A Walk Through Time 1980's/ATCs/Open Media/Due date: January 15, 1926

I forgot to post pics of my cards! Here they are:
The wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer took place on 29 July 1981
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds celebrated its centenary in 1989
MTV was launched on 1 August 1981, with the first video being ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ by The Buggles
The film Flashdance was released on 15 April 1983 in the US and 30 June 1983 in the UK

Gonna have to withdraw from this swap as well. 😥I finished some cards and they're gonna be in my availables later.
 
Since ferretgirl offered to extend the deadline, I am not withdrawing, and here are my 80's cards (in the mail today!).

1. Tetris for Gameboy, launched in 1989. The game itself was invented in 1985 in Soviet.
2. Elder millennial as a young girl, self portrait, late 1980's. First generation of millennials was born in 1982 and I was born in 1983. In this ATC I have tried to visualises how I percieve the eighties, and it's a bit of a cognitive dissonance for me. I feel like ads and media emphasized sexiness, glamour, workout etc. But as a kid in the countryside of Sweden in the eighties, we just wore colorful, mismatched ill-fitting clothes, sweatpants tucked into rubber boots, etc. As kids should! But it was everything but glamorous.
3. Sony Walkman, actually released in 1979 but it captures the 80's for me. In Sweden a portable cassette player was called a "freestyle" for some reason, and all the cool kids had them.
4. Totoro from the 1988 Miyazaki film "My Neighbor Totoro". It's a kids movie but it's one of my favourites. It's cute, weird, fantastic and realistic at the same time.
