Hahahaha..I was born in '85, but i can recognise almost all of the things...pretty neat!

I was born in 85 also, don't remember much about the 80's except for transfomers, and G.I. Joe, but i got a lot music and movies that came out in the 80's.

Anyway 90's rule!

I was in 7th grade in 1985....I love the 80s....the greatest years of my life. LOL, I actually have a 5th grade picture somewhere with one of those damn ponytails stuck on the side of my head....aye chihuahua....and I LOVED the Ramona books!! Thanks for the awesome and nostalgic post Girty!! Made my day!

OMG.....just saw the MASH game.....I played that....holy crap....

good god....

I was born in '81...and I sadly remember/did -all- of those things...

<----feeling older than ever.... I had every Strawberry Shortcake toy that was ever marketed. God, I even had my own Goonie club....we tried real hard to find some kind of treasure....spent a whole summer looking for caves and abandoned wells. It's a wonder none of us fell in...

hehe I lauged at most of those. I miss Pee-Wee's Play House!

LOL.....I killed that line 'well why don't you marry it" whenever someone mentioned they loved something....I used it to death....I'm so lame....

44. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks.

"Ummm, Wore?"



Oh yeah, I remember a few of those.... *cough* Just a few!

Oh, I know!! The get-ups we walked out in public in....i had an awesome legwarmer collection.....and the neon-flourescent stuff....jelly shoes.....and the beads and safety pins for your shoes, and barettes with ribbons and beads....

I sported the pony tail on the side of my head, I collected My Little Ponies, I wore many pairs of socks scrunched down, neon clothers(head to toe), I tight rolled my jeans, I watched and collected pound puppies; yeah I was way lame.

i was born in 89 but i know 2 things about the 80's. Star Trek the next gen and the safety dance. Damn Parents.

God....I can't believe I'm even posting this.....last day of school 1985, 6th grade I believe....check out the neon socks of the people behind me...my outfit is horrible...lol

[attachmentid=15388]

Cute hair, Lila!

oh yeah.....the damn ponytail is conveniently hidden. and only my mother would meet me right outside the door, camera in hand.....

Thanks for the laugh Lila, and keep listening to the breakfest Club and Duran Duran.

aye chihuahua.....you're welcome.....I aim to please.

I'm an 85'er as well. I remember almost all of those as well though. Some of them were more the early 90's thatn the 80's Damn, that's hilarious.

My God, thats how teen dressed in the 80's.

I also had a JEM doll. She was tall and her earrings would light up and flash when you pressed a button.

I also dressed up as Rainbow Brite for Halloween when I was about 6. No mention of her in that list though!!!

The only thing i want to know about ythe 80's is that david bowie played that guy of labyrinth. ANd most of the shots were above his waist. Thank the fictional gods.

Actually Dis, Rainbow Brite is mentioned....I believe it was #50 And my little sister went as Rainbow Brite for 2 Halloweens in a row.....She LOVED Rainbow Brite!

You're right Lila, I saw that afterwards when I double checked.

Does anyone remember why slap bracelets were banned? I remember the whole craze and the banning, just not the 'why'.



David Bowie is absolutely yummy.

Maybe if I say it right, the Goblin King will take me away...... *swoon*

I think it had to do with why they got "slapped", but I'm not real sure....something about sex I'm thinking.....

*edit* got my decades screwed up...there was a bracelet snapping fad here not too long ago and they were banned here. They were those jelly-bracelets (remember them?) and there was something about how many you had was supposedly proportionate to the number of times the wearer had "done" it. We're talking about 7th graders here!!

Anyway, I was way off about the original question of the slapping bracelets...

Oh no! Bad memories of the 80's *runs screaming into the night*

Lord I remember all of that stuff like it was yesterday, the 80's were indeed a good time to be a kid. I really miss Saturday morning cartoons...why did they ever have to stop?

Oh and great pic Lila, it certainly brings back memories of my childhood. I know my parents have lots of 80's looking pictures of me lying around their house somewhere....I hope those never see the light of day again!

I fully agree.....!!! When Rock was still rock and punk still punk. We had MTV UK and Ireland back then, wich was broadcasting Britpop 24/7. Those were the days...
When i switch on MTV now, all i see are half naked black whores and their pimps covered in jewelry trying to act like they have musical talent.

There was pleanty of pure punk in the 80's.



Oh and, here ya go, Dis

i think the slap bracelets were banned because kids kept smacking each other with them and then pulling the cloth off of them and scratching each other with them.
ahh kids will be kids.
i used to have tons of those jelly shoes. and if you couldn't find a color to match your outfit, you just bought the clear ones!

but i think the 1690's were better than the 1990's!

what I thought it was only in the U.S. rock and punk died, don't tell me MTV is taking over the world now, capitalist pigs!

yeah to bad MTV suck wish more bands were cool like the 80's today all they sing about is partying, sex, money, guns, and drugs (I have no problems with drugs and sex though). Its rare some artist got something good to rock, rap, or sing about.


Besides hyperactive the alleged alien can anybody vouch that the 1690's were better.

ROFL!!!!!!!!

I definitely grew up in the 80s considering I was born in 78...and I did ALL on the list!!!!!

every single one of those! LOLLOLOLOL!!!!

I gotta show this to my husband...lol!!!

btw...bonjovi ROCKS!

I love "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" !Im glad its still on its on at Nick at Night.I definelty didnt do all of those things cause I was born in the 90s.I dont know but I think im the youngest member here cause im pretty young .I heard about alot of those things.My brother was born in 1985 so he probably remembers some of that stuff .

you didn't miss anything.

you you want a rundown on it, a friend (co-incidentally of the 1980's) told me that there is a show on tv (i think it was NBC) where 1980's musicians make their return. it is sort of the american idol for 1980's sensations. he said tiffany was on there recently, if you know who that is. i don't.

Tiffany! The "I think we're alone now" remake! Oh, that takes me back.....

*High 5*

I bought the CD's when they remixed them, but in their day I had their latest cassette as soon as possible and jammed like a mad woman, driving my first car with it's vanity tag; "Jorney" (limited to 6 spaces on tag's here! ) and their famous scarab logo sticker in my back window.

And, " Lights" was my favorite song; "When the lights go down in the city...." That was the only song that ever made me cry @ a concert. Steve Perry and J. @ Veterans Stadium , Philadelphia PA ! *And I do love "Faithfully" also. Heck, was there a bad Journey song?

No, no bad Journey songs....Lovin Touchin Squeezin is my drinkin song....god help the innocent bystanders if I hear that while drunk and there's a pole nearby...
