what about lace gloves with the fingers cut out, you know that whole madonna craze that had me wearing lace and beads like a fool, or sky high hair permed to perfection, or stirup pants?

hmmm, maybe I'm just thinking early 80's.

ok so I looked up some of the things and they were early 90's so I don't feel so silly now, like fresh prince was 90-96.

LadyIvanna, i honestly must say i like this thread.

And yes i do like Ah-Ha, it's just when that song get's in my head it stays there for about 3 months....

Masters of the Universe was one of my all time fav cartoons, along with the original TMNT...

Ohh there was this cartoon that i only got to watch a couple of times, the bad guys in it were plants that would sprout into cars for the most part, they had the cars out as toys and you could change wheels and stuff like that, the good guys in it were of course humans that had a tank like vehicle that had 3 glass pods, there was a blonde younger guy, and old guy who was the machanic if memory serves. The plants weret aking over earth. Does anyone have a clue about this cartoon... it's been agravating me for some time now. or was i just too "touched" of a child and this is all a part of some weird set of dreams i had...

I once got into a fight in Kindergarten with my cousin because he cut the tail off of one of my My Little Pony ponies. My favorite was Firefly. The new ones they have put out are made oh so slightly different in the body, new names and designs....same with Strawberry Shortcake. It's just not the same. But I loved all of those as well.

and I too, still have a crush on Corey Feldman. We should start a support group or something.

Of course, I also had my heart set on marrying Jonathan Brandis but now that he's died, that won't happen.

What's sad is I do remember all this crap. And daily...I try to force it out of my head. No joke. I hated the 80's then...except for Prince and the Revolution...and I still hate the eighties. Or should I say the eighties style. The music was alright...the cartoons were OK...But,the style of the eighties makes me wanna spew....dough.!

All I can say is,I hope like HELL women never....ever...ever...go back to the POOF hair, You know,when they used to hairspray the hell out of thier bangs...and sculpt some kind of fly trap on thier foreheads. Mulletys were indeed bad....but,that poof hair was a hell of alot worse.

I have held back on this thread, since I wasn't born till late 1980, but I have to say, I still have all my my little ponies, pony castle, beauty salon, stable, dance school, nursery and game. Plus a million accessories, and Gwynn plays with them everytime we hit my mom's house (where they will live untill I have a house of my own, with a room worthy of them) Santa this year will be having a ball providing Gwynn with all the new ponies he can find!

I have also continued recently collecting Cabbage Patch Kids, but only the original ones will do for me (nothing after 90 or so) the hard part is that I collect them in Alphabetical order.

I still have a Popples sleeping bag, and Gwynn has my original Lady Lovely Locks little metal trash can that my best friend bought me as a birthday present when I turned 9.

I was introduced to NKOTB in third grade by my boyfriend (silly me, till then I was listening to REM and B52s with my brother, and other silly stuff like Men without Hats, They Might Be Giants, and many bands from St Louis and other local areas) I still have 2 of their tapes (somewhere in the far reaches of the retired tape cabinette) 2 of those glass pictures that you can win at a fair by popping balloons with a dart, and to top off my collection, I neon colored NKOTB belt bag.

I went to Catholic school in second grade and experience my first dress code, which outlawed sweat pants (heaven forbid!!) and from that time on, untill I out grew them, I lived in my 3 pairs of spandex pants, neon green, neon orange, and hot pink, with matching socks, rolled down in Ice Cream rolls. And always worn with an oversized sweatshirt, arms cut off, that had a picture of an angel in neon colors on the front.

I have to say, although I still have most of the things I ever had (yes, I am a packrat, and you love me for it) one of my prized possessions is a poster that hung on my wall for years, If I can ever find it again (haven't seen it in a while, it is somewhere around tho) I would love to have it reproduced (it has seen better days) It featured a little boy and a little girl, prolly around the age of 7 or 8, she was wearing a fishnet shirt, spikes , leather skirt, and killer boots, he was wearing a leather motorcylcle jacket, and pants, and had a mohawk, and it said, "We Will Change the World".

There is so much more, but I really shouldn't keep talking right now.

My eyes still hurt from all the neon clothing from the 80's. However I don't think the 80s hair went totally away. I still see that same haircut when I get up the nerve to wonder into Big Lots or the Mall

THe one thing that AMAZES me no one has brought up yet...

BREAK DANCING electric boog-a-loo!!!!!!
Get your crew, a piece o linolium, and a boom box and throw down with the worm :roll:
