Recently, I had a friend of mine throw an 80's themed party. To my dismay I could not attend as I was out of town at the time. Although, she was kind enough though to replay all of the fun throw backs and happenings that I missed out on.
While recalling this to my colleague Kristen, another Client Success Manager here at Compendium Blogware, during our morning trip to Starbucks - it started us on a rambling of our favorite 80's fads. (Everything from New Kids on the Block, our favorite cassettes, Connect 4 and Operation, to the wonderful fashion trends of neon, knot ties in your shirt, spandex, and air-pump sneakers)
Our conversation continued on into the elevator for the ride back to our offices. In the elevator others jumped in on our conversation and soon we had good banter and had shared several smiles with our building mates.
Since we were having such a great time with this topic, I wanted to share with everyone else, and allow you to get in on the fun.
What was your favorite trend or moment to come out of the 80's?
In Client Success, we often will have discussions with our clients regarding content development and how they struggle to come up with ideas to blog about. Ideas can come from daily conversations, newsletters, frequently asked questions, industry news, other bloggers posts, and anything else that strikes your fancy. For example....the 80's! A corporate blog doesn't have to be dry. Check out this company blog post from our client Circle City Tickets who had fun with her post.

How about crimped hair and side pony tails -- oh I loved the 80s! And let us not forget Nintendo, (the original console). I still have mine - long live Tetris!

Michael Jackson's "Beat It" jacket. I was bummed when one year for Christmas I received it instead of the Thriller jacket. Looking back, Beat It had a lot more street cred.
