Rosie Hosts Reunion
The ClubHouse: Archives: Rosie Hosts Reunion
Demented_Freak | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 01:00 pm     No big fan of Rosie here, but I think she will be a great host of the finale,,,,,at least she is a fan & actually *watches the show*, which should be a pre requisite. I no longer watch the survivors appear on Letterman, it was too painful. |
Mware | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 04:01 pm     See, the thing is, that big hair did work for most people who tried it. I personally blame Jennifer Aniston for its downfall. In the meantime, since this is a Survivor board and all, I really should focus a little more. I think Rosie is a better choice for host than the two dimensional host of the previous reunion shows. |
Pamy | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 07:11 pm     I was just talking about my big hair and black eyeliner earlier today!!!! LOL Moon...Chaka Kahn..Chaka Kahn!!!!! OOOOHHH, now I miss that big hair music too!!!!!! I too was big Star search fan, Brad Garret on Everyone Loves Raymond was winner too! In honor of Rosie we should turn this into an old trivia thread!!

Lurknomore | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 08:55 pm     LOLOL I may miss my big hair, but one good thing to thank that pesky Ms. Aniston for is the $$$ I've saved in perms. And I still fire up the hot curlers now and again too...but it's just not the same (sigh). Let's see what else can the brain cells that still work remember about the 80's...silk replaced polyester (ok not all things were so bad). Anyone else?? |
Fanny | Wednesday, April 24, 2002 - 09:40 pm     I'm so sorry but I still kind of miss Dallas. And my purple eyeshadow with kohl liner. But I don't miss wearing suits and pantyhose and spiked heels to work every day. Now it's like torture if I have to put on a dress! |
Mamaanja | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 06:25 am     Parachute pants!!!!! Domo arigatio Mr. Roboto. Moonlighting. oh, and I'm glad Bryant isn't hosting. |
Shakes | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 07:50 am     80's were just one big party. Rock Me Amadeus. |
Mware | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 08:04 am     And how about those inimitable one hit wonders: Eddie Murphy with (My Girl Wants To)Party All The Time Rockwell (with Michael Jackson on the chorus) with (I Always Feel Like) Somebody's Watching Me and Nena with 99 Red Balloons (or Luftballoons depending upon the radio station) And leg warmers over those spiked heels (loved that look - still do) And pleather jacket and pants sets with lots of zippers on them And... And... (Mware collapses due to reminiscence exhaustion, smiles contentedly to himself, and pulls out a Paula Abdul cassette to listen to so he can "center" himself to get back to work) |
Jewels | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 08:22 am     Anyone else wear blue mascara, eyeliner and eye shadow? Of course I had to have pink lip stick to go with it! How in the world did I ever think that was cool? On the subject....I think Rosie will be a good host, but she really doesn't seem as into Survivor this time as she has been in the past...she is too into the Osbournes now it seems, that's all she talks about. On past Survivors (except Africa, she didn't watch it after they had to drink the blood) she has been so excited when the guest comes on, now she has to look at her notes to remember what she wants to talk to them about and seems a little detached from it. I still think she will be a good host of the show though...at least she has some interest in it! |
Fanny | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 09:53 am     Jewels you must have been beautiful!  |
Mamaanja | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:17 am     I totally forgot about the colored mascara! I had blue, and green. Sister Christian. Late 80's--did anyone else wear their hair in a ponytail held by a barette with a HUGE bow? OH, and uh, yeah, Rosie will probably be better than Bryant. (as long as she keeps her opinions on non-Survivor topics to herself) |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:19 am     For those of you who always wanted big hair, but missed the 80's somehow, here are 7 easy steps to get the look you always dreamed of (LOL!!): Anyone could get big hair (in seven easy steps): all that was needed was hairspray, a teasing comb, and a blow dryer. If you were willing to go an extra step, bleaching your hair with dye or Sun-In would strip the hair of its healthy quality and make it more receptive to the hairspray and the desired look. #1. Have at least one can of either Aqua Net or Rave hairspray (any brand will do, but these were the best). #2. Apply a hearty handful of mousse to your wet hair to prime the hair for the hairspray. #3. Hold head upside down as you run the blow dryer over it, “scrunching” it with your fingers. #4. When hair is almost dry, and with the blow-dryer still going full blast, begin to spray hair with hairspray until you’ve obtained a crispy texture or the can is finished—whichever comes first. #5. Flip head up and fluff out the shaggy ball now known as your head. 6. Nope, not done yet. Take a teasing comb to your bangs. Of course you have bangs…you can’t have big hair if you don’t have bangs. Tease bangs to get them at least half the height of your head. There are several options here: either tease the bangs evenly so you get one big teased ball on your forehead, or you can achieve the more distinctive “side wave” which is essentially a giant tidal wave of hair that lifts high off your forehead and is shellacked to the side. #7. Apply another long and liberal dose of hairspray to discourage even a windstorm from disturbing one little hair. You’re all set…just check the overhead for clearance.

Fanny | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:31 am     You people have made me feel so nostalgic I think I'm going to have to leave work, go home and crank up my Flashdance album. Maybe I'll stop for a can of Rave & do me some big hair for old times sake. Thanks for the memories, Whowhere! I'm still laughing! |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 10:34 am     I was hoping that would bring a chuckle to some of you. I'm still laughing too! |
Squaredsc | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 11:11 am     roflmao, oh my god, now the people i work with think i have totally lost all sense of reality, but do you guys remember this...............headbands!! my cousin's ex-wife still wears one today. i had a purple and gold one, also do you remember feather earnings and headbands, i think i had blue feathers. also this was the beginning for spandex which should have been banned. also anything madonna wore...you must be my lucky star...'cause you shine on me wherever you are...i just think of you...yada yada yada. i suffer from CRS (can't remember sh** and totally lost the words, god i used to sing that song all over the house.....oh, back down memory lane.....

