Looking back now, so many of those things that we thought were cool... just weren't! Have you looked at pictures of yourself from back then? I have absolutely no problem admitting that I had the crimped hair, leg warmers, and used to wear these huge bows right on top of my head so that I looked like a helicopter ready to take off! I wish that I had a scanner so that I could show off my pictures from waaaaaay back then! Those were the days, people, those were the days that we all wish we could live over again.
I had a great time reminiscining, and hope you did too! If you want to keep going, check out this totally awesome site http://www.tripletsandus.com/80s/index.htm
Till next time, dude, peace out! (hehehe, had to be said!)
Update: Forgot to add this one to the list, don't know how I could have forgotten it: THE MULLET!

OMG!! I love that stuff. Although I was born in 1980 I can remember all of that. Dirty Dancing, the best movie ever. I know everyword by heart. Saturday mornings I wouls watch Gem and the Hollograms and Strawberry Shortcake. You also forgot my little pony. Did you ever get a hair crimper for christmas? I did..lol
I used to LOVE having my hair crimped! And there's so much more that I wanted to put on the list, but then it would have gone on and on and on and I was getting tired! So I decided to stop at 30... although I just remembered another thing - the side pony tail! Did you ever do that?!
P.S. I had a few ponies and a strawberry shortcake doll too!
mel didnt you pinch ma fame lp and what about the wombles
huh, I thought the Fame record was mine.... as I smile innocently! And I had forgotten all about the Wombles, but then I got thinking about them and Worzil Gummidge, Orville, Rolf Harris and Blue Peter... so many things to love about the 80'S!
