Crazy For Swayze T-shirts

Colourful Point Break Patrick Swazye T-shirt
Crazy For Swayze Ladies T-shirt

If you had a bit of a thing for Patrick Swayze back in the day, then you were certainly not alone. The American actor became an 80s heartthrob after starring in numerous movies including The Outsiders, Red Dawn, Young Blood, Dirty Dancing and Road House, to name but a few.

This popular and colourful Crazy for Swayze T-shirt features the actor with blonde locks, as he was in the wildy entertaining 1991 action thriller Point Break, in which he starred as a surfer known as Bodhi. It's very much a 90s shirt, and features a relaxed, boyfriend fit. It's made from 100% soft cotton and available in ladies sizes from X-Small to X-Large.

You can also buy the tee in an XXL size from the Retro Tees Store on Amazon.

However, if you're after something to wear at an 80s event, or maybe something with larger size options, then you may like this unisex T-shirt which is available from Amazon in blue or grey in a full range of sizes from small to 5XL. This Crazy for Swazye T-shirt can also be bought from Etsy UK.

Finally, I've left the best until last. This is my favourite design, which features a Dirty Dancing style font, making it ideal for wearing to an 80s party or event. It's available in five colours and sizes from small to 5XL. However, please note that the pricing for the larger sizes is higher. Nonetheless, it's a great looking tee.

Of course, Dirty Dancing is Swayze's best known 80s flick, in which he stars as the dance instructor Johnny Castle,  alongside Jennifer Grey as his pupil, Frances "Baby" Houseman.

You may, of course, prefer to opt for the official Dirty Dancing T-shirt. Customer feedback suggests ordering a size up as it is a little snug.

Swayze sadly passed away on September 14, 2009, at the age of just 57 after a long battle with cancer.

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
