    when teasing hair it works best to wash it and while its still wet apply some texturizing cream. and then blow dry upside down. (keep in mind you want it messy!!!!) it helps ALOT to spray it with aquanet or your choice of hairspray before teasing it.... and then you tease it and spray it again.... (if your hair still moves when you headbang your not using enough hairspray.)((it should all move in one giant piece if it does....)) :]

    For shoes, wear those old, ratty basketball sneakers you have in your closet. Pull out the tongue and make it clearly visible. Wear VERY faded, slim denim pants with holes. Shirts with bands names on them that are 50 times too big work well, too. Or am I getting into 80's Man? I might be...Also, cheesy, way-too-big vests are good.

    An 80's costume must have bold colors! The 80's just wouldn't be the 80's without those hideous colours. For example, wear bold and opposite colors like black and white, orange and green, or pink and yellow! It sounds nasty, but it looks fabulous when you're all dressed up! Also wear big hair, thick-rimmed sunglasses, lycra leggings with leg warmers, and steel toes. Trust me, you'll look great!

    You can never have too much Aqua Net or teasing in your huge '80s 'do. Find a sturdy comb and rat your hair until it's the size of the Sear's Tower. And don't forget to chew some gum - really loudly.
