Flashback Friday: I luv the 80's

[ThetaPrincess24]

Toys: Cabbage Patch Kids. My mom was one of the many nutjobs that stood in line for hours to get them for my sister and I. I also had Popples, Baby Bubbles, Baby Talk, my sister had Cricket. We both had Madame Alexander dolls.


Politics: I remember the Berlin Wall coming down and my elementary school's version of the election between George Bush and Michael Dukakis. Bush won by a landslide. Only 24 people in the entire school voted for Dukakis because word got out that he wanted to make year round school.

Slogan/Commercial: Head for the mountains with Busch Beer. Anyone else remember Bruce Willis doing the wine cooler commercial?


Music: The Scorpions song , "Wind of Change" became the Cold War anthem.


TV: I remember the shows: Fame, Rags to Riches, Growing Pains, Golden Girls, My Two Dad's, Saved by the Bell, and the Cosby Show. I remember watching reruns of The Monkees and the original Charlie's Angels. I also remember the old Nickelodeon shows: You Cant Do that On Television, Hey Dude, Fifteen, Maple Town, Pinwheel, and Maya the Bee.
