naming a new challenge piece

As I mentioned last week, the March EBW Challenge theme is Fashion Through the Ages.  I decided to make an 80's bangle because I thought it would be fun to work with bright colors.  I also wanted to experiment with a fully fringed bangle.  I didn't find quite as many neon shades as I hoped I would, but I'm still very pleased with the result.
The only downside is that this lovely (crazy?) piece doesn't have a name yet.  I would like to include an 80's movie or song title/quote or something along those lines, but I'm open to other suggestions, too.  Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas!

  3. How about "Rainbow Connection" by Paul Williams and sung by Kermit the frog in the Muppet movie 1979. Your bracelet definately connects the wearer to the rainbow!

  4. How about -
    "Like Totally Tubular True Colors."

    Like Totally and Tubular from 80's slang & True Colors from the Cyndi Lauper song released in 86

  6. I'm terrible with song titles, but the colors remind me of Mardi Gras.

  12. Thank you so much for all of the feedback and suggestions! I think that I've finalized the name. I'll have it up later this week.

    Deb, I'd definitely like to make other versions of this. A turquoise one would be great!
