Rick Astley 80s Homage Sweatshirt


Rick Astley is best known for his 80s hit "Never Gonna Give You Up", and he was, undoubtedly, one of the best male singers of the decade. You can pay homage to him with this unisex Rick Astley sweatshirt, which features the singer as he was back in the 80s, complete with his trademark quiff and baby face. 

The design is digitally printed using eco friendly ink, which is always a bonus. The sweatshirt is available in four colours; black, grey, pink and white in adult sizes. The black one is available in sizes from small to 5XL, while the other colours are available in S, M, L or XL. This could change at any time, so go and check it out at the Sanfran Clothing Store on Amazon.co.uk. There is also free shipping to the UK.

Rick's debut album Whenever You Need Somebody was a huge success, acheiving 4 x platinum sales in the UK and Canada. Rick's success continued through the 1980s, with a total of seven top 10 hits from 1987 to 1989, and a No.7 hit in 1991 with "Cry for Help". 

The sweatshirt is ideal for 80s themed events and parties, which hopefully will return in 2021 as we get to grips with the wretched Covid-19. It can also be worn casually, of course, allowing you to show your appreciation for the singer whilst shopping, gardening, or whatever else you choose to do in it! The top will also keep you warm on those cooler spring and summer days, which we get plenty of here in the UK.

Blondie - Debbie Harry - 70s and 80s Fashion Photos

Embed from Getty Images Debbie Harry Fridge Magnet Back in my school days (yes, it was a long, long time ago!) many kids associated Blondie purely with lead singer Debbie Harry, although Blondie was actually a band, and a damn fine one, too. It's not hard to see why. After all, she oozed sex appeal and became a style icon, and many of her looks can still be seen on the high street today. Harry's designer friend Stephen Sprouse can claim responsibility for many of those looks. He created every style you can imagine using denim, black leather biker jackets, camoflauge, wayfarer and aviator shades, pink and girly styles, nautical stripes, animal print catsuits - the list goes on! I find it amusing that in 1998 Britney Spears caused controversy by wearing a school uniform for her video "Hit Me Baby One More Time". How quickly we forget that Debbie Harry had done this two decades earlier! After forming in 1974, Blondie became pioneers of the punk and new wave s

Kia-Ora 80s TV Advert - I'll be your dog!

Anyone who watched British TV during the 1980s (or went to the cinema) will remember the Kia-Ora crows advert featuring the slogan "I'll be your dog".  You may well remember the Kia-Ora drinks in plastic cartons which the usherette used to sell in the cinema. They also sold them in our local youth club, although sometimes it was Tip Top orange, which kind of tasted like the carton.  The advert itself was pretty bizarre but also a lot of fun. It featured a child wearing a straw sunhat and carrying his belongings over his shoulder, while walking in the hot sun carrying an empty glass. Suddenly, a dog appears from nowhere and tips Kia-Ora orange into his glass. The sun wrings itself out into the glass to top it up.  A crow is following the child and shouts "Kia-Ora!". The child replies "It's too orangey for crows, It's just for me and my dog." The crow replies "I'll be your dog!", and then starts barking. As they continue to walk, an

Create an 80s or 90s Acid House - Raver Look

With its squelching bass sounds (often created using a Roland TB-303 bass synth) and minimalist production, the sound of acid house first became popular in the latter half of the 80s, starting in 1987. The media were more focused on the illegal raves and psychedelic drugs, but in reality, a good many young folk enjoyed dancing to the new sound in nightclubs (including myself) without going anywhere near any drugs or illegal raves. What is synonymous with the acid house scene is the smiley face logo, and the T-shirt featuring the logo, along with tie dye and psychedelic clothing, and bucket hats which became popular with ravers. Baggy over the knee shorts were popular with men. Bandanas and dungarees/dungaree shorts were also worn by both sexes. Some ravers also had  yellow whistles . In the early 90s,  white overalls , hooded anoracks and  yellow dust masks with an "E" , smiley face or radiation symbol also became part of the rave scene. Initially, the dust masks we
