Ranking Our Favorite Stars From the ‘80s

Written by: Malik

Every decade gives us new faces and fads to follow. But for many people across the globe, few have as many iconic stars as the ’80s. After all, the ’80s gave us such Hollywood stars as Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, but there were so many more actors that were at the time the idols we all pinned up on the wall.

Where are they now? Let’s take a look at some of our favorite stars from the ’80s and what they are up to today.

It is safe to bet that this yard sale had a good turnout thanks to this $40 jumbo Fabio cardboard cutout. This was definitely a genius marketing strategy.

Garage sales are a great way to get rid of unwanted household items and an even greater way to score some cash. We found this pink yard sale sign in a small Arizona neighborhood and couldn’t help but take a quick snap. “Awesome crap this way” shows potential customers that you’ve got a good sense of humor and they’ll be more inclined to pay a visit your yard, knowing you’re a funny salesman/woman.

38. Ally Sheedy

Um… We’re not exactly sure what the artist’s intentions were here, but we can definitely say that this chair isn’t particularly inviting. This woman kind of looks like she’s saying throw your hands in the air like you just dont careeee

Not only will this odd cactus child creep you the hell out, but it will also cost you a whopping $10 to get your hands on it. We’re not certain why anyone would pay that sum, let alone take this monster home for free, but it may have had sentimental meaning to someone once upon a time. Lol! Perhaps the owner used this doll to scare off crows from his garden or just simply enjoyed freaking out the mailman.

36. Tempestt Bledsoe

This yard sale probably wasn’t a long time coming, but we’re guessing that when the creator of the sign discovered her cheating husband, she was ready for sweet revenge. Classic post-cheating activities typically include tears, yelling, clothing bonfires, and belongings chucked out the window. However, in this case, wifey (not for long) decided not only to punish him but to also to collect a profit along the way. Perhaps her plan was to purchase a ticket Vegas to drown in her sorrows.

This puzzling piece of “artistry” surely has us raising a brow or two. Seemingly made out of clay, this alien head looks like it’s been smothered in mayonnaise and we’re unsure of how we’ll sleep tonight. It’s unclear if the artist had intentions of creating a monster or if he was simply trying to create the face of a man and messed up big time. If you look at it deep in the eyes, you may be able to find beauty… Afterall, all creations deserve to be loved.

It seems The dude who put this sign up didn’t have the patience to whip out some colorful markers and design a vibrant yardsale sign. However, the guy sure has a good sense of humor, convincing us his goods are the real thing. Regardless, he’s managed to crack us up using only six words. Afterall, everybody enjoys an occasional dose of good yardsale sh*t, as long as it doesn’t actually taste like poo.

Being a mom ain’t an easy task or a cheap investment and the moment you become a parent, good luck avoiding the digits in your bank account balance slowing fading into the distance. Between the clothes, the toys, and diapers, you will be spending more money on your kids than you planned. But the cherished moments of watching your child taking its first steps and pronouncing its first word, surely makes every penny worth it. We can see here a mommy who’s reached her maximum capacity and is ready to get rid of that “baby crap”. We sure hope though, the items don’t actually smell like poo.

If you’re wondering how to get your hands on one of these totally rad NSYNC candles, get your butt over to a garage sale and you just might find another one. We’re assuming whoever chucked this red NSYNC candle to the yard-sale pile moved on from his/her boy-band days and the person who bought it is still a devoted fan. What we’re really wondering is how much this waxy thing sold for and why it was discontinued, to begin with.
