80's Rules!

Last weekend I went to dear cousin Sophie's 10th birthday party. Sophie insisted on an 80's party, as there were lots of bright colours back then!

 Some party decorations




 Sophie and my dear plant friend, Chilli Vanilli, who came down from London with me to join the party.

Jessica is the daughter of the sister of the wife of the father of my 2nd cousin once removed - not really sure what relationship we have then! Here she is showing off her cake decorating skills.

 Emma is Jessica's sister. Their mother, Heather, is  a professional make up artist, so as part of the party, these 3 hard working ladies spent a lot of time crimping the guests hair and doing funky make-up for them - great work!

 Punk cousin Craig - you better put that screwdriver down buddy!

 Have you ever noticed how Craig looks like the lead singer of The Prodigy?



 Garage ready for 80s action


 On the far wall, you can see a picture of Madonna - this was used to play the popular kid's game "Pin the boobies on Madonna"

 Craig and Lisa - when punk and 80's hip collide.

 Sophie the supermodel!


 Slash and Sophie

 My poor attempt at an Elvis snarl

 Emma and Jodie - don't be fooled, they are not sisters!




 What a weird family!
 Like mother like son - Anthea knows how to rock the punk look.

 Anthea and Ian, punk and Elvis


 Staying true to his Prodigy roots, Craig is The Firestarter

Haha, those photos are so fun!!! Love all the costumes and colours, you looked great as Elvis. Sophie is going to be a stunning heart breaker soon.

Like the plant too. Like Leon in the movie "The Professional."
