We were the generation of the
material girls that just wanted
to have fun.
Dancing all night into the
fire until the wee
hours of dawn.
Don’t you dare disturb this
groove.
Our Era issued in big hair,
and bad attitudes of devil may care.
Superior music, and even greater
fashion style.
Everyone revisits the music of the
80’s makes you remember happy
times insists you stay for a long
while.
You haven't lived until you’ve
sweated out your designer
clothing as your feet go numb
while Michael Jackson,
Duran Duran, Janet, Madonna,
and Prince’s music plays loud
throughout the underground
dance club.
We sang our songs and
banged gongs with The
Power Station as we mended
our broken hearts to torch
Ballads sung by Whitney, Toni
Braxton, and Phil Collins.
We came of age with John
Hughes movies and a self
awareness that we were the
Genesis of the "It Girls".
Ours was a timeless swag
much like a Dooney &
Bourke or often carried
weathered leather Coach Bag.
There was nothing like the
80's and being part of that
time made us by extension,
Tina Turner Wannabes.
Her songs forever tattooed upon
our hearts we strut into our
womanhood unafraid prepared
to take on everything and excel.
We were simply the best.
As timeless as Tina’s easy
denim jacket & oh my
those unforgettable Louboutin sexy
Stiletto high-heeled Shoes.
