I was watching remembering the 80s on VH1 lately and tooo much deja vu on this show but my question was this

who owned those nylon barrel purses or a velcro nylon clutch bag which was usually designed with either rainbows or unicorns or the tropical palm tree design

also recall those fashionable jelly heels and sandals

or did you have either a sweater or a shirt with the big rainbow from one sleeve to another

ok who had : Dittos, Jordache, G Vanderbilt, chem de fir, sassoon?

did you have the vans slip on or tie ups

AND

Did you have the nylong 2 tone colored dolphin shorts or Anything OP

I used to have a bunch of those rubber or 'virgin' bracelets and charm necklaces.

I also had slinky bracelets and necklaces

Anyone remember these two clothing stores: Ups n Downs and Merry Go Round?

Eeew, jellies! What a stupid invention when you think about it. First of all, the rubber straps cut into my feet, then my feet would get all sweaty and they'd slip and squish around in the shoes. They were darn cheap, though. Guess that's why I wore them.

Ahhh, Gloria Vanderbilt jeans! Those were my first major fashion purchase ever! I worked the summer between 7th and 8th grades cleaning the offices at my uncle's auto-body shop on weekends and answering phones during the week. Right before school started, my mom took me to Kaufmann's (Pittsburgh's frou-frou department store) and I shelled out $48.00 for a pair of dark blue jeans with gold stitching and Gloria's signature in gold on my back right pocket and, of course, the embroidered swan on the front pocket. That was SO MUCH MONEY to me at the time but, man, I wanted those jeans.

I had all of those things too. Of course the cool thing to do with the rubber bracelets was to kind of link them together so you had one bracelet on each side of your wrist.

And I shopped at both those stores.

I saw a high school freshmen with those on the other day, and the only thing I could think of was that thread about young people having sex and the game that went along with those. I kept getting shivers when I was thinking about that 14 year old girl having sex. Although, I don't really think that that's why she was wearing them, being that they were almost all the same color...unless she already had a favorite "act"
