Back to the ‘80s
http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=goodLife1_aug25_2008
The Eighties is perhaps the only decade that still has a lingering influence in the music and fashion of today’s generation. Inspired by artists like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Boy George, and the movie Flashdance, and characterized by extreme, fearless statements, the extravagant style epitomizes the flamboyance of the era and defined a generation preoccupied with excess. Shoulder pads, mini-skirts, leg warmers and headbands were the look du jour. Leather pants, fingerless gloves and the Thriller look were considered trendy. Hair styles were big and eccentric and frizzy, bangs and mullet style became popular. Aquanet is the top must-have, along with Ray-bans, shoulder length earrings and long string of beads.
Olympic Games get comical treatment

And the Olympic Games in Beijing, China, were not ignored from the stage, on a line-up that added the magic of Cowen and the dance moves of Granny and Jamaica's Michael Jackson to the jokes and jibes of Prince Edwards, Leighton 'Fullswing' Smith, Urkel, Rohan Gunter and host Maas Jasper.

Glenn Douglas Packard went from cruising the tiny streets of Clare to cruising the streets of New York City, Hollywood, and most recently, Miami.
The co-star on the VH1 reality show "Brooke Knows Best" has been dubbed by The New York Times a "dancing entrepreneur" and was even honored with an Emmy Nomination for his work on Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary Celebration at Madison Square Garden.

Songs were everywhere. They ranged from the theme song from “Laverne and Shirley” to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller to The Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up.” On the stage, Ike Bowers sang oldies.

Madonna has received plenty of attention this month for, among other things, turning 50. * Yet she hardly stands alone among celebrities hitting the half-century mark this year. * She isn't even the only one this month: On Friday, Michael Jackson will celebrate 50 action-packed years. * See whether you know who else has turned 50 this year, who is younger and who is beyond "over the hill."[FONT="][/FONT]
