Is that a permed mullet, shoulder pads, and a Member's Only jacket?!?! - well this video may be a close second to last week's best pop song of the 80s. I think I like it because it's terribly horrible and surprisingly catchy. Tears for Fears is like the father of Danity Kane.

With that I say, Happy Monday! You can tell I have a case of the Mondays 'cause you're gettin' this in the afternoon. This morning was a bust for me. I had a red-eye flight and our pilot was definitely practicing for the 2007 Oshkosh air show. Amateur, no doubt. He was doing figure eights in the air and donuts on the runway. Therefore, I am ALL kinds of off today.

In the spirit of (and my personal campaign for) bringing back the 80s, I thought about the other multimedia elements that make it the best decade ever. The music videos were ingenious - we've already established that. But you know what else? - those darn TV shows that found a way to turn a regular episode into an extended music video. Enter Miami Vice circa 1984. Oh Philip Michael Thomas - why didn't you win that Golden Globe you were nominated for in 1986? Some things just aren't fair. Much like your triad of first names and your love for pastel business suits, but I digress. But real talk, I think it's amazing how in a matter of one episode, these guys can fight crime, win, lose, and win the girl again, blow-up a 1972 Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS/4, and maintain their mysterious sexy while wearing white linens & pastels... white linens & pastels! Truly the archetype of a good man.


So here's my advice to you, my friends: Ladies - if you're trying to snag that perfect man, make sure he's wearing some sort of Easter color and no socks. Gentlemen - if you'd like to get the girl, just keep the gheri curl activator activated and throw your tie to the wind....it's 100 percent cotton undershirts and blazers with shoulder pads that'll get our attention.

Words of wisdom, words of wisdom.

Have a great week!
