80's flasbacks

[Romy]

I thinks this theme needs a new thread, I see mentioning of this era at various places, little bits here and there in the forum, like the music and the fashion...
- Suzie, I would LOOOOOVE to see a picture with your permed hair!!!! please!!!
common girl, I'll show you mine!!

what did you like or did not like on 80's?

to me, it represents my embarrassing teenage years but it was soo much fun!!!
lots of dance music - I was really going crazy!!!
and I loved pants - baggy around the thighs - we called them carrots!!!! LOL

My favorite part about the 80's...hair bands and guy-liner! weeee!! And John Hughes movies!! Love those cheesy little flicks!

I can´t really remember the 80´s. I was born in 1982. but I think it was a great time (even if I can´t remember it LOL)

I was born in the 80's (1983).
I remember the totally wrong clothes that my parents used to let us wear and the boyish hairstyle I had.
I am 2 1/2 years older than my sister and everyone thought we were twins because we were wearing the same clothes all the time + we had the same hairstyles
The Bangles, Madonna, Bon Jovi, Whitney Houston. I loved the 80's!
I used to stand in front of the tv singing along to Bon Jovi songs when I was only 1 year old and I used to sing Feeee the woooooood (feed the world - band aid). LOL

Although I was born in 1983, I have got a pretty good memory of the 80's

I dont think the era matters...our parents ALWAYS put us in the wrong kind of clothes. I dont remember much of the 80's. Oh I was an adult but I was so busy raising 4 boys, babysitting my 2 neices, and working part time to watch TV or even listen to the radio. I do know that Sesame Street was still on Channel 13, Barney the big purple dinosaur was popular, transformers, go cats, and cabbage patch kids. I was a 70s child and remember that well!

I was born in '83 too, and the thing i remember most about the 80's are LA Gear shoes that light up, and those pants with the ghekos on them. LOL!

Oh look at this...I had the HAIR I had to work with it forever to get it so high

OMGosh Kat! you look like Kim Wilde!

I LOVE the eighties, it was my youth as I was 13 in 1980. I loved the music of Spandau Ballet, Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, Wham!, Kool & the Gang, A-ha, ABBA, Imagination, Tears for Fears, Simple Minds, James Ingram, Jeffrey Osborne, Chaka Khan and so on! I was totally in love with Richard Gere since I saw him in Yanks and An officer and a gentleman. And there was the Flying Doctors, Love boat, Dallas, Dynasty on tv. I bought a walkman in which you could play cassette tapes, REALLY cool and of course I had a row of buttons on my jacket and canvas bag.

BTW I organized an 80's party for my colleagues a few years ago, all dressed up in 80's style and it was the greatest party we've ever had!

Oooh, I have some un-fond memories of the 80's too! Those were my college years... I have a picture of me somewhere in curls (my real hair is flat as a board) but I can't seem to find it right now...
