Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is keeping the 80s spirit alive for as long as she is giving herself that pleasure. The newest vibrant throwback on Instagram, a teaser for an episode of her podcast, transports one back to a time of big hair and even bigger hits. Teddi and a friend saltously strike 80stastic poses for a splash of nostalgia.

Her outfit is loud and proud and magnificently 80s: a pink-green-yellow-white multidimensional tracksuit with happy face slippers to sprinkle on the whimsy. The other girl cuts a dark-and-svelte figure in a black top with printed lips-that fits the retro profile. Here’s to double black doors behind them, arms stretched wide apart, smiling even wider as though stepping out of a time machine.
The caption reads “Stop the insanity?! We could never!” and is a reference to the famous line by Susan Powter and teases the next episode of Teddi’s podcast Diamonds in the Rough, basically an appetizer of the newest Real Housewives of Orange County drama. She cheekily asks her followers, “What’s your fave 80s song?” The hashtag #staytoxic completes the trio, signifying Teddi living loud and proud.
An instant fan rave took over the comments; “The Authority Song!🎶 Ladies, you rook mahvelous,” while another couldn’t quite hold back, “This songggggg 😂😂😂😂 I fricken loved ONJ back in the day ❤️” (In case you don’t know: ONJ means Olivia Newton-John, an 80s icon). The vibe was contagious, and others added in with their favorites like Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and “Manic Monday” by The Bangles.
The praises for the fashions went into deep territory, “living for the side pony sooo chic,” one comment read, while another hilariously questioned whether Teddi was truly wearing a “Hot Dogger outfit,” referring to those infamous 80s workout wear. This entire episode just highlights the kinship shared between Teddi and her followers, given that a joke was made about naming their children after both her and Tiffany.
But hey, the love was out pouring for more than just the fashion and music. The supportive messages started flowing, “Beautiful photo of two wonderful ladies ❤️ Erika your like a queen, Teddy your a strong warrior and we as fans are so proud of you ❤️ never give up x.” Then another opened up a path of “love and healing energy,” saying how much Teddi’s authenticity resonates with her audience.
Humor must be infused in every Teddi post somehow, and they delivered. “Susan Powter could nevah! 🤣❤️,” quipped one, while another observed, “The insanity will never be stopped baby,” which pretty much sums up how Teddi lives her life.

Interspersed with her podcast, reality TV beginnings, and unapologetic-Odyssey of Tina Turner 1980s love, Teddi keeps things interesting. This post is telling that there’s no slowing, anyway-when it’s this much fun, why would you put a hold on that insanity?
