Answer 1

GO AS THE ROCK STAR: VAN HALEN ( HE WAS HUGE BACK THEN).....MTV BIG HIT!!!  LONG BLONDE HAIR, WHITE TIGHTS AND CARRY A GUITAR.  OFF STAGE, HE PRACTICED MARTICAL ARTS >lil history for you.  IF THAT'S TOO MUCH FOR YOU, THEN GO AS BILLY IDOL, BLUE JEANS, JEAN JACKET W/COLLAR TURNED UP, JET BLACK SHADES AND JET BLACK HAIR.   SPRAY PAINT HAIR -SIDES FLAT AND BACK. >he had the Fonz look, from Happy Days.    HE WAS A ROCK STAR SINGER ALSO, PLAYED NO INSTRUMENTS>history:  married to a top model extremely taller than he.

Good Luck:  Hope these help, you could use your own clothes for the second one.  The name of Billy Idol's song was named "Uptown Girl"     Van Halen's song was named "Jump!"

Answer 4

tease your hair so its nice and big, or pull it into a poofy sideways ponytail.  if you have a crimper, that would be awesome to use for this occasion.

wear a denim mini skirt if you have one.  then wear leggings under it.  if you don't have leggings, you can cut the bottoms out of a pair of tights if you have them and don't mind cutting them.  Black works best.

For a shirt, wear something brightly colored.  or, if you have a sweatshirt you don't mind mutilating, cut the top so it falls off of one of your shoulders.

Wear bright blue eyeshadow and bright red lipstick if you have them.  the 80's were all about trashy looking makeup.

this should be fun!

oh btw, billy joel sings uptown girl, not billy idol as stated above.

edit:

I didn't even think about if you are a boy.  if you are, wear the tightest pair of jeans you have, a plain white or black shirt.  put on a little eyeliner if you have access to it.  Make your hair as big as possible.

Answer 5

Get some stone wash jeans then tight roll them. Put on some Reebok Hightops (w/ velcro ankle straps). Get an old Bon Jovi Concert Tee and roll the sleaves at least twice. Get a Members Only wind breaker and a mullet wig! Viola welcome back to the Eighties!
