Oh my goodness, this sounds amazing!! 💃🏻 ✨ (and now I’ve got you’re unbelievable on a loop in my head!). Only last night, I was telling my daughter how I remembered dancing and singing/yelling along to Prince 1999 at her London art college student uni bar when it seemed years away!!) Also, the Meg & Billy cliffhanger!! I had not heard about the Super Bowl speculation! Cannot!!!! 🗽❤️🥰

I’ve had that song in my head for a week now. I’m picturing this art college uni bar scenario and you’re such a cool mum!! (Also same for 1999!)

Listen, “Unbelievable” was a great song!! And I will be disappointed if the Harry and Sally thing is a commercial but also I’ll probably watch it 97 times

I HATE it when different eras get mixed and branded "the 80s"! We did not wear Hawaiian shirts with suits (we wore t-shirts!). The suit jackets were baggy, or they were cropped jackets with high-waisted pleated pants (later 80s), which is only slightly Zoot-suit-y. Also, I'd like to see Julia rocking a tail in her hair (I had two tails! that curled around my neck - thought I was hot shit, ha ha).

I love this post! Thank you, Cheryl! Happy Vacation, Fawnia!

100%! Maybe it was an AI caption with misinterpretations of everything. Julia would look great with that hair though! Or like a shaggy mullet. And thank you but sadly, I’m back in the cold 😩

Eh, more likely just a conflation of a bunch of things and then slapping an 80s label on it (also probably AI generated). Aw, stay warm, Fawnia.💕

I 1000% agree with you that someone needs to do a tail and Julia really is the perfect person for this. (Unrelated, I was trying to decide if her hair and Renee Zellweger’s on the cover of British Vogue are heading in a Princess Di direction. Hm.) Anyway thank you for agreeing that the caption makes zero sense

I never liked Di’s hair but that seems like it’s due. I was always a big fan of feathered hair!

Love the idea of clubbing for olds. Last summer I saw the Drive-By Truckers in concert. There was no opening act, they went on right at 8:00 and wrapped up about 10:15 or so. That's a band who knows their GenX audience values a good nights sleep.

Yeah I was so annoyed at Madonna last year for her antics. Why are you showing up 3 hours late????
