I have seen those before, Shaz, but they sure do fit.  I have a picture of me with crimped hair.  It took so long to do and I thought it looked so good.  It actually scares me now.

LOL, pretty spot on there Shaz!  :)  Unfortunately (or would that be fortunately?) I can't remember some of the things on that list (eg. Sat. Night Live - I had a very strict bedtime! and Molly Ringwald) and I avoided most of the fashion mistakes (although I'm pretty sure the parental units managed to dress me in fluro pink at some godawful stage  :-

Modified to add "Willow", couldn't forget Willow!  ;D

That list is great for memories, but it's also a bit cringe inducing.  Yikes, the horror that were some of those gaudy fashions.

I was born in 1975, and as much as I'll always love the 80's, I thank God that I was just a child/very young teen back then.

What?!?!?!?

Am I the only one who had a "BOLT" Lightning Bolt T-shirt? They sold them right next to the Op shirts.

You know in the same store I had bought myself a pair of black and white checkerboard Vans.

don't forget, The Never Ending Story

Another thing to add to that list: The Princess Bride, Labyrinth, Willow and The Dark Crystal (I think that should do it  :D)

Modified to add "Willow", couldn't forget Willow!  ;D
