Pledged Alpha Sigma Phi in January 1984, initiated in April 1984.

Who can forget... hurrying through chapter meetings at Gamma Theta (University of Miami) chapter Friday nights to run over to the Rathskeller (the student bar) and watch Miami Vice? Feathered hair, narrow ties, parachute pants, Members Only jackets? Damn... I'm really showing my age!

Count me in! I missed going to the grocery store last night just so I could watch "Arena" (a Duran Duran video) on Much More Music last night.

(And John Taylor is STILL my future husband!)

Good grief

You know you are a woman of the 80's when you know every word to "Let the River Run" and "I will survive."

Am I the only one who actually misses jelly shoes?

*sigh* Though I'm a few years away from 30, I remember jelly shoes. I had pairs in pink and purple.

They also used to make my feet STANK.

Wink jelly shoes

My dad, a football referee, tried to teach me how to place kick. I tried it in jelly shoes and broke my toe nail off my big toe.

But, they were cool in summer, and we would wear socks with them in winter...I know, totally geeky!

AlphaSigOU, Mr. Silver STILL has his Members Only jacket!

Next month, I will celebrate my 31st birthday. I am still adjusting to being a 30 something. I miss my 20s a lot!

As child (I was about 7 when the 80s started)/preteen/teenager of the 1980s, I miss that decade (Like, Omigod!). I like to listen to the music from the 80s!

BTW, does anyone remember slinky jewelry?

When I was 11, there was a white chocolate candy shaped like a skull and if you push the eye sockets in, a strawberry flavored liquid oozes out (I apologize if I gross you out with the description). Does anybody remember that or was just a New England thing?

What y'all know about Duran Duran???!!!

I am a child of the 80s and attended college in the 90s. I am a thirtysomething (but too young to watch the show of the same name with it was on tv).
