours, leather jackets and sunglasses, and all the girls wore high pony tails, saddle shoes and poodle skirts.

 I refer to this as the eighties fifties, and this is a great example of it.  The toothpaste guys are cool with their 50s "hair" and sunglasses.

I suspect that it really started in the 70's with shows like Happy Days, and Movies like Grease.  They created this super stylized version of the 50's for us to enjoy.

The eighties really hit with movies like Stand By Me, Back to the Future, Peggy Sue Got Married and Dirty Dancing.
