I totally forgot something else...
You thought you were cool because you emulated Debbie Gibson and Tiffany. You even wore big earrings and wore your hair like them. You got excited when their new tape came out because now you could play it on your WALKMAN. |

Back then my hair wouldn't do that and I was devastated. I also was incapable of wearing a banana clip. Now I am so thankful because there are no incriminating pictures. (Except for those in my neon outfit.:rolleyes: ) ETA: I went to Europe when I was 15, and in Switzerland, Swatches were only about $5 so I bought 4 or 5 (and wore them at the same time!!) |

We're just having a little fun here. And by the way, I was 7 in 1976, but no, I have never snorted coke at the China Club, or anywhere else. That's why I can remember the 80s. ETA: One of my favorite movies from the 80s is "Rudy" but it isn't about you. :) |
Hey everybody, THE 80s SUCKED. KTHXBI.

Those "clown suit" outfits (don't know what else they were called) that was made of a very floral print, all one piece, and had bands at the sleeves and at the ankles of the legs, but then was baggy everywhere else. Looked like a clown suit. Wear em' with flats and you were dressed up for school. (That might have been late 80's/very early 90's though).

That, and everything had a "splattered paint" effect. I remember this one dress I have (I actually think I wore it to my Kindergarten graduation) that was acid washed denim with paint splatters. That, and tons of cheesy pre-teen books that all deal with the outcast kid suddenly understood by the rest of her school while remaining with her outcast friends. I swear I read about 10 books that all had that theme. |
Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys...
The cool thing to do was the 'tight roll' of the jeans. Ya folded them over and rolled your jeans up. I wanted to be Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future. I thought he was so cool. |
