I am one of the few people that escaped the 80s unscathed by big bangs and crispy perms. It was easy really. I was a gypsy boho queen! My style icons were Jami Gertz in the Lost Boys and Lisa Bonet in anything. I loved Edie Brickel and the New Bohemians and attended the opening night of The Doors movie like I was going to see Jim Morrison live. (That might just be the result of deprivation brought on by a lame Corpus scene). I crushed on River Phoenix because what boho girl could resist, and Ian Astbury from The Cult...well...I'll keep that private. The fact is, all of these things are still awesome! I don't look back at those teen years in shame (well, maybe the glasses/braces combo), but with pride. Here is my tribute to my 80s icons.
