Now I REALLLY feel old! That's okay...those were the good days... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

How about this: does anyone remember having a bang in the front that curved to the side, and people either : put those wave clips in it, or a lot of hair spray it so that the curve wouldn't move?

I don't know if I'm explaining it right, so someone let me know if they understand what I'm explaining...

Gul, wat chu know' bout breakin???? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif Those were the movies right?! I used to have Breakin 1 and 2, but couldn't tell you the first thing about them now!
PrettyPetite, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about: where you have the 2 layer bangs? one to cover the forehead and the other to float above them???? rothflol!!!

And Dirty Dancing is STILL the movie! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/cool.gif

Remember Chaka Khan's video with all the break dancers "I feel for you"?

How about or the two-toned jeans and four pairs of socks(two on each foot) to match your outfit...

What about that cheap perfume "Exclaimation"

the Micheal Jackson jackets and purses...

And once again...The BK(British Knights)sneakers!

*I don't remember these things..I've only heard about them. I'm waaaay too young!!* http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

Well, check it
Back in the days before this began
He usually tried to talk to this girl name Fran

Talkin' about "N*gger, please, you work for UPS"

Okay, I am digging the list... because I can remember
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 -- dodododododo... *jazz interlude* SEVEN!!

..... ahhhh yes .....

The good ol' days!!!

And y'all remember BEADS on the BRAIDS!!! Don't play!!!!

... and SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK!!!

Ok, you have all made me feel old. But let me add to the list:

Do you remember spray painted jeans or jumpers with your name or picture etc. all over it. You know you wore them.

Do you remember the song "Supersonic", the "s" is for super and the "u" is for unique, the "p" is for perfection ......I believe that song came out in the eighties.

Do you remember the show "Solid Gold" with Dionne Warwick? I know I am not the only one who watched it.

Ha, Ha, Ha, HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
