U2 War Tour Official T-shirt

U2's politically-charged, guitar rock album, War, is often voted for as one of the 1980's greatest, and it was supported by a two year tour across western Europe, North America (including Canada) and Japan. The well-received live performances, no doubt, helped the band gain many new followers, particularly in the U.S.

The tour started as a pre-war tour at Tiffany's in Glasgow on 1st Dec 1982, and ended at the Nakano Sunplaza in Japan on Nov 30 1983.

You can celebrate the tour with one of these official War Tour T-shirts, which I am about to show you.

This first T-shirt only comes in a grey colour, but looks very stylish and can be bought at Amazon UK. Sadly, it doesn't come in any large sizes for some reason. However, do not fret, as I have more to show you...

This black T-shirt comes in unisex sizing, and it displays their performance date at the Red Rocks Ampitheater in Denver, Colorado. The setting of the open-air ampi-theater is pretty spectacular, with the iconic circle of rocks sitting behind it and views of open countryside.

You may prefer to show your love for their War album, instead. Although this black T-shirt is not an official design, it does comes in a full range of sizes.

One of these tees would make a lovely gift for a U2 fan, or maybe your shopping for yourself? Whichever it is, I hope one of these designs is for you!

I also recommend viewing this Grey War Tour T-shirt at T-shirt Zone UK, which comes in a full range of sizes.

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

An 80s Tennis Player Costume? You Cannot Be Serious!

While most people opt for a pop star theme when dressing up for an 80s party or event, one option that is a little more original is to dress like an 80s tennis player. The costumes I'm about to show are obviously based on John McEnroe, and I'm dead serious! The short-tempered tennis star became infamous for his confrontational behaviour towards the umpire during the 1980s, screaming "Answer my question! The question, jerk!" (when he angrily threw his racket at the juice cart) and "You can't be serious man, you cannot be serious!" when he thought the umpire had made a bad call about the ball being out. He was often booed by the crowds for his rants, but it was hugely entertaining to watch! Embed from Getty Images The look above is the one you should aim for, and this is the most iconic. So let's take a look at the fancy dress costume options available...   The white T-shirt and shorts outfit with red and blue stripes is based on McEnroe&

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
