I can't believe I forgot...

Late 80's....

NKOTB

I was in Jr. High and Jordan Knight was the love of my life. hahahah!

I got to go to one of their concerts at Busch Stadium, and we had to take binoculars.... *LOL*

They are still hot you know!!!!


I also remember the McKids clothing line that mcdonalds created in partnership with sears in the 80's.

Who had a pair of high-top atheltic shoes? Or the converse "cheerleading" shoes where you could change the colors in it? Who owned a crimping iron for their hair?

Oh and The Ghostbusters!!!

I wore high-tops! Didn't need a crimping iron -- too much natural crimp.

Do you remember when Elizabeth Taylor did her cameo on GH as one of the Cassidines? She put a curse on Luke and Laura.

Banana Hair clips and off the shoulder t=shirts!

High tops, yep. And Facts of Life "When the boys you used hate you date..." They were the same age as me on the show so they graduated from high school around the same time that I did in reality. I remember bawling my eyes out during that episode as it hit me that my friends and I would be scattering all over the place soon.

Two of the things we all tried to accomplish: Being able to sing all the words to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" and identifying every artist in "We Are the World"
I could do that latter, but never got the former completely right.

New Edition
Robert Palmer (remember the girls in his videos?)
Kajagoogoo
Purple and hot pink eye shadow (Wet N Wild Brand)
Mickey's mousercise
Young MC (Bust a Move)


dances:
Walk like and egyptian

the snake
the locomotion (remade by kylie minogue)
the safety dance

Tom Cruise dancing around in his underwear in Risky Business

Yeah, somehow that ended up on my Pandora station the other day...WTF??

Sadly, there are times I miss these, they were the perfect remedy for "bad hair days". :p

Are you sad because you can't find them or because they're not fashionable?... 'cause they've got them over here. I can send you one. :p

To go along with the accessory craze, I remember the shirt slides to create a "t-shirt tail". They had them in all colors, plastic and metal... they were totally tubular, man.

Not to mention hair scrunchies. They had to match your outfit.

And colored socks! I had to match my socks to my shirt. I also loved anything Hypercolor. I wish they would bring hypercolor back. Of course I had they hypercolor socks to match all my tee's.

Benetton brand shirts as well as the duffle bag used as a bookbag was popular.

Do they still make ocean pacific?


Nickelodeon had that Pinwheel, maple Town, You cant Do that on Television shows.

I remember MTV had that game show called " remote control"

I remember when MTV had music videos - anyone else remember that???

No one's mentioned:

Hair metal bands
Headbanger's Ball

When MTV had VJs that did more than just host a show.
Choose or Lose

A lot of the original Vj's are on sirius satellite radio now (and I would suspect on XM as well can anyone confirm that?)

I remember the funny videos by DJ Jazzy jeff and fresh Prince

I remember "hands Across America"

Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Tretorn tennis shoes with turquoise or hot pink accents
Thursday Night TV: Cosby, then Family Ties
Puffy paint for t-shirts
Grey and pink worn together, even for lettered sweats
Hunter's Run -- The Limited's knock off of Polo
Drop-waist dresses
Coach bags that were all leather, and the wildest color available was red

Hey! I still wear those!!!
They are making the classic Coaches again

My thoughts exactly!

And VJs
JJ Jackson (RIP)
Martha Quinn
Mark Goodman
Nina Blackwood
