how about when Guess jeans came out...my fav uncle bought my first pair...and having to have genuine "Keds" with the little blue tag on the back verus the knock-offs...I thought I was "fly"...LMAO...

nikki1920 · #64 04-19-2007, 04:19 PM

I had about 5 Swatches. *sigh* And the Swatch guards...

OOOH, no girl, you DIDNT go there about the Keds!!! Lol...
I did that too!! lol

Obsession8 · #65 04-20-2007, 12:30 AM

Swatches....wow, that takes me back. I rocked 2 on one arm, Swatch guards and all. I had a Swatch twin phone, too.

I still rock Keds (have a couple pair in p/g). But, L.A. Gear was my isht back in the day...with double laces and all.

And, does anyone remember those Hypercolor shirts? I had 2 (in pink, of course)...still have 'em, too (packed away...somewhere).

Ah, those were the days!

I don't know if it has been mentioned but what about slap braclets!!

delph998 · #67 04-20-2007, 01:58 AM

Oh my goodness! Swatch watches, slap bracelets, Guess jeans, Keds?! These were definitely the good days.

When I think of back in the day, I also think about the music we listened to:

Boys II Mens' first album had come out
Mili Vanilli-Blame It On the Rain
New Kids on the Block-Sexx U Up!
New Edition/BBD
After 7-In the Heat of the Moment
Toni, Tony, Tone-Southern California

New Edition....don't nobody say nuth'in bad 'bout NE! I am the biggest NE fan! I had all the posters from the Right On, Fresh and Black Beat magazines on my walls.

And Milli Vanilli

Rember when you found out that they didn't really sing that song

But before all of them...there was Michael Jackson...remember when he fine...you know before the hair incident...remeber...Pepsi Cola burned him up, now he's drinking 7 Up

OK i just heard about this "party line" mess back in the day on I Love the 80s and im like "what the hayle??? so its a chat room on the phone? that is soooo wack, running up the phone like that!"

(yeah, showing my age, but i can relate to some of the stuff here - like clean up saturdays... our house it was sunday tho. couldnt watch TV until homework was done... and we didnt even have no AC. we just sat in the window hopin for a breeze to come by

)

I was and still am a fan, too, soror! My fondest memories are of the Heartbreak album (the Johnny Gill "version" of NE). I love *EVERY* song on that album, mostly "If It Isn't Love", "Crucial", "Boys to Men" (which inspired the namesake group {also a fan of them

}), and (of course) "Can You Stand the Rain".

I feel some old school iPod downloads coming on...

Soror, people don't know about that redlight greenlight!

Ok, now we will see who really was an 80's kid....

Who used to play hand games? Like Slide -

"Slide, slide, one, one, one. One two, one two . . . "

And street songs with your girlfriends all in a circle:
You and Your girlfriends: Hollywoods are swinging, hollywoods are swing-in, hollywoods are swinging, hollywoods are swing-in.
You: My name is SC from the Kool and the Gang, if you don't like it let me tell you one thing, I pop it high, I pop it low, I pop it with the gigolo.
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she bad
You: Bad enough to wear Jordache.
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she cool
You: Cool enough to wear Sassoon.
Your girlfriends: Unh, she think she fine
You: At least my man don't leave me crying.
Your girlfriends: All girl stop your lying.

Ha!

Is anyone out there feeling me?

SC
