REPLAY AMERICA – The Ultimate 80s Festival
May 21, 2014 What if you could go to one concert this summer? Just one. I would of course want it to be a band from the 80s that I love . . . . like . . . The Go-Go’s! What if along with that one great 80s band (like The Go-Go’s) you could see FOUR other great bands from the 80s to rock you back to your junior year of high school? Like Martha Davis and The Motels? Patty Smyth of Scandal? How about a little Cutting Crew? And round it...

Marcus Wainwright, who along with David Neville...
And All That Jazz: Capezio Jazz Shoes
Junior year I tried out for Starettes, the school dance team which made absolutely zero sense…seeing as I was a pretty terrible dancer. I went out and bought some spandex “pants” (shudder) and wore a tank top with the obligatory off the shoulder sweatshirt over it.
