What about Candies?

I was a shoe model for Candies. I had EVERY pair they ever invented (and there were some goooooffffyyyy shoes in that selection). EGB...this is how my shoe fetish started. Same for you?

I am a child of the 80s and this thread is like totally rad!

Saturday was the 19 yr anniv. for the realease of WE ARE THE WORLD!

We can't forget about MaryLou Rhetton, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Rubix Cube, The Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider, Members Only, acid washed jeans, and "New" Coke.

I love the 80s! Have you seen it on Vh-1? Too cool!

What about the "I'm a Pepper, you're a Pepper...Wouldn't You Like to Be A Pepper Too?" Do you remember what movie the Be A Pepper guy starred in? And he also had one hit song in the 80s...do you remember what it was?

Actually I thought it was Groody to the Max!

Anyone remember GDMFTSBBB? Don't say what it is if you do

Gag me with a spoon!

Awesome

Gnarly

Radical

Bingo! What was the hit song he had in the 80s? Bonus points for his name without looking it up on the web. Its ok if you do look it up, you just won't get the bonus points. And remember bonus points are worth what the $900,000 in cash was worth to Saddam in that hole he was living in.

Did anyone else crimp their hair?

You all are getting me excited, I'm having a big 'ol 80's Birthday party next weekend! It's gonna be hilarious, we're having 80's karaoke, and a breakdancing contest... Everyone's dressing up... I found the best flourescent orange sweatshirt, and I'm gonna cut the neck so it hangs off my shoulder, and I found these horrible 80's boots with cutouts and fringe! And some big slouch socks...and yes, I still have my crimping iron!!!

Pippi, Wish i was going to that party with you, sounds like a blast and right up my alley.

Z - I don't know the song, but isn't it David Naughton?

Cutting out a sweatshirt!? I remembered that on the way home yesterday. Even the guys did this. A read a journalist describing the fashion of the time like this:

"Girls have a choice in trendy wardrobes: The Madonna 'just wanna be sexually assaulted' look or the Jennifer Beals 'was just sexually assaulted' look." If you lived through this time, you know what she meant.

I think it will be a lot of fun... everyone seems really into it! We've been stockpiling music too... oh, man...what a flashback that has been. We found a rad website "80stees.com", and we're gonna give out some stuff as prizes! We're also using syringes to spike Capri Suns, ha ha!

Boy does that ever bring back memories. I was a pre-teen and teenager during the 80's and I remember just about everything on these lists. And "Analyze This", are you sure that Smurfette was genetically created by Gargamel? I think that she was put in their to deter descrimination. I can't believe that we are talking about the Smurfs, it seems like a 100 years ago that I was watching them on TV. Oh those were the great years. I hope that everyone else has great memories also.

Those were some of the best years of my life, college...partying... after college, getting a job as a waitress at night for a couple of years because I couldn't find a job as an English Major (not a teacher, thank you)... going to the beach all day... then BAM -1988, banking and a husband! The party was officially over...
