If your closet is anything like mine, it’s more altar to nostalgia than receptacle for anything remotely stylish. But if you wait long enough, most things come back around. (Well, some things… I could do without stirrup pants, thanks.) Recent resurfacing of ’80s styling may have you itching to bust out your Baja hoodies, Locals Only and paint-splattered duds, and now may indeed be the time to make all your waiting worthwhile. But in the fast-paced world of fashion, it’s a fine line between fierce and faux pas. Trends could be shifting to the ’90s as we speak! You might leave the house in all your day-glo glory, only to find out that it’s half-past Hammer Time and babydoll dresses are again all the rage. Then some grunge kid beats you up for wearing a jumpsuit… Play it safe by rockin’ it Reagan where others will be doing the same. At this month’s First Friday in Wailuku, the Iao Theater kicks off their all-’80s summer theme with a free screening of Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Michael Pulliam hosts, with a panel discussion preceding the film. Since it’s hip to be square, there’ll be an ’80s trivia contest with Na Koa Ikaika Maui Professional Baseball and Flatbread Co. sponsoring prizes. But don’t start buggin’ if your recollections are hazy. Consolation prize: all-you-can-eat popcorn. 242-6969, www.mauionstage.com
