OPEN POST: Field Trip to the 80s. The Year is Pop Culture 1985

Gather hookers. It is time for another field trip to a bygone era this time, and we are all getting in the Back To The Future Delorean and traveling to the era of towers of hair that rivaled Marie-Antoinette during her heyday when she had a head. There was the Brat Pack and Bruce Springsteen, chain restaurants were booming, fast food was a staple, Mexican Pizza made a big debut, and Miami Vice fashions were still rocking.

Over 22 years, Crundwell embezzled upwards of $53 million and lavishly funded her lifestyle. She established and operated RC Quarter Horses, a renowned horse breeding enterprise, with her horses achieving an impressive 52 world championships. Additionally, she acquired a 45-foot motorhome and indulged in extended vacations.
