I remember going to the drive-in with my parents & sister to see The Rescuers. That would have been 1977. Wonderful memories!!

Mamie, I just cracked up laughing about sneaking a person into the drive-in in the trunk. That really brought back memories! This whole thread has brought back memories. I practically bathed myself in Jean Nate. I loved it when Love's Baby Soft came out in a lemon fragrance, too. Did anyone else rush home from school to see Dark Shadows? It came on at 3:30, so I had to hustle to make it in time and yes, I did dance the hustle. I also remember that my brother got kicked out of a teen dance club for doing the Dirty Dog dance. I got my hiphuggers at the Army/Navy store and I put studs on them by hand. That was hard work and I sure would have loved to have had a Bedazzler back them. I wore peasant shirts and halter tops(of course, I put the halter top in my purse and only put it on after I was away from the house because my father would have never let me out of the door if I was wearing it). I made love bead necklaces and braided friendship bracelets. I wore my hair long and straight and often had little braids tied with ribbons on the sides. I wore a POW/MIA bracelet, too. I was devastated when I lost it one night and I feel guilty that I can't even remember my soldier's name.

Azriel, Oh remember love beads... I had some nifty wooden ones. They went great with my granny-gowns. Anyone remember granny-gowns? I wore my hair long and parted in the middle. I looked like a folks-singer. LOL. I remember Dark Shadows, but didn't really watch it much. My thing was to watch the Mod Squad. Oh I dreamed of waking up once morning and looking just as fresh and pretty and waspy (LOL) as Julie. Big sigh. And the Monkees... while everyone else was going for the Beatles, I liked the goofy Monkees. (Backed a losing horse there, but it was fun.) I did a phone interview with Davy Jones years later. He was in a Florida hotel room and he was watching his daughters out in the pool from his window. Sweet fellow with a GREAT, sexy accent! Oh, and I so loved Carole King... I wore out her Tapestry record one summer. Drove my dad nuts with it. LOL. I also loved the 5th Dimension, and the Mama's and the Papa's. And the Supremes, but that might be the 60's...?

Azriel, I forgot all about going to the army surplus store! Ours was called Jack and Pat's and we always got our jeans there! I used to sneak my halter top too! My mom made a lot of them for me but it was a no no to wear them anywhere but home. Little did she know... Love beads, puka shells, turquoise jewelery, rings made from spoons.

Puka shells!!!! I almost forgot about them. You just had to have a puka shell necklace! Mame, I loved Carole King, too. My "first love" moved to Colorado and I would listen to 'So Far Away' over and over and cry. Speaking of my "first love", did you have friends with stupid hippie nicknames? My 'first love' was nicknamed Sundown. I also knew people who gave themselves nicknames like Hawkeye and Rainbow. I watched the Monkees, but never liked Davy Jones because I thought he was too short and boyish looking. My sister and I used to watch "Here Come the Brides" every week and while my sister and it seemed everyone else was crazy about Bobby Sherman, I was crazy about David Soul. I guess I liked the "older" men. Lol!

Az, I had a HONKIN' crush on David Soul, til I heard on the news he was in trouble for assaulting his girlfriend. Also Mickey Dolenz was my fave Monkee. (Interviewed his daughter Ami by phone when she was on General Hospital many moons ago.)

Colour My World was always the last song that you danced to at the high school dance.

Azriel, you just made me laugh with the wierd names...I was a total Hippie,in some ways still em,just not so intense...had hairy legs,arm pits,skinny dipped and camped on the side of the river for weeks at a time.. one whole summer one yr. Delivered one of my girlfriends baby on our farm, but it was our plan. Most of my frends had been in vietnam and I wore bangles made from brass bomb casing(made by the nam woman) from the war, that they brought to me,and they would tell me stories about the war that still haunt me today.....I had (and still do)have frends with names Tamato,Freedom,Sunshine,...My dogs name was Rontoo..(from the movie-Island of the blue dolphin) I loved moccasins and worked as a seamstress in a factory that made leather products and so I had tons of scraps and made so many cool things with leather and beads.. oh wow, to many things to remember...but really fun remembering.....Oh, Maria Muldair,Joan Collens,Emmy Lou Harris,Cat Stevens,Al Green, Earth Wind and Fire,James Brown..Ik and Tina Turner..Lenard Skynard,James Taylor,...and on and on....

Rave Perms - I fried my hair to pieces one time because I thought I would tan while the perm was processing. HUGE mistake and the end of my long hair.

I forgot all about Rave perms! I remember using Sun-In or lemon in my hair in the summer, hoping for highlights.

Don't feel bad, Jimmer. I have Abba in my CD changer in the jeep right now, along side Queen, Steve Miller Band and Andre Boceli. Good mixture, huh?

Remember Mrs. Beasley? I used to take her glasses off and wear them! LOL! Good times. She was my best friend and had the place of honor amongst my other dolls. Heres a site that is sure to bring back memories... http://www.feelingretro.com/view_toy.cfm?id=7
