\"Later<\/a>Was it the 1980’s itself changing or where we just growing up? The women’s fashion, ever evolving, ever changing, started to become somewhat more mature. <\/em>The hair was still pretty large but had come down a few notches since 1983. The glitz purple and green eye shadow faded into a more natural smolder. The bright red and pink lips became more subdued and the clothing shifted away from that shabby chic that was so popular just months ago to a more executive refinement.<\/p>\n

Again, i wonder was it the times or was it us. In 1986, I was 21. Was that enough? Did my social circle lead me away from the hot pink bubble gum of the high school girls and into the grown up club scene? I suspect that it was a combination of the two.\u00a0 I went to the bars half heartedly. Aric was a year younger than me so going to the clubs meant flying solo. I was OK with that but the real issue was that the bars were never as much fun as our house was. Even more so when we were having a party.<\/p>\n

Maybe it was a control issue. I had quite a bit of control at our parties. As Co-Host, I controlled the musical mix. I was free to interrupt any conversation.\u00a0 Most importantly, girls at the parties were so much more accessible and there were so many of them.<\/p>\n

Billy Idol recorded Mony, Mony <\/em>and it was extended into a club favorite. I have no idea how it all began but some how the crowd\u00a0 got inspired to add some lyrics to the song. After Billy Idol would say Mony, Mony<\/em> the dance floor would erupt with “Hey! Get Laid! Get F*cked!”.\u00a0 <\/em>It’s true.<\/p>\n
