Yes... Indeed.

Remember about 90% of it, plus some more.

Like Kung Fu Theater, When Prince was actually "sexy", Cowboy boots with tressles on the back, Karate Kicks, checkerboard Vans, flower pants, Lace button down blouses with a wife beater underneath, and The Fonz a la cute nephew Chachi.

And, yeah, MK, the dress style of the 80's is coming, no, is BACK, and it's just as ugly as it was then.

Ughh....
