You all have me cracking up. Somebody please don't bring back the hairstyles with the different color hair pieces. You know the "ponytail" that you put on rollers and ZAP in the microwave to make your style last longer!

Also, will somebody please get rid of these CLAW acrylic nails with the neon colors and the palm trees!

I forgot........does anyone remember Punky Brewster??? Or the Smurfs? The first cast from Saved by the Bell? When Different World and the Cosby Show weren't reruns??? Those were the days...

[thatgirl]

awww....*sniff*....now I'm getting sentimental. I LOVE "A Different World". Me and my mom had the biggest fallout about that show. The church youth group used to meet on Thursday evenings at 7:00pm. I was like 'Nooooooooo. Can't make it. Can't miss Cosby. Can't miss A Different World'. Who did I think I was talking to?

Needless to say, I missed out on at least two seasons of my favorite show. They JUST started showing the reruns here. They come on at 7 and 7:30 am. Needless to say, I cut it close every morning just to watch my show. I almost cried the other day when they showed the one where Dwayne Wayne goes to Whitley's wedding and breaks it up. Aaahhh. Damn, they need to do 'A Different World 2000'. Let's work on that

I used to have the Thriller jacket. Remember shaving stripes into your hair? I remember when I finally got to sit in the back of the school bus. I knew I had arrived Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the bomb! I remember when Nintendo came out and it was sooo much better than anything else! Oh to be a kid again! I remember complaining about having homework in elementary, you know when you had to look up vocab. words, and do some multiplications. To have homework that easy again!

I loooooooooove Whitley! Shes the perfect 80's/early 90's "black pants sorority girl!!

[Sexy Mocha]

Wynna, what hair pick with the attached bottle of activator?!? Girl, I wish I knew about that...when my hair dryed out in school, I just casually went by the water fountain when no one was there and sprinkled some water on my curl! O.k., why yall had to go there with "Different World"? I'm all choked up now! *sniff* I told you guys about making me cry! I absolutely adored that show! Is there any channel that plays it in re-runs? What about "Good Times"? Man, that was the Sh*t! J-J and Michael was like how old (??) sleeping together on that pull out couch! Why did all of J-J's girlfriend's names rhyme? Like Vanessa-the-undresser...Boy! Those were the days...we may have dressed, acted, looked TACKY AS HELL...but we sure did have a lot of fun!

[DELTABRAT]

Okay...

I KNOW everyone (at least in Cali) remembers Egyptian Lover songs...like Technicolor and all the "breathy" sounding songs (uh...aah, uh...aah...okay y'all who know get the picture).

What about the LA Dream Team...is in the house.

Finally I KNOW everyone was down with the Beastie Boys...Hold It Now/Brass Monkey, and the bombest song (I can't remember the name) was the one where the music is being played backwards. The Beastie Boys were the shiznit!!!


OKAY and why are we all reminiscing about the hip-hoppish jams...y'all know you loved some Tina Marie (she was the first Black/White woman on the scene with the nose pierce and she gets MAD love).

What about Rick James (don't act like y'all wasn't down before he and his girl burnt old girl with the crack pipe).

Mary Jane Girls was awight.

Morris Day and The Time... Eryboday Walk

Do I HAVE to say PRINCE (every Black girl wanted to be Vanity)

Remember when videos FIRST came out on BET and stuff or MTV for that matter (I'm OLD).

With videos like Carribean Queen
JErmaine Stewart (you don't have to take your clothes off...I didn't like the song, but the memories of when things were sooo much easier is still good.)

Sh*% I KNOW folks remember Herbie Han****'s video with the "legs" walking around with no body.

Remember Fat Boys are Back and you know they can never be wack.

I can't even front...Duran Duran/Spandau Ballet/Tears for Fears/Depeche Mode/

How come no one cared Boy George was a transvestite (not transexual...transvestite...cross dresser)...I LOVED Boy George.

Aaah...the good ole days.

Okay, I just noticed and I am literally in tears LMAO that when I type Herbie's name the computer automatically censors the part of his name that sounds like a slang term for male genitals. You know what I mean. Han****,Han****, Han****...see.

That is too funny.

What are you talking about "The Beastie Boys were the shiznit!!!"? They still ARE. Granted they've grown up...A LOT, They still rock! I do love Liscence to Ill the best though! "Girls" is a house favorite. It works wonders, kinda like "The Thong Song"

My folks went to Black Expo (don't ask me!) saturday and saw Earth Wind and Fire and Tina Marie. They had a good time, even though as my dad said, he felt like "a marshmellow floating in a cup of hot chocolate" He's all right, for a dad!

Speaking of Herbie Han****. I noticed that it gets bleeped when you say ****tail too! That's some funny $h1t!!

Yeah, the Beastie Boys are still cool although I am NOT familiar with much of the new stuff except "Intergalactic" if that was the name of it.

The ****tail thing is too funny for words. Hmmm...I wonder what other words get censored?

I watched Baretta and he had a ****atoo. Little birds that look sorta like ****atoo's are ****atiels

Okay, I'm going overboard now.

PEACE
