OMG, I did have zipper earrings! And I had a lovely cowl neck sweater that I would wear with my gaucho pants and boots! Also had the Dorothy Hamill hairdo! The Bub's daddy gum that we used to try to chew all at once.

lol, it is nice to see this kind of thread again, we had one a year or 2 ago and it was fun.

You can guess my age because I remember almost everything on the first post.

Add me to the list of people who loved "Love Baby Soft", and I didn't think it was still around.

I'm a child of the 80's too! I can't believe some of the things I forgot about: like Debbie Gibson's perfume-Electric Youth-HA HA HA!!!! And Jem! "Jem..is truly outrageous...truly truly truly outrageous..."

Did anyone ever watch "GLO?"

When the only way you could get one of those "new beanie babies", was to get a Happy Meal at McDonald's.

And of course, Cabbage Patch Kids!!!! And their "pet" - the Koosha!


How about HUGE oversized shirts with wild designs on them that you wore over leggings?

Or the really WIDE elastic belts that went with said outfits? The kind that made you look like you just won a wrestling match.

Or the jean shorts that buttoned up past your (very flat and trim) tummy, and then flapped back down.

The first L.A. Gear's with the black stripe thingy on the side.

I think someone already mentioned Acid-Washed Jeans.

Oh Aus, the memory of the class ring and the angora that you would brush to get it to look just so.

( ACK! Mware! )

I had Kangaroo tennis shoes that had a pocket on the outside of each shoe that closed with velcro. I kept my house key in there as I was a latch key kid, lol.

Mine were blue.

I remember cutting all my sweatshirts and wearing them off the shoulder like Jennifer Beales in Flashdance. I remember everyone wearing 501's, Izod shirts and vans. I remember when I thought Lionel Richie was cool and Punk Rock was new.

I know what you mean Aus10. The main reason I am familiar with a lot of these things is because my kids were into them. LOL
