I am sorry Sexy Mocha but the bomber jackets weren't the bomb here. Yeah I remember the store with all the cheap stuff, it was called the Compton Swapmeet
What about the candy house. Everyone had a house on their block that sold ALL the bomb candy you couldn't find at the store. Like sour pickles, not dill, but sour. Hell, pickled eggs, fire jolly ranchers, the little bag of sunflower seeds (cuz no one NEEDS like 500 sunflower seeds). Blue acrylic fingernails. Fluorescent socks and accessories a la Madonna. Creepers, tapered Dickies and turtlenecks (people from LA remember dance groups sporting these like, KODs, SexJerks, etc. 1986-89...damn I'm old). The rap music WAS the bomb, what I wouldn't do to hear some Dougie Fresh and Slick Rick/ Real Roxanne, Roxanne Shante/ MC Lyte/ LL Cool Jay before he became TOO sexy / Biz Markie/
I KNOW y'all remember Ready for the World (we called them ready for the Curl)/ Force MDs/ Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam with Full Force/
Cabbage PAtch/Robocop/Smurf/PeeWee HErman/ The Guess/ The Prep (a la Janet Jackson in her 80's videos...I can't remember which one).
Yeah, Michael Jackson was FINE and no one cared he had a curl...those were the days
