Or is it 1987…
It is true. I loved Whitney Houston and in 1987 I wanted to BE her. For my 16th birthday, 10 of my friends took me to her concert. It was like so awesome. Seriously, I cried. She was amazing. I was so sad to hear of her tragic death last week.
And yes, this me and my hair, and what I wore to her concert.
As for last week, it looked a bit more like this:
Left: Cozy Hoodie (Cabi), Striped tank (BJ’s), Jeans (Gap)
Center: Black t-shirt (Old Navy) Jeans – Edie Bauer
Right: Grey sweater (H&M), Plum Ruffle Shirt (Ann Taylor Loft), Black pants (Ann Taylor Loft)

So what was your favorite Whitney song? And how big was your hair in 1987?
{linking up with Lindsey today}
Oh my word, Stacey! When I saw your hair I almost fell over…my hair was just as big as yours, if not bigger! It was so fun to see that picture of you! And I loved whitney houston too! I loved all of her music and thought she was beautiful. I actually blogged about her yesterday, off you’re interested: http://pkshouse.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/whitney-houston-and-jesus/
I enjoy your blog and I look forward to WIWW!
God bless your day!
Jumping over right now to read yours! So glad to have friends who ‘get’ me 🙂
Hey Stacey, I forgot to say something in my earlier comment regarding the big hair…I used more hairspray than should ever be allowed in order to support my big hair back then, and now I flat iron my hair to make it as smooth as possible! How funny is that? How times change!
Patty’s comment about the excessive use of hairspray to get the big hair in the 80s and now using the flat iron to make it straght these days is right on the money. I remember how every inch of the bathroom was covered in a layer of hairspray and how my mom would have to scrub everything daily! lol!
Yes, I had my share of big hair, too. Oh those perms kept my hair so big my waist looked tiny. I wonder if that style will ever come back in!
Love love love! Such an 80s look!
My fave song was I Wanna Dance with Somebody – first tape I ever owned for myself!
I was just singing that one!
Not a Whitney Houston fan – sorry, wasn’t surprised by her death. But loving your big hair
(I was 10 in ’87 and missed the big hair phase).
10 in 87…..you just made me feel so old! 🙂
This is perfection! Loved Whitney and so sad to see such a talented, beautiful woman end up like she did.
I also am cracking up at the fact that we who sported the HUGE hair now flat iron our hair. Oh the irony!!
i love this my brave brave friend!! loved reading all these comments too! yes, the oodles and oodles of hairspray! my sister and i had perfected the “blowdry the sides straight out while hairspraying/locking our wings into place” look!
80’s hair! I knew we were kindred:))) We lived for and with hair spray ~ and lots of it!
The newer shots, stunning! You’re a beautiful friend, inside and out.
