Photo Booth Pictures PAGE 11
Of course it wouldn’t be a 80’s kind of party without a fun photo booth! We brought the fun, and you brought your mullets…
Together we dared to relive the greatest decade ever!
Some enjoyed being in front of the cameras so much, they should consider a career in acting. The ladies tried their best to frighten off somebody, but
to no avail. Beauty could not chase away the beast.
PAGE 12 Strictly Party Time!
PAGE 13
Exercise the facial muscles, grin, frown, smile, make a cross face, pucker face, hug and kiss your darling. Do what you like!!! Use the props like an oversize milkshake, ties or lollipops.
Photo Booth Pictures
Eish, down boy. No spanking allowed in the photo booth, the youngsters are watching. Going mad, safe my china’s and high five’s. Just wonder if
the youngsters remembered not to kiss his buddy’s wife???

Who said a parrot hat cannot be used for a pirate hat? Go for a groupie picture, flower power, Ladies Rule!
Can look like humpty dumpty or a pale dude with afro hair.

PAGE 17 Cars & Bikes of the 80’s.
The days of the 50’s, when the throttle was as a volume control. Some of these cars were just on a wish list. We were young, money was tight,
but life was great. Sarel van der Merwe was untouchable in the Fords.
