description: The 80s revival starts here! The 80s ended only a few years ago, but already the days of Dynasty , skinny ties, and Valley Girls beckon. In Totally Awesome 80s , Matthew Rettenmund drops the touchy-feely 90s and dredges up the garish, glorious 80s. He's captured it all, from Culture Club to Men at Work, parachute pants to Members Only jackets, E.T. to Porky's , Moonlighting to The Cosby Show , and much more. Deliciously wicked and unnervingly hip, Totally Awesome 80s holds a mirror up to that indulgent decade and lets us laugh at the all-too-familiar reflection.
