Fashion Inspiration: 80s U2

Lately, I’ve been listening to the podcast U Talking U2 To Me? with Adam Scott and Scott Aukerman, or Scott and Scott as they refer to each other on the show. Though the podcast is billed as the complete compendium of all things U2, it is really mostly silly inside jokes, such as the hosts' repeated attempts to outdo each other by pronouncing Achtung Baby in as many different funny ways as possible. Still, it has managed to rekindle my love for U2 and led me to rewatch the movie Rattle and Hum, which doesn’t really hold up exactly, but remains dear to my heart just because I watched it so many times growing up. My older sister Sarah was a huge U2 fan as a teenager, and being a typical little sister I liked whatever she liked. Seeing the movie again made me realize my sister’s love of U2 back in the day went way beyond just appreciating their music; she straight up dressed like Bono. Which is nothing to be ashamed of! In fact, it gave me the idea for this post.