Mware | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 11:13 am     Square - Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight, starlight, star bright, make everything alright - is it coming back to you? |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 11:48 am     Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand....... I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend....(I've always LOVED Prince and still do-sexy little devil) Remember you could play the end backwards and here 'messages'?? Like a virgin.........hey.....touched for the very first time It's a nice day for a white wedding........ Parachute pants, florescent color schemes, tails, headbands/sweatbands (Olivia Newton-John look)Jordache and Sergio Valente jeans, plastic earrings, speed skates, Pac Man, Q-bert and boom boxes. We were so cool!! I, personally had short-spiked Billy Idol hair with a 12" tail down my back. I braided feathers, ribbon, beads or whatever I could find in it. It was beautifus. |
Mware | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 12:09 pm     I want to love you, PYT, pretty young thing.... You need some lovin', TLC, tender lovin' care.. And I'll take you there. Prince rocks!!! Always has, always will. How can you leave me standing....Alone in a world that's so cold...Maybe I'm just too demanding...Maybe I'm just like my father - too bold...Maybe I'm just like my mother...She's never satisfied...Why do we scream at each other...This is what it sounds like When Doves Cry... How about this one - Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to get through this thing called life. Electric word - life - it means forever, and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else - the afterworld. A world of neverending happiness. You can always see the sun - day or night. So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills, you know the one, and have him tell you everything's alright...and if the elevator tries to break you down, go crazy. And really long shirts on girls over stirrup pants with those socks with the lace tops folded down over the high heels, And riding in a Pontiac Fiero with a sportjacket on and the sleeves pulled up over a cantaloupe colored T-Shirt and loafers with no socks. That was cool... |
Squaredsc | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 12:33 pm     ...i'm a sex shooter, shootin' love in your direction....i loved/love purple rain. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 12:58 pm     remember this...i want to see some a**es shakin, i want some perfection.... |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:02 pm     Purple Rain is my all time favorite movie (and an awesome song). Any and everytime I run across it on TV my hubby has a fit because he knows I'm watching. He likes Prince too, but doesn't admit it. He likes Little Red Corvette and the motorcycle he rides on in the movie. What is this thread supposed to be about? Oh yeah, Rosie. We love ya Rosie!! Maybe we should start one called "Take a Trip back to the 80's" |
Moondance | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:03 pm     I dated Mark Brown (they called him Brown Mark though) Prince's old bass player during the Purple Rain years Prince is nice but VERY weird... I LOVE his music!!! |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:03 pm     "We're gonna party like it's 1999!!" |
Mware | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:07 pm     How did we make it through the whole decade with no Survivor??? News was the only "reality TV" we had. Where can we put that 80s thread, Whowhere? This is fun!!! America, have you heard??? A brand new dance - it's called The Bird. Come on now, flap! Hallelujah! Whoa-oa-oa-oa-everybody dance with me, come on now flap! |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:10 pm     VERY cool Moon!! I like 'em weird tho, so that doesn't bother me, as a matter of fact I think 'weird' is a prerequisite for me. I think if he were anything but weird we wouldn't have gotten that great music from him. Computer Blues is a very strange song, but looking back on it, isn't it funny how they sang about computers so long ago?? We've come a LONG way since then! |
Mware | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:10 pm     Moon!!! You're practically famous! Do you still have any of the scrubs he wore? No, really, do you? I won't tell. |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:12 pm     Mware - the first time I saw Purple Rain (in the movie theater) my bestfriend and I stood up and danced in the aisle to that song. Damn - it's a catchy tune! LOL!!! Makes you want to get up and flap your wings!! |
Moondance | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:15 pm     LOL I have some of the picks (not hair) they used in the band... I have some plastic tube bangles he wore... I wore them for years with my one lace glove... gawd someone stop me! I can break dance! Weird is good, Who but I am talking strange weird not fun weird but hey he is a GREAT artist and can be however he wants to be! |
Grooch | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:18 pm     Like Michael Jackson weird? |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:19 pm     Yeah, I thought I lost him after changing his name to 'sign'. I wondered where he was going with that. I imagine he's a bit 'off', but so is Michael Jackson and I love him too!!! Hey guys, I screwed up and started an 80's thread in the Survivor section - I'm hoping an Admin will correct my error. |
Moondance | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:20 pm     Yes G... |
Whowhere | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 01:23 pm     If you still have any of those items, I might be inclined to auction them on ebay (assuming you don't bring them out once in a while and breakdance on the floor with them on). LOL!! |
Urgrace | Thursday, April 25, 2002 - 02:27 pm     Aquanet! My daughter says it's one of her most memorable scents when she thinks of me...Ugh! <she was just a kid of course> Rosie is okay with me. I'm not a regular fan, but do like the way she hosts, and the fact that even though she isn't on the Survivor network, she has the Survivors on her show. |
Pamy | Friday, April 26, 2002 - 06:34 pm     My hair was so big in the 80's that it was out of the frame in my yearbook picture!!!! and I thought i was 'all that, and a bag chips!'...oh wait, I think that is 90's slang..
<---my hair is much better now! |
