Feisty feminist, fierce supporter of LGBT rights and 1980s icon. That's right, you know exactly who I'm talking about. I've always loved Cyndi Lauper: her music, her looks and her attitude. I relate to her lyrics and identify with her unflinchingly fearless sense of style, where no rules apply. It was 1983 in New York when this Queens native with the craziest hairstyle declared that "Girls Just Want to Have Fun"! This sing-along hit became a feminist anthem with the right amount of punk spirit, rebellion and girl power. After 30 years, it still rocks the dancefloor and the radio. This woman has always had the coolest concept of personal style and she wasn't afraid of looking ridiculous, she couldn't care less about trends and most of all, she has always been herself in the most genuine way possible.
At the peak of her career in the 80s, Cyndi's wild fashion picks were mismatched, bold, colourful, edgy, vibrant and awesomely fun! Accessories galore, studs, belts, ruffled layers, eccentric hats, bangles and statement earrings. Not to mention her amazingly bright make up: neon eyeshadow, heavily blushed cheekbones, and shimmering lipstick. Some may find it a bit over the top but I consider Cyndi Lauper incredibly inspiring and definitely not boring when it comes to aesthetics.
