Last night to celebrate my birthday (June 19) and his (June 25), my friend Funny Michael scored us tickets to the True Colors Tour at Dodge Theatre. Highly recommended — thanks, Cyndi Lauper! While we were wandering through the lobby before the show we spied two girls who had dressed Totally ’80s for the occasion — side ponytails, crimped hair, neon, big earrings. I declared that I would have my photo taken with them.

After they got shunted over to stage left for dancing too much, Michael and I ran over and scored this snapshot. This photo does not do justice to the amount of attention they paid to their look. If you recognize them, let me know!

(And then later at Amsterdam, TV host/time filler/inexplicable fashionista Carson Kressley came up and straddled Michael on a couch after we told him he had been “very entertaining.” I’d hate to see how he takes a real compliment.
