oh goodness... i am SO 80's, LOL! thank god i lost the hair & clothing style though,

[Joey.E.CockersMommy]

Ok well I am late seventies early eighties - actually I still own a pair of roller skates - I prefer them over the inline skates.

[Prin]

hee hee... I remember most of that. The tights with the big socks were a bit before me, but the rest I remember. I never had a mullet though.

[Joey.E.CockersMommy]

yes biker shorts I well remember those - I liked that fad no worries about your skirt blowing up in the wind - hopefully it will come back - until then no short skirts for me

what about pointy toed shoes does anyone remember pointy toed shoes - pointy to the point of being dangerous.

[technodoll]

what about pointy toed shoes

honey those are SO back in style, LOL! i am today wearing my new "cockroach killer" boots!

[mummummum]

I got 3 out of 40 and suddenly...I feel very, very... old. Pass me that 40 pounder o' Geritol wouldja ?!

[Puppyluv]

Is it bad that I have "We are the World" and "Shot through the heart" on my ipod, and that they are on my "25 most played list?"
Sadly, I was a victim of every one of those fashion..uhh..."situations" and quite regretably, carried on with them into the mid 90's.

[Melei'sMom]

OMG almost everyone of them! I was a teen in the 80's.

And yes, now Shot Through The Heart is stuck in my head!

ANd on special ocasions...the hair can almost border on the big hair...I loved that style!

Sadly I was only 5 when the 80's ended and yet I remember almost all of this. I can still sing the fresh prince of bell air song to this day and I haven't seen that show in over a decade. I still have the scar on my hip from my slip and slid. And i have a really funny story about my LA lights shoes and an amish family. of course I can relate to almost all of them but those are my most memorable.
