[@peytongrey9213]

The higher the hair the closer to God I’m dying 😂😂😂😂

[@melissacooper4482]

I think of those women on those religious shows of the 1980s when I hear that phrase!

[@Mushroom321-]

that's what Dolly Parton says. it's a southern thing. 😂

[@nixipixie9989]

She needed a side pony, a Swatch, and a misting of Love's Baby Soft.

[@eachandeverything4022]

Yeah and don't forget a fanny pack and a trapper keeper,!

[@LilStampBug]

and Vaurnet Sunglasses 👍

[@theresemartin7930]

Don't forget the feathered bangs!

[@MEH157]

Omg I love you!! Brings back memories!! ❤️

[@anhaddad]

CVS still sells Love’s Baby Soft and Jeanne Nate. 😆

[@greenmanalishi9919]

I love that you dressed her in what most people really wore and not the neon legwarmer headband Cyndi Lauper video caricature clothes that everybody thinks they wore.

[@Guernsey576]

I did wear legwarmers, but they weren't neon. Mine were pale pink and I loved them because it was what the Kids from Fame wore...

[@Just-Nikki]

I wore most of that 😂

[@thereal5326]

Imagine parents 30 years from now teaching their kids TikTok dances lol. 😂

[@kandisebird9525]

No just no 😂

[@BTtimmyjim]

That’s me as a parent lol😂😂😂

[@brookeblanchard540]

@Doodle Kitty Lol.

[@lillianandlucy1132]

Oh no

[@maddistudios9959]

Omg yesssss

[@RedCornStudios]

That was the most accurate 80’s recreation I’ve seen in awhile.

[@hudsonvivaan9149]

instablaster.

[@amywjn]

Totally, what would really be nice would be a white belt with a scalloped buckle, silver puffed heart necklace, & a silver purse.

[@meowing005]

thats kinda sad

[@missnaomi613]

I never used a crimping iron. I just braided my hair when it was wet and let it dry like that. No heat damage. 🙂

[@torttia]

The 80's we're like totally tubular.

[@sarah5931]

It's on like donkey Kong Why I know these phrases bc I was born in the wrong century and am way too ubsessed with the 80s

[@glamcruehead0515]

I wasn't there but I can agree.

[@Slay_all.day952]

Hi

[@Slay_all.day952]

Keira Mullahy LOL I get so excited when people mention my name so hi

[@yoda6013]

Tia 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@cowsrgaylivewithit]

Parents in 30 years making over there kids with a 2020 style: “ok so put on your pajamas then spill spaghetti on it. Great now wipe peanut butter on it, you look so much better than i did!!”

[@ladygrndr9424]

I have just completely given up this year. If my mask is cute, that's good enough for me.

[@bubzilla6137]

Lola totally rocked that look! Tubularly gnarly, guys! Thanks for another entertaining reminder of how far fashion has come... Your whole family is so amazing! 🙂🙂🙂

[@garlandajoyce1980]

omg totally loving the 80s stuff. I had the exact same shirt, wore it the same way, had the same hair band (those were awesome!!) & of course we crimped our hair. Of course eventually that changed to ironing our hair with a real iron while lying on a towel & hoping our hair didn't fall out haha Lola totally rocked the look!

[@dashawelch2268]

Do pen Charles Next

[@lisafarmer7418]

THIS! 2 colors is TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS!!! I wish I had a daughter to share my 80s fashion tips with! Wait, I have 2 nieces! That'll work! Kim, show her some Caboodles! 😎😎😎

[@seameology]

Lol! I still have my caboodle! That thng is tough. It's a sewing box now!

[@poosaidestroya69]

"It looks like a bird's nest."That's the 80's honey.

[@mjgee2713]

As she’s frying her hair: “You can hear the damage...” 😱😂

[@kelleyfrye8909]

No slouchy socks?????

