    Fame, Flashdance and Footloose!!!

    Hi All - am have a themed party named the above for some girlfriends next week. Have told them to at least wear leg warmers to remember the 80s...but the more 80s dress the better...I know one of the girls has looked out her rollerboots ...but not on my new laminate flooring surely!!?

    Anyway, have organised the 80s karaoke, the food (hopefully BBQ)...but just wondering if there are any games we could play? I help a Mexican night a couple of years ago, and had the national anthem and pin the tail on the donkey (sorry, bandito!) etc...but just looking for something else for this one!

    Any ideas/comments welcome!

    Dee

    PS For those who do not remember the 80s....please ignore!

    Platform soled shoes or was that the 70s?
    Sorry I'm a late 60s early 70s person.

        I have a Space Invaders cocktail table - however, it would take a bit of dosh to move it up your way for the night (would do it though if you covered costs)

          I think the 80's was trivial pursuit - try ebay?

                  Twister first appeared in 1966.

                  When Milton Bradley hesitantly released the game in 1966 (invented by Charles F. Foley), the company had no small amount of skepticism for its potential, as well as to-be-expected fear of public criticism. Detractors denounced the game as "sex in a box." These fears were dispelled when Johnny Carson featured the game on the May 3, 1966 episode of The Tonight Show. One of Johnny's guests was Eva Gabor in a low-cut dress.

                      Twister may have originated in 1966, but Naked ,Oiled Twister was definately an Eighties invention as I recall. Ah, those office parties....
