iinwitQ influence fashion styles Ghostbusters, Prince, Cyndi Lauper and other movies and musicians not only dictated where students’ money was spent, but in some instances how they dressed. As senior Lisa Gregory said, “Sometimes I get ideas on styles from my favorite singers. I really like the bright colors, like Cyndi Lauper wears, but not in my hair.” The influence of movies was shown during Lee Week as students wore Goosebuster shirts and ins. Freshman Angie hafer explained, “I thought it was great the way the Goosebuster theme was used. I especial- ly liked the seniors ‘We ain’t afraid of no Goose’ sign.” There were more defi- nite signs of the impact of the music world, with people like Rick Spring- field, Tina Turner, Boy George and Culture Club, Bruce Springsteen and of course, Prince and his six sold-out shows in Houston. This made concert shirts the “norm.” As senior Mark Knight put it, “I really enjoy the concerts that I see, so I buy the shirts to remind me of the fun.” There were other fash- ions seen around the school as mini skirts reappeared, pumps became a style, striped and faded blue jeans were worn, and neon shirts glowed. Anthony Castelluzzo, freshman, stated, “I liked seeing the girls in the mini skirts, but some of the bright colors nearly blinded me.” Though being fnahion- conacious was on the minds of students, Mrs. Brosgaard and Mrs. Gillum display their styles while walking down the hall with Rhonda Gillum, sophomore, during the Open House held in October.
