Take a Trip Back to the 80's: Attend FX’s Snowfall Event

In celebration of the premiere of FX’s new drama Snowfall, the network is hosting an immersive 80’s themed throwback event in DTLA this weekend

This is a sponsored blog; while the views expressed here were genuinely mine, consideration was paid to me by FX to review this product.

I grew up in the eighties, a time of excess in fashion, drugs and hip-hop music. The 80’s were all about bigger and bolder is better, think shoulder pads, bright fluorescent colors and big hair. As I write this post, I am smiling as I recall my exacting hair styling technique and the specific way that I sprayed hairspray while I dried my hair in order to make my bangs stand straight up! And don’t even get me started on the day glow vibrant pink nail polish and lipsticks that I used to wear. OMG it was fun but SO over-the-top!

Well if you are a fan of the eighties like I am, then you are going to be excited that this era is making a comeback in Downtown Los Angeles this upcoming weekend. The FX Network is hosting a fabulous FREE immersive 80’s throwback experience in celebration of the upcoming premiere of their gritty new drama series Snowfall, which premieres on Wednesday, July 5 at 10 PM ET/PT.
