80's Trivia

[KristeyK 8]

So was I the only one who looked like a cross between a rocker/Madonna reject/preppie??? rofl. It all depended on the day of the week as to how I dressed. Monday it would be my Guess jeans with the bow at the ankle, my Izod Polo shirt and white Keds with two pairs of socks. Tuesday would be my acid wash Levis with a concert t-shirt that was all cut up and Wednesday could be the Flashdance sweatshirt with the legwarmers...EW!:frown:

Do yall remember units. They didn't last long. They were knit bodysuit things with different colored knit belts, etc. You could mixmatch to create lots of outfits. They were pretty expensive. In the 8th grade I went to Dallas with a friend. I spent all the money my mom gave me on a unit. My friend and i were going to bring them back to our little country town and make them all the craze. Well, it was purple and soooo ugly. I wore it twice and then cut it with scissors and told mom it was an accident so not to have to wear it again.

What about My Buddy?

Remember the jingle?

"My Buddy, My Buddy, Wherever I go, He goes.

My Buddy, My Buddy, I'll take him everywhere that I go.

My Buddy and me like to climb up a tree, My Buddy and me...we're the best friends that can be!"

Last night dh and I started watching the movie Kickin it Old School with our 9 year old son. It is based on the 80's and is crackin me up. We are going to finish it when dh gets home from work today. I haven't seen anything on there yet that hasn't been mentioned already, but it is soooo funny. If you haven't seen it, then it is worth renting.

What about those silly little Halloween costumes for kids that had those plastic blow-up heads. Not a trivia question, but I can't remember what they were called. Anyone remember?

OMG...I used to collect jelly bracelets, and I loved those glitter ones...until the crappy seam busted and glitter got EVERYWHERE.

What about charm bracelets/necklaces. Not like the sterling silver ones today, but the plastic ones that you could get all kinds of little charms for! My favorite charm was a toilet with the lid that opened and closed.

Wow! I can't believe all of the things listed here. What memories it all brings back. Those charm necklaces - I searched for them on ebay, you can buy a necklace and 13 charms for about $50.00 now.

Do any of you remember all the wierd different color earrings we use to wear, that matched out outfits? Or how about the big pocketbooks with the big sequins on them?

And.....my curling Iron had burnt hair spray on it from me trying to make "big hair".

I have a pic I want to send you guys, how do I insert it into a message?