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

We totally forgot

[@AskAgainL8ter]

I was thinking the same thing! Two or three pairs in different colors

[@kevinfox7177]

Make it happen! And 80’s up Penn Charles too! But make sure he’s wearing both socks this time

[@angelarrivas]

No flavored lip gloss?? 🍉🍓

[@vickiechandler3112]

leg warmers....and stirrup pants...LOL

[@gigi06818]

My 18 yr old daughter and her friends actually like the 80 and 90 fashion, etc and music..lol

[@reese7916]

Good for them. I don't prefer the 90s but the 80s are totally rad!

[@Me-wk3ix]

She's actually weirdly made for the 80s look, she somehow pulls it off where many couldn't!

[@alisonal-bawab102]

Spot on Kim. Thanks for taking me down memory lane, and sharing with your daughter the greatness of the 80's.

[@abbyrose6570]

Lola was so brave to do this kudos to her!

[@teamtrails7858]

Is Lola taller than Kim???

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

YES!

[@Alexa-iu8wd]

i noticed that too

[@clareposey2357]

Holderness Family Vlogs how old is she?! Love this video 😂

[@laurafisher8682]

I was going to say the same thing!!

[@alenaotto7565]

yep😂

[@BB-wl1lu]

Now I need to see a pic of Kim and Penn from the 80s!

[@rachelwilliams6934]

Gem and the Holograms.....I loved that cartoon

[@framboise8845]

This poor little girl really love her parents

[@banditpugs9025]

"It LoOkS LiKe A bIrD nEsT ThAt Is In My Head!" OMLOL I'M DYING!!!!

[@pammyjams7529]

YESSSS! I think I was just a bit younger in the 80’s and saw all the cool older girls rocking this!! I love it!

[@elizabethlangheim9460]

Was rooting for the banana clip. That was my favorite style.

[@brittnycampos1134]

Love it!! My family did all this in the 90s too haha. I loved my blue mascara! Also, Lola has gotten so tall!

[@cecilegreard]

Would love to see a photo of Lola in her 80's gear next to a photo of her mom at the same age!

[@evaberanek2102]

Yes!

[@faithroberts5624]

haha, this is great. Love you guys so much! Also, Lola is growing up so fast and is absolutely beautiful! ;)

[@sloanehinchey1123]

“i look like a clown” - Lola 😂

[@awkwardlyrachel5524]

As soon as Kim applied the blue eyeshadow, "Jem and the Holograms" popped into my head. 😄👩🏼‍🎤👍🏻🥰

[@kolandalf]

Me watching this 2 years later..... THIS IS ALL COMING BACK!!! THIS CLOTHING IS LITERALLY WHAT IS TRENDY RIGHT NOW!!

[@erinjohnson-foster2357]

Kim omg I remember all of that thank you for this video cause our kids will never understand a world that had zero internet lol

[@dayna2688]

Oh my goodness!! When did Lola get so tall ? Kim you totally nailed the 80’s look for her.

[@hopebullard460]

Dad teaching her dance moves ❤️❤️❤️

[@MrPot8117]

It's ok Lola u still look beautiful👍

[@gamom1]

I absolutely love reliving my teens from you!! This was my decade

[@ketigunia]

Haha Lola’s reaction was hilarious! I love how happy she was at the begging the. At the end she was like ahhhhh what did you do!

[@cupcakepink1299]

She looks great! I'd love an 80s makeover! 😍

[@kendewendy]

How can she not like the 80’s it’s awesome

[@skeetarus]

I was thirteen in the eighties when I used to do my eyeshadow half-pink, half-blue, wear a Fido-Dido shirt with shoulder pads and I had my first kiss at the roller-skating rink. Classic.

[@vickisharon]

That was another awesome video. The best part was Penn teaching Lola to dance. That was hilarious.xxxxx

[@maryhornsby9441]

LOL Lola you looked so good!

[@bobsakowski8298]

Penn, I think you are right about Kim's 80s obsession. She had this expression of positively maniacal glee throughout the whole video!

