ok, ok... i hate the 80's as much as anyone, but let's not get scattershot about it.

what's inherently evil about velcro on shirts? it would be sweet to have a shirt with velcro letters that you could change to say whatever you want when you wear it.

and vans? please, an entire shoe company? like vans have never made any good shoes? every shoe company made stupid looking sneakers in the 80's... hell, most sneaks still look stupid.

Your tricks do not work on me...

hey betty glad to have you with us :) as for your visions of horror from that evil decade, that's what we're here for. we understand your pain. we can also take case of your cousin, if you know what i mean... ;)

Hi, my name is Trina and I barely survived the 80's...anyway...

I just was reading thru the posts on this one and had to join so I could thank whoever it was that had to bring up AHA....as soon as I read that and the 'Take me on' title, the song (chorus only) looped in my head and is now stuck....thanx!!! That band (along with many others) SUCKED...big time!!!!!!!!!

It's funny too...how much some of these items are coming back. I actually just bought myself some new rubber bracelets...
awe yeah! pink & black and I feel down right cool wearing 'em.
Remember the shoes girls...how super uncomfortable were they to break in???? damn...I still have the scars!!! I always bought the clear ones with glitter....

I live in Upstate NY and it is amazing to see how many people are SUPER stuck in the 80's. Mullets everywhere, perms galore, and now that it is April, the Firebirds & Camaro's are being brought out from storage to sit in front yards---
The mullet wearing idiots must think of them as total chick-magnets!!!!

There are so many scary images skipping around in my mind right now....you know, I actually wore a Hawiaan shirt with the collar up, skin tight jeans (from hip to ankle) w/scrunch socks and a pair of stupid white sneakers to a Julian Lennon concert and totally thought he was going to not only think I was a hottie but he would want to marry me!!!!! Great concert, stupid outfit.....where is Julian Lennon now????

I also just recently went on a hairband rampage and went to my local flea market and bought all the hairband music I had back in the 80's ($1 buck a tape).....it was so much fun!!!! Europe, Poison, Whitesnake, Stryper, Tesla, Def Leppard....oh, the list is never ending!!!!

Oh--uhhh....I really did hate the 80's....I know it didn't sound like it just then....but really.....uhhh....I did...yeah, gotta go!!!!

~Trina (I hated that none of the folders, pencils, wrapping paper, balloons, erasers...weren't available with my name--damn, I hated the 80's)!!!!!!!!!
