Life & soul of THE PARTY

An 80s invitation had Michele getting into the groove all over again

- MICHELE A'COURT

For many years possibly since the 1990s - I have resisted invitations to '80s-themed parties. 

I imagine it's the same reason someone who used to be a nurse is unlikely to pick "nurse" as a fun-time fancy dress costume if you do something in a really intense way, and for a living, do you really want to reprise the role once that show is over? I feel like I did "The Eighties" pretty lavishly in the eighties.

This is the decade I went to university, worked as a journalist and got a job in television behind the scenes for a few years before ending up on camera with shoulder pads and huge earrings. I don't need to google "What did they wear in the 1980s?" I just have to... remember.