[@bethslaughter4279]

Love love love! Taking me back to junior high. I rocked that look so many times! And by the way, Gem is truly outrageous!

[@prynkya]

Lol. Thank goodness I had my teen years in the 90's.

[@hansmanish3638]

You guys are literally awesome. I hope you do more of these.

[@jferreira9970]

Your daughter is such a good sport but also she would’ve been the MOST popular girl at school. 🤣🤣 She literally had ALL the things every girl wanted.

[@kathrynhodgson5037]

I just donated an original 1980’s crimping iron along with colorful plastic barrettes and banana clips. I kept the Aqua Net for our potato launcher. That stuff is so highly flammable it shoots our potatoes really far! 🤣😂🤣 Looking rad Lola!

[@MsLemonhead]

Lola is hitting a growth spurt. When did she get so tall!?!?! But anyway, you shouldve went with the high ponytail scrunchies!! ❤ I love these videos.

[@holdernessfamilylaughs]

Yes! She's super tall. I'm so jealous.

[@MsLemonhead]

@@holdernessfamilylaughs me too I'm only 5'3 and have been for 20 yrs 😂. But she's a beautiful young lady. Now is it Penn Charles' turn next!?!? ❤

[@katerozy9510]

Holderness Family Vlogs how tall is she? I’m really tall, and I don’t really like it 😬 but it is good sometimes!

[@charliegraham2966]

Maria Pelino-Lemons I’m only 5’1 your tall to me

[@Remembery]

Now that 80s fashion has made a comeback, this video needs one too.

[@jenniferwilliams2840]

I love these kinds of videos. The throw back is memory lane.

[@Christa.Francis]

OMG !!! BRINGING ME BACK TO OUR CHILDHOOD !!!... THE CRIMPER !!! AND I TOTALLY REMEMBER THE FRYING SOUND .. AND THE SMELL !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Pepeanut]

This is so cool!! You did a great job! And so nice to do that as a family. Good on Lola that she let you do all that with her! And by the way - she's growing up fast!!

[@AAngela222]

Wow! Lola is looking so grown! You totally nailed this look! Lol so awesome!

[@TheSecondChanceFamily]

Oh my gosh... I have to go back and look at my old 80s pictures. This is hilarious.

[@starberryblossom7162]

This would be perfect for an 80s Dance!

[@nancyk6229]

Dare I admit? I totally had that EXACT Vuarnet t-shirt!!! It was my FAVORITE and regret that it is no longer around. Way to rock it Lola!

[@phyllisstein1837]

Yep. Spot on. I graduated in the 80s and this video is 100% I'm having flash backs. Thanx 😁

[@RyuFalchionX]

"The higher the hair, the closer to god." That was excellent.

[@jjthek]

I never tire of the crimped hair look-i love it. I used to crimp my doll's hair every time I styled it. 😂

[@skylad27]

You should do Penn Charles next!

[@mxlancholicrose]

Good idea!

[@madelyn4236]

Lola looks so cute!!

[@stevereynolds1821]

The 80s rocked!

[@mimiv548]

Our trendy clothes back then was Outback Red (The Limited) Express clothing, swatch watches, Flash Dance clothes ripped up sweat shirts, parachute pants, acid washed jeans, leg warmers, stirrup pants with oversized shirts with shoulder pads with matching socks and Reboks. The punk types wore Converse. I had this girl in one of my classes who wore blue mascara like every day. Those banana clips made my hair look awesome, but couldn't get to stay in right lol

[@hanneyjo1]

I'm glad it's not just my son that walks around with one sock. 😂

[@Kyndal.leanne]

“Is that good for her hair” “Probably not” “Ok” 😂

[@WendyCrafts]

This brought back so many memories lol....I forgot I used to use one of those hair combs all the time too.

