Good afternoon, everyone! My group at school is planning a "Blast to the Past" party. We're trying to focus on the late 80's -early 90's. For those of you who'd like to reminisce, please tell me what you miss the most about those days, your favorite TV show, your favorite outfit/hairstyle, and anything else you want to share. Thanks!
