Remington Steele


Oh, how suave Pierce Brosnan was when he first appeared on my TV life! He was unbelievably the finest-looking man ...until Tom Cruise.


Anyway, it starred Stephanie Zimbalist as private detective Laura Holt and Pierce Brosnan as a roguish former white-collar thief and former con man who assumed Remington Steele's fictitious identity—without his originally having planned on doing so.


The show combined the standard TV detective genre with ironic plotting and elements of romantic comedy. Both Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist were a great pair with wonderful, witty chemistry.

Madonna - Icon of the 80's

One of the great icons of the 80's -- Madonna -- whom I absolutely went crazy over. Every song, every music video, every dance move, every hairstyle, every outfit she wore had me in awe. This is a song I loved, and sung in a concert I loved.

In fact, the recent fashion trend of the 2000's is a re-adaptation of the 80's ( I guess the designers grew up & decided to bring back their love for the 80's) ...the big baggy blouses with low-waisted big belts, the legging and leotards...we've seen it all before - back in the 80's!

Dress you up!

What A Wonderful 80's World

Few nights ago, we were out for dinner and drinks. Then, at one point the conversation switched to things we loved from the 80's, the songs etc. Then, the 4 of us started singing bits from our favourite songs. Some of it, we'd forgotten....

....the Romantics, Johnny Hates Jazz, Cyndi Lauper, Boy George, Bronski Beat, Pet Shop Boys, Spandau Ballet, A-Ha, Tears for Fears wahhhhh...

Here are some of my favourites:


Cult music...wow




I died every time this came on...


Fantastic, passionate music...




I had recorded this music video off tv & watched it everyday.


I love this song like crazy...


We can still remember the words, twenty years later...oh no!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH Morten Harket!!! (sound of crazy female fans screaming)

Somehow 80's songs sound happier...even the intense ones



Who can forget Red Red Wine but I love this UB40 song more: classic innovation


Who hasn't this beautiful song before? Caravan of Love by The Housemartins


Long lost song! I finally found it -- Happy Hour by The Housemartins
