If You Love The 80’s, ‘Mustang Deborah’ Is A Must Follow On Social Media
I miss the 80’s! The fashion, the music, the simplicity of life, the lack of technology….I can go on and on! One of my favorite accounts on Instagram belongs to comedian/actress Casey Dressler. She got my attention because of her character ‘Mustang Deborah’ who is the poster girl of the 80’s. Dressler definitely isn’t old enough to be a Gen X’er, but man does she nail the 80’s vibe with ‘Mustang Deborah’ and another character ‘Donna’ from Hot Looks Salon.
Not only do I love Dressler’s characters, I love her true personality. She’s always responding to the fans on her page, and that goes a long way. Last week, I asked her where she got some cassette tape earrings, and she got back to me quickly. Since I’m going on the 80’s rock cruise ‘Monsters of Rock’ in March, I’m trying to get some 80’s gear together early.
‘Mustang Deb’ is a midwestern girl immersed in 80’s culture. She works at a record store, wears lots of 80’s makeup and clothing, and her boyfriend Phil works at Domino’s Pizza. In addition, she has some rockin’ 80’s hair! Blonde and big. The stories she tells in her videos are hilarious, and she’s perfected 80’s personality. In a post on her Instagram page, she says that the character is inspired by the women in her life.
While ‘Mustang Deb’ is talking, she drops references that you’re familiar with. For instance, in one video she’s talking about her boyfriend ‘Phil’ and is dancing, while mentioning the show ‘Solid Gold’. Loved that show!
Deb drives a white Mustang and has a vast array of 80’s stories. If you’re a Gen X’er, you immediately flash back to the 80’s while listening to her chat. One of the best things about the 80’s is the music, and ‘Mustang Deb’ always has a signature 80’s classic playing in the background of her videos. Usually, the song corresponds to the story she’s telling. ‘Mustang Deb’ and I would have definitely been friends in the 80’s, no question!
Donna from ‘Hot Looks Salon’ is my other favorite character that Dressler plays. Donna is the owner of a hair salon, and most of us went to a salon similar back in the day. The ‘chair pump-up’ is dead on, and I love when she does that. Donna is bold and is honest, and tells you like it is. She reminds me of myself! LOL! Her clothing makes a statement, and her makeup is always flawless. Chatting with customers while telling her assistant ‘Steph’ to get her a Diet Coke. Nailing the 80’s salon vibe, while looking flawless!
‘Donna’ and ‘Deb’ get most of their clothing, makeup, hair, and accessories from Amazon, giving you a link if you’re interested in buying something. Lately, fans are buying both characters items on Amazon and sending the gifts to Dressler. THAT is a sign that folks are loving what you do!
If you’re on Instagram and/or TikTok, and dig the 80’s, you gotta follow Dressler. Daily I watch her videos as they always make me smile. Growing up in the 80’s was awesome, and I love that I can flashback to that time with Dressler. Good stuff!
