Fall is a magical time of the year. There’s finally some relief from the heat of summer. The nights are breezy and cool, and everything seems more vivid.
An ’80s Goth Halloween Playlist
Halloween is almost here! Halloween is almost here! Today’s post is dedicated to the ’80s goth experience. There’s lots of music video magic to enjoy (plus a fun project and a snack idea), so get ready to escape.
Camp Mirror80: The Golden Girls
Today I’m kicking off a new decade of blogging by launching Camp Mirror80. Whether you’re stuck at home or venturing out on a regular basis, chances are life as we know it is going to look different for awhile.

An ’80s Halloween Music Video Playlist
Happy Halloween season, Everyone! Since we’re a little over a week out from the big day, I thought it was time to update the ’80s Halloween playlist I created two years ago. While this collection of music videos leans New Wave and a bit goth, there’s a little something for everyone in the mix…
A Back-to-School Playlist
It’s back-to-school season… The good news: you’re never too old to revel in the magic of ’80s campus movies! Everyone went back to school in the Decade of Decadence. Whether you were a spazz, a dork, a geek, or Rodney Dangerfield, you had a shot.

A British Pop Playlist
The style of today’s playlist is not to be confused with Britpop…we’ll save that ’90s genre for another post! Instead, journey to England in the 1980s, where Nick Heyward roams the streets with an instrument case, and it’s always a good thing when you can share a split-screen close-up with the likes of Dave Wakeling.
An ’80s Sci-Fi Music Video Playlist
I have my friend Kris to thank for inspiring today’s music video playlist. After he suggested Billy Ocean’s “Loverboy” for the Valentine’s Day mix, I watched the video for the first time and decided that it should star in its own sci-fi playlist! So here it is…
