Tina Turner Wannabes

 

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.
