Back peddle to the 1980's, a decade famous for it's distinct style. A decade where street style met the runway, where parachute pants, obnoxious colored leggings (neon and hot pink), rips and tears, over sized tanks and tees with graphic designs, leg warmers in crazy knit patters, leotards, metallics, high top retro basketball sneaks, and over sized shoulder pads topped it off to give the 1980s the label rebellious, and too much is never too much. One woman represented it all through her music, her performance, her style, and her crazy ambition which made all her fans and fellow performers take a big step back and pause. She lived off all the 1980s, and invented fashion music and life for women to live for and live through..her #1 single was even called "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." That's right Cyndi Lauper along with Madonna was a huge inspiration during the 80s, and continues to inspire fashion in our day and age whenever 80s styles are incorporated in a look. If an 80s look is incorporated, then it's most likely Cyndi Lauper once wore something similar or inspired something similar.
In this day fashion, music, performance, and that crazy and flared ambition we saw in those cool 80's divas is shown through the looks of many popular musical artists like Lauper, of course nowadays it all depends on what genre you're talking about. However, one pop culture symbol represents all of the above no matter what genre she may fall under. She is exactly Cyndi Lauper 30 or so years ago, and not only looks it but her name is completely, well, costume esque. Her name is Lady Gaga as we all know. As much as I hate talking about popular things, I'd rather be uncovering behind the scene things and unwinding through the indie life and searching through the works of more unique uncorrupted artists and designers, it's important to mention GaGa not only because she is seen as the next queen of pop behind Diana Ross, but she is also collaborating with a decade or two behind her in order to promote a new product for MAC. MAC's Viva Glam Spring 2010 campaign was released in February, but just hit stores now in March. Both of these idols represents a shade of lipstick and both collaborate together to give off the vibes the lipstick should give to its buyers. Lauper's color is a classic bright red called Viva Glam Cyndi, while Gaga's is a posh light pink with a purple hint called Viva Glam Gaga, that stands out like bumble gum against any shade of skin. They are also the new faces of MAC AIDS fund, which has been represented by many pop culture faces since 1994 raising a total sum of $150 million.
Lauper's classic red is signed by the star herself, and same with miss Lady Gaga's bubble gum pink product.
