Last Minute Whim

October 30, 2009 at 6:54 am | In fun & frolicking | 40 Comments

So I was going to dress up as an owl but time got the best of me and I wasn’t able to make my costume. Then at work some of us decided WEDNESDAY (two days notice, mind you) that we should all come to work as female singers from the 1980’s.

Guess who I picked?

Your only hint: Think short hair.

Emulating

The Real Thing

I probably didn’t need to practice her dance moves. But of course I did.

Pictures forthcoming.

Here you go! We’ve got a Debbie Gibson, a Madonna, a Cyndi Lauper* and an Olivia Newton-John.

*Cyndia Lauper totally called in sick. That beyotch.

You rocked the 80’s makeup. Did you already have that fabulous shirt in the closet? And are you wearing leggings?

You look like someone just told you you had to eat a bug.

Just so y’all know it took me 50 tries to get that photo of me because it felt so unnatural to not smile. AND if you worked in my office you would be subjected to my Love is a Battlefield dance repeatedly.

Nice work! Too bad you guys don’t have a karaoke stage at work – you could do battle of the bands.

Wicked.

I read this in Google Reader. And before I scrolled down to see the ral person, I guessed Pat Benetar. You channel her well. Could you include some video of those dance moves, please?!?

Love that shirt is kind of reminiscent of Hit Me with your Best shot.

Comment by Nat — October 30, 2009 #
That stripey shirt that is making my boobs look entirely too shiny and ginormous? Is actually a leotard. OH YEAH.

Comment by Sizzle — October 30, 2009 #
Love it! It’s funny, the outfits don’t look too ridiculous since the 80s are coming back.

Comment by kilax — October 30, 2009 #
Oh god do I wish I worked with your crew.

But Olivia is a bitch wearing that get up with her cute little “Let’s get physical” figure.

Just saying.

Next year I say you go as a Go-Go’s era Belinda Carlisle, green hair and all.
