Sharp looking pic Wren. I know what you mean about a hell of a decade. How much we can excuse with the "it was the 80s" frame.

Oh my Wren you had the look goin on ! Love it! the Mickey Mouse shirt TeeHEE!!!

That shot is all kinds of beautiful. You look very alive
and brimming with energy. Just think ... maybe all that energy is still there inside us, Wren Dancer.

I would kill for that kind of curl! And love the red, red lips.

Great picture and post, Wren Dancer. The best thing to be said about the 80s is that we made it through alive:)

Beauty pic there, girl! I love the red lips too. You look insouciant!

Fabulous photos, I had the 80's curly too. Sadly I didn't have glasses yet so I didn't get to enjoy frames large enough to look cool and see through.

Wren, yeah -- your pic is revealing -- not only of a truly hot you ...
but there's obviously no sprinkler system in operation on this warm night. This is your gold mine: you can write of the 80's. What a time, such a blast. We still had to churn away on the phone with the one you wanted -- so damn good that Skype was not yet here. Enjoyed the piece. Give me the 80's, baby ...

The best! Right on! R

The 80s for me were very intense and ultimately traumatic. The music is still inside me and I wrote a lot of songs early in that decade. I wish I had had some premonition regarding the pitfalls. Perhaps I should have seen your psychic!

Oh this is just too good and wonderful. Thanks for sharing this...

Way cool, Wren.

No way!

Way!

Boy George, the Cars, Van Halen, Pat Benatar, Modern English, Toto, Billy Joel and so many others. The hair always amazed me. Mine's thin, straight and extremely fine, so it just sort of hangs there. No way could I ever had it curl, puffed or whatever else those guys in Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, the Scorpions or Judas Priest did to make their hair so BIG!

Love that photo. I agree, Insouciant is exactly the word I would use. In a daring, sort of playful way. Mickey Mouse shirt? Totally working.

The 80's. The time of my changing from a young man or old boy, into just a man, a guy, a dude and people started to call me Mr. That was the weirdest part.

If I could travel time, though, I think I'd skip the 80s (except to buy stock in IBM, Microsoft and BP in my name) and start around the early 50's working my way through every concert I could with all my favorite singers/bands. And I'd bring some good earplugs to keep from damaging my hearing.

thanks for the virtual "snapshot" along with a photo.

I had those glasses. *wanders off to pick through photos*

It was a hell of a decade. Personally, I'm glad it's over. Though some of the music was interesting. Nice story and photo.

laugh, isn't it funny how we crave what is different? You totally had my 'perfect hair' and skin tone.

I was pretty young in 80's just remember it has zero style! no music and seems like nothing of interest happened lol Your hair is perfect 80's and I'm going to guess you had padded shoulders.

What a cutie were you!!!! =-}

Aw, the eighties. I permed my hair to get your look! And I too turned 30 in the 80s and was excited my friends got me a Trivial Pursuit game!!!! Also, the era of working the worst jobs ever. But the music was great. Squeeze, The Cure, Violent Femmes, The Go Gos, Psychedelic Furs, the Cars, etc. etc.
