Red Sails in the Sunset : Cyndi Lauper 80s Boho She-Bop Remix 

Cyndi Lauper became popular with teenagers and critics, in part due to her hybrid punk image which was crafted by stylist Patrick Lucas.

And what about her hair?

"I remember doing one I called “The Bird of Paradise.” I’d cut it like that flower with the colors to match."

“When I went to Japan, I realized why I had caught on: My hair was bright orange, I wore funny clothes, and I had war paint on my face. Just like some of their cartoons.” — Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir

Jackie O & Philip Johnson, 1983

Every moment one lives is different from the other. The good, the bad, hardship, the joy, the tragedy, love, and happiness are all interwoven into one single, indescribable whole that is called life. You cannot separate the good from the bad. And perhaps there is no need to do so, either.
-Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Ad Week | Early 80s Commodore Style

I designed Tax Pack so you could do something really practical with your VIC 20.
-Peter Lambert, MBA, Vice President, Product Development, Cosmopolitan Software

This vintage magazine ad comes from Compute! Gazette of January 1983 and features a forward thinking young man pulling off a well groomed comb-over. The VIC-20 refers to the Commodore VIC-20, an 8-bit home computer and the first computer to sell one million units.

The VIC-20 was originally meant to be called Vixen, but this name was inappropriate in Germany, because it sounds like wichsen, a colloquial word for "masturbate". VIC, which was subsequently chosen, has a similar problem, it can be pronounced like fick[en], the German word for "f*ck". Therefore the VIC-20 was finally marketed as the VC-20 "Volkscomputer". Sales of the VIC-20 started declining after the launch of the Commodore 64 in that same year.

HDV research suggests that this may be Peter Lambert today.

I keep thinkin that our problems
Soon are all gonna work out
But there's that same unhappy feeling and there's that anguish
there's that doubt
It's the same old dizzy hang up
Can't do with you or without

- Never Can Say Goodbye, The Jackson 5
