I've been given a very special assignment today - find an outfit for one of my work daddies to wear to the 80s Prom at the Country Club...
Yes, it's true... this is sometimes part of the stuff that I do at work... oh, and I'm happy to do it... beats the heck outta the last job I had...
Anywho, I've been thinking a bunch about what kind of outfit would best suit Daddy #2 (I have three work Daddies)... I also have to take into consideration what kind of reaction he will receive at the Country Club on the night of the party... oh how I would love to be a fly on the wall at that party...
So, the first thought was to go obvious...
Pretty easy to find pastel t-shirt with white jacket and white linen pants. He could say he's Don Johnson OR James Spader in Pretty in Pink...
The Hubs thought this would be good...
...and I agree... there's nothing that says "80s" and "prom" quite like the Duck-man...
Daddy #2 thought something along the stoner/ burnout lines might be appropriate, but I'm thinking that for a prom, stoner is too casual... perhaps something a bit more... Dio...
Oh yes, Ronnie James... you're prom-worthy indeed!
Other obvious ideas include...
The Robert Smith...
A little Bauhaus...
Maybe some Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo...
Too much for the Country Club?
How's about some good ol' fashioned Wham...
Hmmm... maybe, if the party was on a boat...
I'm quite certain I can't get him to go for the Michael Alig/ James St. James look...
...or even better... Leigh Bowery...
But maybe he'd be man enough to rock the Culture Club?
In the end... I think what would work best would be some tight-rolled baggy jeans, penny loafers with white socks, a cummerbund and bow-tie...
...one of these...
...and one of these...