[@Mumsy711]

Full foundation, powder, diamond ear ring in one ear, cross in the other, blush, lipstick highlighted with pink or yellow to make it shine in lights. Then you got 80's

[@kathyforgues6994]

As a kid who grew up in the 80’s and who grew up in NJ, loved it!!!!

[@judithharley9236]

The crimper. I just can't. It was my everyday go-to in high school. And Aqua Net! It's good for killing spiders too.

[@JoMarieM]

I grew up in the 80s and remember everything mentioned in the video except for the jeans. I had crimped hair for a time, and I still have my crimping iron somewhere in the house, but I have no idea if it still works! I also remember wearing slouch socks, scrunchies, leg warmers over jeans, and long shirts worn over stirrup pants!

[@TheFlyingmartini]

Totally fer sure, dude! Kim, I love your sweater.

[@michellem9444]

The jeans roll! I remember doing that with my jeans! Lola is such a trooper for putting up with this... LOL Now it's time to give your son a Flock of Seagulls hairdo! Don't forget the guys in the 80's wore just as much hair product as the girls... LOL

[@scooterkenna7727]

I'm getting ideas for Spirit week at my school, 80s day. Gosh, I can't wait to laugh at everybody!

[@cloudbear393]

Poor Lola, she looked terrified that her hair was (practically) gonna be burned off!!!

[@beesings448]

the outfit actually looked totally cute lol.

[@sammiewatson6957]

ohh the memories lol , i laughed til i cried

[@sherribaker1546]

This really took me back! For sure!!!

[@LilLoopie]

I haven’t made it through all of your videos yet, but I’m watching out for the leg warmers over the pants! 😂😁❤️😎

[@cb142]

All the "O" ring bracelets. My daughter loved the scrunches.She looks absolutely ready to go dancing to Whitney Houston, I Wanna Dance With Somebody or Duran Duran.

[@jepcozenith40]

My friend in high school (class of 86) started developing hearing loss. Cause... A build up of Aquanet in her ears. No lie.

[@kyragrayc]

We had 80s day at my school last year and my mom did this to me and I was like WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!?! 😂

[@bellawahbeh2944]

at 3:33, Kim looks like D.J. from "Fuller House"

[@evaberanek2102]

I see it!

[@forestgreen41]

Just like Jem and the holograms!! LOL!! I loved that cartoon!!!

[@nikkig4847]

I love it she looks like a kid having fun w style

[@ruthdelacey5473]

Lola is totally rocking the 80s look! Is she taller than Kim?? WOW

[@cmar4076]

That was actually spot-on! She looked, like, totally awesome! The 80’s ruled 🤘🏻

[@leilamanchino]

I’d honestly love this because I’m obsessed with the 80’s

[@piecesbyel7631]

i watched this with my mom who was born in the 80's and she loved it 😂

[@Daiseehead]

Wow, this brings back some memories! ☺️

[@mergurburger]

Brings back memories....

[@mimzy8beeps]

I'm watching this 3 years later and the whole look is amazing now ha

[@9lavender]

Nailed the soundtrack on this one. "And catch it." 😄😄😄

[@tamis479]

You and Candace Cameron Bure could pass as sisters! That's a compliment! You both are gorgeous!

[@sliouu]

I love you guys!!! Keep making vids!!

[@StayzeeDaFirst]

Omg i loved it, it brought me back!!!!

[@pennyp7382]

2:55 The look of genuine disgust and horror. 😆 Thanks for the laughs! It's what you were going for. As a teenager in the 90's it's so strange to see the style back in full force in the mall currently. I'm 40 and don't miss being younger.😆 🤣 😂 I know you ordered most of that nostalgia on the internet. 😆

[@justt9507]

I totally related to it ALL! I MISS THE Z CAVARICHIES AND THE BOTTOM ROLL ON THE PANTS!!! LOL is awesome! 😁😆

[@sarahd1706]

She looks so cute! Perfect re-creation.
