boomtownrat
1. Duran Duran or Culture Club? Duran Duran. Loved John Taylor!
2. "We Are The World" or "Do They Know It's Christmas"? "Do They Know It's Christmas". Obviously, it was the cooler of the two.
3. Adam Ant or Bow Wow Wow? Both, but Adam Ant was cooler by far. I understand he's having a rough time as of late...
4. New Romantic or New Wave? New Wave.
5. Hair Bands or Heavy Metal? Both, but most of my friends were totally into hair bands and had Big! Hair! too! Er, so did I, but it was new wave geometric styled big, not mall hair big.
6. Transformers or Go-Bots? Neither.
7. Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby or Cricket (talking girl doll)? All talking dolls are the work of Satan himself.
8. Fingerless lace gloves or bandana around the ankle? The gloves.
9. New Coke or Classic Coke? Classic Coke!!!!!!!
10. Simply Red or Crowded House? Crowded House.
11. Did you ever do "The Rock"? Um, don't remember that one. Must be the all the brain damage from the hair spray.
12. Can you "Safety Dance"? Hell yes!
13. Would you consider yourself Darling Nikki or Dirty Diana? Probably closer to Darling Nikki if either...
14. Did you have plans to party in 1999? *shrugs* Never really thought about it, except to think that only the icky jocks and preps would be doing that, and that meant I didn't want anything to do with it...;)
15. Did you HEAR "1999" right after midnight, January 1, 2000? Thank the Goddess NO!!!!!!
16. Were you sick to death of that song by January 1, 2000? Very much so.
17. Did you identify more with Clare (Molly Ringwald) or Allison (Ally Sheedy)? Allison, but I so wanted to be Molly.
18. Were your teenage years more "Sixteen Candles" or "The Breakfast Club"? Breakfast Club.
19. What was your wildest Day Off, a la Ferris Bueller? I was too paranoid of getting busted to skip high school, and I usually slept when I ditched college classes.
20. "All Night Long" or "Caribbean Queen"? "All Night Long", but only because it always annoyed me that Billy Ocean sounded like he was singing "Cari-byou-an" instead of "Caribbean". (bows in worship ofboomtownrat for such a brilliant answer)
21. What would you have done differently to save Julian ("Less Than Zero")? Sent him to a nasty military academy? I dunno, I don't think anything or anyone could've saved him.
22. Mogwai or Gremlins? I thought they were each cool for their own reasons.
23. Cyndi (fully poseable doll) or Jem? Fuck 'em both, I'll take the Misfits (the bad girl band)
24. Madonna or Cyndi Lauper? I always liked Cyndi because "she was so unusual", but when she got really into the professional wrestling thing, it left me cold! Madonna was okay, but way too poppy for me back then.
25. Corey Feldman or Corey Haim? Corey Haim, because he never tried to be a Michael Jackson impersonator. (again, I bow in worship toboomtownrat for such a brilliant answer.
26. Atari, Intellivision, or Coleco? Atari.
27. K-Tel or Ronco? K-Tel, but that Mr. Microphone was really cool, too!
28. Mullet or Mohawk? Mohawk (don't tell Doug).
29. Poison or Skid Row? Both, but I dare admit that I like Poison just a little better.
30. Ratt or Brittney Fox? Neither.
31. Rick Springfield or Corey Hart? RICK!!!!!!!!!! God, he's STILL hot, dammit!
32. The Police or Sting solo? The Police.
33. Color of favorite legwarmers? navy blue, because they fit the best, but I also had charcoal gray and dusty purple.
34. Color of favorite big-ass 80s hairbow clip? I had short, geometrically styled hair that was not conducive to hair accessories.
35. How many times did you shoplift at Claire's Boutique? B'ah, the stuff there was LAME! 'Sides, I was too chicken to shoplift.
36. "Valley Girl" or "Punk Rock Girl"? "Punk Rock Girl"
37. If you could go back to the 80s knowing all you know now, would you? Perhaps. My perspective on "going back in time" changes regularly.
