Hey, I was serious about keeping my hair upright in the mid-&#8217;80s, and the U.K. had great products. As for the rest of the photo, I thought at first that it showed me wearing the <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/dick-clark-madonna-and-my-1980s-jewelry\/\" target=\"_blank\">single, watch-parts earring that I still have and posted in 2012<\/a>, but upon further study, I realize that it was another earring that looked like ancient coins. I don&#8217;t seem to have that one anymore, but it was one of my favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Along with the floral shirt photo, I found another photo from the trip, showing me posing with a souvenir punk doll. You can glimpse her orange mohawk and tartan bondage pants in the picture. My traveling companion and I named the doll Edie Enema. If you look closely at my outfit, you can see I&#8217;m wearing the black lace-up Peter Fox booties that I wrote about <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2010\/10\/lace-up-like-vintage-madonna-and-wendyb\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.
