I seem to recall it was electric blue in colour (I know you all so wish you'd had one, but hey I was 15 at the time) <-- Don's her jumpsuit, calls for DVC dad and starts throwing shapes on the dance floor....

I had an electric blue outfit too! LOL. They were "pedal pushers" basically with a kinda balloony jacket - very 80's! LOL. I used to wear it with a little black tank and the coolest open toed black leather flats that had a leather knot. Man that was a great outfit! We should start a whole 'nother thread to talk about retro clothes! LOL. Okay, sorry, back to party mode! NO self-respecting guy is gonna come in here with all this girl talk about fashion. LOL. - But before I return to the party I just have to say you look HOT in your electric blues! <--- hands Smedley and the other fashion divas, their favorite coolers and runs to the kitchen to whip up some good snacks.
