true duran fan


okay, let me start right off by saying this chick is NOT me... as a matter of fact i have no idea who she is... but i do know she has true love for the fab five in her crazy 80's heart. and hey, please understand i'm not mocking this girl at all... there was a time where my bedroom walls looked more or less just like that. i can see some of the picksh she has back there... i know some of them were on my walls, too. that being said, lets take a look at that outfit. nick rhodes fedora-hat? check. 'played' collar on a lemon-colored men's shirt? check. made-in-japan fan 'tunic-thing?' check. ugh, it makes me kind of nauze to know that there were probably a lot of male teenage duran fans at that time, 'rockin'' that tunic with nothing on underneath, thus letting their skinny-shanks ribs and fragrant boy-pits breathe free. and hey, you gotta love the fake jive-ass string of pearls... and the 'thin black belt holding-up-nothing' around her waist. i can't believe she's not sporting a couple dozen black rubber bracelets, you know. maybe those came along a little bit later; like closer to 'arcadia' and 'power station' times. the eye makeup is great too. so, wherever you are, miss duran-fan chick, we salute you and your undying loyalty to the 'ragged rio' five.
