Re: Remember the 80's?

You ladies have me laughing out loud at my desk! Thanks for all of these wonderful (and a little embarassing) memories.

We used to shop at Shoppers Village to get outfits for rollerskating at Walcliff (in Elmont)-it became Roller Castle at some point.

'Flashdance' sweatshirts with tight, tight Sergio Valente jeans, leg warmers, blue roses lipstick, and lots of Aqua Net.

Cruising on 86th street...cranking Buffalo Girls, High energy (your love is lifting me), Play at your own risk...my cugina cousin had the coooooolest Monte Carlo and a boyfriend who was a break dancer! LOL!!!!

Re: Remember the 80's?

What a cute thread! I wish I could remember more!

How about french cuffs??
Wearing more than one pair of slouch socks at a time?

I think that's all I can come up with. I was thinking Cavaricci's, but someone beat me to it!

Oh well!

Thanks for the laughs girls!

Edited to ask: Milli Vanilli was the 80's??? Gee, I'm getting old!

Re: Remember the 80's?

ROLLER CASTLE WAS THE BEST!!! i had the roller castle t-shirt with the castle in glitter!!! i wouldnt wear anything else when i went there!!!

Then there was laces and hot skates, but none were as good as the CASTLE!!!!!!

Re: Remember the 80's?
