big haired ladies of the 'eighties 

all those grand and glorious hairstyles women of that era publicly sported - without shame or embarrassment, evidently - only to find themselves forever running scared (especially from new husbands, new boyfriends or partners) of any or all damning photo evidence of such "unfortunate fashion choices" ever seeing the light of day.
New Girlfriend : Ha-ha ! Your mother showed me your high school graduation photo the other day. Boy, did you sport QUITE the mullet back in the day ! What - making certain your football helmet fit nice and snug ? LOL
Me : Sez you ! Have you forgotten what YOU looked like ? Judging from YOUR grad photo, I thought you were one of the Bangles or maybe Sara Jessica Parker's stunt double from 'Square Pegs'.
New Girlfriend : Eeeeeewwwwwww !!!!!! You actually SAW it ?! OMFG - I thought I had burned every known copy of that horrid pic ! Now you'll probably break up with me knowing I once ever looked like that ! I'm cursed, Cursed, CURSED !!!
Me : Big haired ladies of the 'eighties ! LOL

Gaighties 

Something that is both gay and from the 1980s. Gay + Eighties = Gaighties
The girls at the office weren’t fans of the company’s new logo. Sara thought the logo’s colors were pulled straight from the flag at the gay pride parade. Tanya felt the logo outdated the company – like the employees should be wearing light peach suits with shoulder padding. Courtney agreed with all the above; it was a very gaighties logo.

Alternate Example: George Michael
