Re: In the 80's
You're probably a Child of the 80's if...
You wore anything Izod, especially those windbreakers that folded up into a pouch you could wear around your waist. * You owned a Jordache anything, or you remember when Jordache jeans were cool.
* In your sophomore class picture, you're wearing an Izod shirt with the collar 'up.'
* Your 'dressy' wardrobe centered around pastels and linen blazers - guys included!
* You know, by heart, the words to any of the first 'Weird' Al Yankovic songs.
* You remember when Madonna was just hitting the scene.
* 'The Reflex' was a cool song. You wanted to be Duran Duran.
* You remember 'Battlestar Galactica.' The Movie, The Series and the Toys.
* Three words: 'Atari, Apple and Pong.' * Three more words: 'Commodore64, Colecovision and Intellivision.'
* You remember the days that hooking your computer into your television wasn't an expensive option that required gadgets - it was the ONLY option.
* You remember the original version of Windows - Macintosh.
* You thought 'Weird Science' was a masterpiece.
* You remember any or all of the following: Echo & the Bunnymen, Cutting Crew, Scritti Politti and/or Orchestral Meneouvers in the Dark.
* Chevy Chase was really funny in those Vacation movies.
* You remember 'Friday Night Videos' and a hundred other early MTV wanna bees.
* You remember when MTV actually played Music Videos all the time, and you know that the very first video they played was - Video Killed The Radio Star (I saw that very first MTV Broadcast!)
* A predominant color in your childhood photos is 'plaid.'
* While in high school, you and all your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play '1999' by Prince over and over again.
* You remember when music labeled 'alternative' really was. 'Just whip it.'
* You took family trips BEFORE the invention of the mini-van.
* Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language.
* You ever dressed to emulate a person you saw in a Duran Duran, Madonna, Rick Springfield or Cyndi Lauper video.
* You actually know who Rick Springfield is. (I even saw him in concert)
* You remember, with pain, the sad day when the Green Machine hit the streets and made your Big Wheel obsolete.
* The phrase 'Where's the beef?' still doubles you over with laughter.
* You remember when the film critics raved that no movie could ever possibly have better special effects than those in the movie TRON.
* This timeline appropriately describes actual events in your life: Star Wars opens, you are still in single-digit ages, and you think the creatures are WAY cool. Empire Strikes Back opens, you are now in early double-digit ages, and you are convinced that the special effects are much better, the characters are cool and you want one of every collectible item out there. Return of the Jedi hits the theaters, you are now a teenager, and you cannot get your eyes off Princess Leia's tits/Hans Solo's ***.
* You've ever shopped at a Banana Republic or Benetton (Or even Ocean Pacific)?
*You remember when you couldn't talk about what a fine actress Traci Lords was in front of your mother. * You actually remember Benetton.
* You knew what it meant to be gagged with a spoon by a valley girl.
* U2 is too 'popular' and 'mainstream' for you now.
* You remember when there was only 'G, PG and R' -none of this PG-13 crap!
* You learned to swim about the same time Jaws came out and still carry the emotional scars to this day.
* 'Wonder Twins powers activiate...form of an iceberg, shape of a hammer.'
* You jammed to the Miami Vice theme, and thought Jan Hammer was so cool.
* You wanted to move to Hawaii because that's where Magnum lived.
* Your hair, at some time during the 80's, became something which can only be described by the phrase, 'I was experimenting.'
* Guys: You remember when a guy piercing his ear was radical to the max.
* You were in school both when Reagan was shot, and when Pee Wee was caught.
* Your generations brat pack was Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Alley Sheddy, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Molly Ringwald and sometimes Anthony Michael Hall.
* You know in your heart nobody understood us like John Huges did.
* You spent endless nights dreaming about being the Bionic Man/Woman, Wonder Woman or the Incredible Hulk.
* You ever wanted to learn to play 'Stairway to Heaven' on the guitar or choreographed 'Dancing Queen' by yourself in your room.
* You know all the words to the double album set of Grease.
* You remember when The Scorpions, Van Halen, and even Journey were considered heavy metal.
* You ever rang someone's doorbell and said, 'Landshark.'
* You wanted to live in Hazzard County, and jumped into your car through the window just cause the Dukes made it look so cool.
* You bought a pair of Vaans and wanted to order a pizza in history class so you could be just like Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
* You ever had PAC MAN fever. The album or the condition.
* The Brady Bunch Movie brought back really cool memories. (70's or eighties)
* For the girl-crazy bunch: Your first sexual dream occured to thoughts of Jeannie, Marsha Brady, Samantha from Bewitched, or for those hardcore comic fans out there, Daphne from Scooby Doo, Josie or any one of her Pussycats. (60's - 80's)
* For the boy-crazy bunch: Your thought Sean Cassidy was 'dreamy,' lusted after 'Ted, your ship's photographer' on the Love Boat, and Chachi. And for the comically interested, thought Fred from Scooby Doo was just a hunk. (60's - 80's)
* You're starting to believe (now that it wouldn't affect YOU) that maybe having the kids go to school year-round wouldn't be such a bad idea afterall. (Im sure this is true of parents throughout history)
* You owned a Trapper Keeper (Still being sold today)
* You remember the days when 'safe sex' meant 'my parents are gone for the weekend.' (Once again, I'm sure this has occured since the begining of time)
* 'All-skate, change directions' means anything to you. (After asking my mother, I have discovered that skating rink DJ's said this back in the 50's and 60's, so it isn't an 80's thing. But thanks to the people who told me what it meant in the first place.)

Cabbage Patch Dolls!! I was in Toys R Us a few weeks ago and I was smelling them. I love the smell of them and it is the same as when I had my first one!!
I love that smell. It totally takes me back to first grade!
I love My Little Ponies. I'm so glad that they're back too. I've been buying them for all the kid's birthdays I've been going to lately.

Where did you get a pic of that?! I was just about to post about mine and I saw your post. I remember going to the Commack Flea Market once a week to get a new charm. I remember the one with the baby bottle. I can't remember the other ones I had. My necklace is probably still up in my parent's attic somewhere. Thanks for bringing those memories back!

Re: In the 80's
oooh, what a fun post! I was born in 1980 and as a child of the 80s I have to say...we had the best toys!!! I am so glad they are coming back with some of them now! Care bears, Strawberry Shortcake...the Toys R Us in Times Square even has a section of He man! And the 80s sitcoms were great!!! How could you not love Punky Brewster? Charles in Charge? That is good tv! The music was great too! The 80s were so great!(with the exception of the big hair...puffed bangs...etc Yes I would puff up my bangs before school...and layer my socks! ) I still have my care bears, cabbage patch dolls, Raindbow Brite, and my popples (remember them?) And I loved my charm necklace...but had forgotten all about it until this post! Thanks for bringing back memories!!!
