    It was just a normal Thursday at the Sydney Airport when American pop icon Cyndi Lauper graced the place with her presence by strolling through. She casually rocked an open denim jacket with a black blouse and matching trousers while adding a black Goonies-themed beanie on top. 

    Going incognito in black glasses with a fiery red lipstick, the 71-year-old star’s ageless look and flawless skin stole the show. The legendary icon wrapped up her Australian Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: Farewell Tour, performing sold-out shows in Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Adelaide, and Perth.

    Cyndi Lauper is a groundbreaking Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning songwriter and performing artist who ruled the music industry for 4 wonderful decades. Some of her hit songs include Time After Time, She’s Bop, and True Colors, which stormed through the charts, but the female anthem Girls Just Wanna Have Fun became a sensation that girls everywhere related to.

    While the song was originally written and performed by Robert Hazard, it was given to Cyndi Lauper, who also changed some of its lyrics

    “They kept telling me to make it a female anthem, and, you know, I was thinking, ‘Okay. I can do that. That would be good.’ But I guess they didn’t realise who they were talking to because I burnt my training bra at the first woman’s demonstration. You know, in ’69, I was there. The song came together, and, you know, the rest is history, I guess,” Lauper told The Project in an interview.

    However, that’s not all, as this multi-talented artist had more to show the world. The musical Kinky Boots, about a Northampton shoe company producing shoes for men with more interesting proclivities, was named Best Musical at the 2013 Tony Awards, where Cyndi Lauper also won the best original score.

    “You can have all the awards in the world, but I got Best Musical, and that means everything to me. All my life, all the record company told me was ‘You’re Cyndi Lauper, you can’t write songs like that!’ They wanted me to write Girls Just Want to Have Fun over and over again. I didn’t want to. I think my anger fuelled me,” Lauper expressed in an interview with the Telegraph.
