This is Great! YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S IF...

YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S IF...

You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket.

You even owned roller skates with metal wheels.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (Admit it!)

You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

You had rubber boots for rainy/snowy days -remember Moon boots (you then advanced to Duck Shoes in the 80's)

You had either a 'bowl cut' or 'pixie,' not to mention the Dorothy Hamill' because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. How traumatic when people thought you were a boy.

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag or doll was your most prized possession.

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple shredded outfits.

You spent hours out back on your metal swing set with the trapeze.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

You even had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle).

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck
in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!

You wanted your first kiss to be at the roller rink.

Your hairstyle was described as having 'wings' and you kept it 'pretty' with the comb you kept in your back pocket.

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.

You carried a Muppets lunch box to school.

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.

Every now and then 'It's a Hard Knock Life' from the movie,'Annie' will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.

YOU had Star Wars action figures, too.

It was a big event in your household each year when the 'Wizard of Oz' would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!

You even asked your Magic-8 ball the question: 'Who will I marry. Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?'

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack albums.

You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.

You made Shrinky-Dinks!

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.

You couldn't wait to get! the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)

You thought Olivia Newton John's song 'Physical' was about aerobics.

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

this is such a great list, brings back SO many memories. I loved my childhood

Judy Blume books were the best, and I was CERTAIN I was going to become the next Mrs. Shaun Cassidy or Rick Springfield (though I think those thoughts about Rick came to pass in the early 80s ... )

I was born in 71 so most of this applies to me except the part about the metal swing set, I lived in Queens and didn't have a big backyard.

I was born in '70 and almost every one of these applied to me!
I had those homemade barrettes that were braided with ribbons. I had the Dorothy Hamill haircut too. I didn't have the rainbow shirt but I did have the rainbow suspenders like Mork wore (yeah, back in the day when rainbows didn't = gay).
And my mom's way of informing me about puberty was to give me the 'Are You there God, It's Me Margaret' book
Oh, and Bo Duke was MY boyfriend!
