And now, your photos ...

Spikysandy Remember a couple weeks ago when I said I wasn't posting any more embarrassing photos of myself from the 80s until I received a few from you -- the 80s nation?

Some of you actually had the courage to send in your photos! Today's fashion victim: long-time fan "Spiky Sandy."

Sandy writes: "This is a picture of me on the left and my friend, Mich, at Eckerd College circa 1986.  We were going to a party.  Honestly, we really didn't dress this way all of the time!  I'm Spiky Sandy because now my hair is very, very short!  I had huge hair back then."

I'm at a loss for words, Sandy. I'm not sure it's the big hair that stands out the most. I'm thinking the "Choose Life" shirt is the ultimate 80s accessory. But the blue eyeshadow and ripped jeans ... wow! It's a good thing we didn't know each other back then. I'd be your stalker. I'm totally in love. Will you go to prom with me?

God, I miss the 80s. Keep your 80s photos coming. Send them to stuckinthe80s@tampabay.com. I'll buy a custom "Stuck in the 80s" t-shirt for the person who has the photo that the "most 80s-ish."
