Fashion-wise, the '80s are a lot like the '50s.  Both feature clean lines, candy colors, and a bent toward excess and fantasy.  Which are, of course, all things that I love, as shown by this Grease-meets-Saved by the Bell aesthetic.  

Speaking of which, there are few places more fabulously '50s than Lindy Hops.  Last week, the husband and I made our first trip back since the pandemic, so I wanted to take some pics.  Still, I felt a little silly, posing among the people purely there for the ice cream.  But the husband said, "You have to own it," which helped me to relax.  And I'm glad I did because nerves come and go, but photos are forever.        

Now if only I could find a burger joint like The Max and relax all over again in leg warmers.
