As many of you know, I went to see Pat Benatar last weekend, and she was fab-o. She pulled out all the songs that I expected to hear and her voice is still amazing. (Her hubby, Neil Giraldo, is totally white-haired now, but still kind of hot.) Her "dancing" hasn't changed or improved at all, but singers who can actually sing don't have to dance like trained monkeys. (This rule completely excuses Michael Johns' dazzling array of hilarious white man moves.)
One song that was unsurprisingly absent from Pat's setlist was "Little Too Late," a favorite of mine from 1982's Get Nervous. I remember seeing this video and wanting her outfit soooo badly. Well, I had a hot pink shirt (who didn't?) but my Dad wasn't about to buy a 9 year-old an expensive leather jacket, tiny miniskirt and pink high heels.
Some years later, I impulsively bought a pair of hot pink 3-inch heels. I put them on once and nearly died on the short trip from my closet to my bedroom door. Just one more waste of money in this girl's life.

hmmm, I think I had black ones.
I had white 3-inch heels with a bow on the toes... omg they hurt.
Did you feel like a nine-year old all over again?
It doesn't surprise me that she still puts on a good show. I am guessing that "The Ooh Ooh Song" probably didn't make her set list either. That's another underappreciated song from the Benatar catalog.
I bet Pat puts on a great show - were there more women in the audience than guys? She'll be in my area soon.
Just sayin.
I just saw Pat on a soap opera, she still looks damn good.
PS
3 inch pink heels sound deadly! I just may have bought them too!
