I admit it, I was a huge Durannie back in the 80s. (gosh I feel old...)
I found this on Youtube, and it was too bizarre not to share. Duran Duran meets Anime...

LOL...that was deeply disturbing...but did you know that I had a couple of cameos in that vid? I think I saw you, too, TJ...

Ooh, you found me out! But I hadn't realized that was you!!!! 
Originally posted by SpringieOhhh I saw that in the clip and thought it was TJ and Springie!!! My sister Jenny was the dark haired girl...she was a Duranie! I was one by default...I had no choice she played it all the time. but being a teenager I liked it! I thought the were going to transmute any minute...especially towards the end with the dinosaur...or the Phoenix was going fly over it !
I confess to being a bit of a duran duran fan back in the 80's, loved a lot of the videos they did for their songs and used to spend hours hiding away listening to their stuff.
Was sort of a Duranie in the '80's. Ok - I'll admit it. I was the Queen of the New Romantics!!!!
Pirate Shirts, lace, velvet, the whole lot. Funny to think that we wre sort of the original goths!
So was I Maddy!!!! (I liked the fashion at the time...not really a goth though...just liked romantic fashion because of my interest in period dress)hhheeee Still like my velvet skirts....ahhhh
I was a big Queen fan and I still am...
Gimme the prize!!! Connor McCloud....
That why I like the theme of Firebirds new series... "Who wants to live forever!"
Ohhh I forgot...this is a Duranie thread ooooppppssss
My borhter was into the New Romantics and was a fan of Duran Duran and did a painting of The Thompson Twins on his bedroom walll which wasn't too bad.
I love my 80s music, regardless what genre it was and Queen (not the new one) my favourite band.

Even though I was more of a "hair" band lover I still loved almost all of the 80's music and Duran Duran was pretty cool to listen to.

Amy, I can tell you don't know much about 80s bands. Yes it's lipstick. It was the thing... even the metal bands wore lipstick back then. In fact, I remember the day Nick Rhodes got married (a day of gloom in my house) and the big gossip was that he and his bride wore the same lipstick!
That is just too funny.... I had never heard that before, still I was only a part time Duran Duran person... Did have fanfics from back then too, had to do with me and some of my 80's hair bands... OH those were the days!!

I got the DVDs of the mini series and the first season. There ar4e still talks about either re-doing V or starting off a V Next Generation type sequal. I do know for a fact that there is a book called that or something like that, which has come out recently.

Thinking of my Gatch DVD's. The ones I've watched appear to be fine. (Had a gatch day two weekends ago and watched the first 6 disks) My only problem is some of the paper covers to the cases got ripped while trying to dry them out.
And all the boxes the DVD's came in, I had bought the three box sets, were destroyed.
Anyone feel like scanning in a few covers from the DVD's for me and emailing the scans to me, so I can print off some new ones. I can let you know which covers I need something like 6 or 7 of them.
Or maybe there is a site I can visit to get the images. Anyone know???

Ah, those huge shoulder pads, how I remember them. How it was possible to even buy bras with shoulder pads attached to the straps....
Shoulder pads were the bane of my life. I've always been quite broad in the shoulders, even when I was a bag of bones in the 80s. I used to have to cut the shoulder pads out of blouses so that I could actually move my arms in them (I was usually ok with jackets fortunately!). Nowadays I wear more jersey stuff so there's always enough stretchyness for my shoulders, but those flouncy frilly blouses just weren't stitched for me.
That sounds more fun than the punk and style exagerations nowadays.....Gosh, just look what I have missed for beeing born 10 years later

I've got broad shoulders too, so I didn't need the shoulder pads either...I just had no boobs so a push up bra would have done me good back then!

Originally posted by clouddancerOh, gosh, CD, no, I wasn't offended at all. I was just joking!!!!! I tend to make mistakes in my posts too, FWIW. That's why so many of them are edited.
And I appreciate how much effort you put into your posts.

Originally posted by Transmute Jun Of course not... I've actually been on a roll today. I'm HOPING to get it finished this weekend, and start posting it early next week. HOPING! NO promises....Geessss I'm only half way through my angsty fic!!! Damn... MMM your old bedroom looks just like my older sisters half of her room(the one she shared with my other sister who hated Duran Duran...Jenny didn't care...she just used to help me put my posters up in my room...rock bands like Bon Jovi or Queen...) Gramma...thats what other people are good at...I just write because I have a story to tell, and if you like it...thank you!!!...I just try to minimize the errors in writing at least, needlework and sewing, painting does not require good gramma..but I'm learning... So don't worry CD we love you anyway!!!!
WOW TJ... I'll have to find the pics of my old room... I was obsessed like you, but with the band KISS instead...
The boom box and record player remind me some what of my own too.
TJ nice room!

I guess I'm with the right group if you all appreciate my room! My parents HATED it... but to their credit, they let me do as I pleased. Especially once it was clear that the wallpaper was already ruined form all of that tape.
Ebony! Honestly, the grammar is fixable. What is much harder to achieve is the wonderful story-telling and plotlines that you write with ease. IMHO, that's much more important!
Anyone else who wants to post pictures of their rooms from twenty years ago (Gag... where did my youth go???), go ahead! I'd love to see them!

Then you would love to see my rooms right now.
Packed high with boxes from the basement.
I keep having to move boxes around so I can find my teaching materials.

No offense CD< but I don't think I want to see your pictures. The drowned Gatch Boxes would make me depressed.

No drowned Gatch Boxes, they went out in the garbage.
Just a lot of DVD cases sitting on the floor of my bedroom waiting for me to watch them.
To make sure they work, at least that is my excuse for watching them.

Obviously you guys weren't as obsessed as I was. I somehow knew that my wall-to-wall posters were in serious need of preservations... they're pretty much all gone now....

I just had Bon Jovi and Queen posters on my walls, and one or 2 popular bands at the time....
OH NO!!! I had Wham up there too, with a big poster of George Michael...
Well I was an 80's teenager after all...and my boyfriend had to know who the competition was...

I was big into George Michael too. I went to the only concert Wham ever gave in Canada...
TJ its not that I was not as obsessed just that I have no pictures. My room was covered with pictures of Duran Duran, Wham and horses.

I can understand that. My room was wallpapered with Duran Duran for 3 years before I ever took a picture of it. And you know, I think it was because a penpal (I had about 50 different Duran Duran pen pals) wanted to see my room.
