Escape to the 80s

On December 30, 2008, Dr. Chop and I attended an "Escape to the 80s" Party in honor of the turning 40 of four most excellent queens in our community. Although it is not O-fficial Queenly Bidness, it was such a good time that I decided to share it with all of you~my Berry and Habitat people. I hope you enjoy and that for those of you who were young in the 80s, it brings back fond memories. I also wish you a totally tubular 2009~Like, totally!!!!!
