Eighties Blog – 1980s Retro Movies Fashion Music

You can still see lots of the 70s in this 1980 Xanadu movie clip featuring an extended remix of the theme song by ELO sung by sexy aussie Olivia “Neutron Bomb” John. Probably safe to say this is the top roller-skating musical of the decade. It’s hard to tell if they were camping it up on purpose or not but it’s wildly over the top with its roller skating circus performers, tap dancers and cowboys. Looks like Paris Hilton has been taking some fashion tips from Olivia but is far from being as hot.

Star Wars ruled the eighties and this stylish shirt takes us back to the sequel, my personal favorite of the series, The Empire Strikes back and it’s amazing Hoth snow planet battle. I like this orange design on a brown or navy shirt and other colors are also available for men, women and kids.
