What's your favorite 80s video?

Y'know, I have no idea. I think I'm overwhelmed by choice & hindered by a crappy memory.

Off the top of my head, I always loved 'Dominion' by The Sisters of Mercy. Andrew Eldritch + white sword + sword cane + never before seen on film portions of Jordan (?) = Trés Cool.

Though Visage's 'Fade to Gray' was a landmark piece that has always stuck in my mind.

It's fast acting (I swear mine kicks in within 20 minutes)

IIRC, that's what it's designed to do. I know that's why my doc gave me that *and* a Valium scrip - one if I need to cut the loop now, and one if I'm not in a full attack but I'll need to stop thinking for a bit soon.

Jilli, I hope you can figure out a way to stave off the panicking and the upset. I think the Ativan/Xanax advice is very good. Also, what about a promised treat? When I'm in horrible kill-me-now deadline mode and being eaten alive by stress, I have to one thing to look forward to, the proverbial carrot, even if it's nothing more than my favorite ice cream or a good new fic to read.

So many 80s videos to love and choose from! I'm going to say, shameful as it is, one of mine has to be "Come On, Eileen." I would say "November Rain," but I think that's 90s.

I think Jilli's only recourse is a pharmaceutical one, because any other bribe or rationale just isn't up to the task of breaking the cycle of panic she can descend into.

You have a thing for hairy armpits aimed directly into camera? Weird.

Whoops.

And overalls with no shirts underneath!

And blond curls breaking free of their Rosie-the-Riveter-kerchief bonds!

Favorite '80s video? "Our House" by Madness. Bless.

Though I could probably make a case for a bunch of the hair bands.

Nothing beats Total Eclipse of the Heart for 80's video.

Two words: Dancing. Ninjas.
