I love looking at wedding pictures from the 80's but then I always feel bad for the bride 'cause I know she's wondering now how she wore such an atrocity back then.

OMG, huge puffy shoulders, lace up to your chin with the cut out to your boobs. Oh, and the pouffy veil...if you couldn't clearly see both sides from the front, it wasn't big enough. Cut-out backs on dresses to, with flippin' bows EVERYWHERE!!!!!!
 
What about Bubble Skirts and Ra Ra Skirts.... with those really Wide elastic Belts?

Anybody remember the name of those Black slip on Canvass shoes that you wore with oversized socks rolled down? - I lived in those....Chinese something I think?....

I had the spiral perm with the Rolled back Fringe....

Butterfly Clips
Smily Face shirts, Bandannas, Earrings..
Doc Martins
Levi 501 jeans
Canvass Napsacks
Gym Shoes
Those jet black Really tight Jeans - Can't remember what they were called either - and I used to be able to fit into them too.!


I was a bit of a Tennis Junkie - most of my time was spent on the court - Pat Cash inspired sweat Bands were all the rage..!

Ahh - those were the days.................
 
Karla...I know what jeans you're referring to!! I can't remember either but my friends used to all wear them...in ALL shades. I distinctly remember one friend loved her turquoise ones. We didn't have much money... I was a Levi's 501 person, keds and tank tops. I do remember wearing the oversized button shirt with stirrup leggings...not very much though. I graduated in 94 so my jr. high/ high school years were very Punk rock/metal head crowd...black bomber jackets, doc martins and lots of clothes from the goodwill. Long, simple dresses with the docs....of which I wore a hole in the sole and wore them on graduation day..the principal LOVED it...he chuckled and said "I didn't expect anything less"! Fun times!
 
Wow! What a trip down memory lane! I graduated in '89 too...

I just saw a picture in an ad yesterday (Macy's, I think) of those acid wash jeans overdyed with the neon color. Yikes! They're back!?! I had a pair in red and a pair in hot pink... too cool

We were just out the other night and playing lots of 80s hair bands on the jukebox. Good times!
 
Got this for you guys:



We went to an 80's New Year's Eve Party a few years back. It was fun! Yeah my eyes were closed...bummer!

First year of college. I puked from the top bunk b'cause I was so trashed. My roommate cleaned it up and insisted I sleep in her bunk instead! It's a wonder I'm still alive! And it didn't even taste that good!
 
Aileen - that's a terrific Cosby sweater your hubby is wearing!

Yes I still have a Shaker Sweater from High School. I think they're making a comeback.and I wear it at least once a year. Teal green!

Yes, my stupid ass had the hots for this guy who looked just like Tommy Lee, ya know the drummer from Motley Crew. I really REALLY loved those long haired wanna be rock star types.

Anyways this guy was incredibly hot. He was the kind of hot that was so hot I had a hard time even looking at him at first. I'd look at him and my face would get hot and I'd turn bright red and just make an ass out of myself.
Lucky for me he didn't mind. And he had the most beautiful hair.....
He was 28 and I was 19 or 20..

Anyhoo,

So me being the infatuated idiot I was with this guy, He could call me 5 minutes before he wanted to come over (I moved out of my parents house when I was 19)
and I'd drop everything. So he shows up at my door one day with his 2 totally not hot friends.
Don't get excited, it's not what you think... They just wanted to chill out and since I was so cool, they wanted to chill out with me..yeah anyways.

So we decide to go to the store and get some alcohol, I heard about CISCO from some people and I thought I'd give it a whirl.....
So Michael bought me 3 of them.

Now for those of you who don't know, Cisco had a big warning on the label that read "This bottle contains enough alcohol for 4 people" Or something like that.
The bottles were smaller than wine cooler bottles and the stuff was thick....

Why dear god why???

So by this time My friends came over and we were having a full on party.
My friend Monica dares me to "chug" the ciscos.. And remember I am SOO cool, so of course, I do it. But not just 1 but 2 1/2 of them in a row.

Oh yes, it was pretty! I was so so so stupidly drunk. About an hour Michael decides he needs Taco Bell.... Off we go in his friends "gypsy wagon" straight out of the 70's, complete with the wizard guy and the little tiny window on the side.

Anyway, Back then I was a make up girl, more so than now. I wouldn't go outside to check the mail with out taking a shower and full make up and hair, ya never know who may see you!!

So to make a long story a little shorter, I decided half way to Taco bell that I needed to vomit. So they pullover really quickly, I lean out of this stupid van, and it doesn't make it all the way out. We proceed to Taco bell....

We finally make it back to my apartment, everyone was gone, and I go in the bathroom cause I need to vomit again. When I'm finished, I look at myself in the mirror, One whole side of my face my make up is missing, well actually 3/4 of my face, vomit down my neck, in my hair, it was horrible. I had never been so embarrassed in my life!

So I cover my face with my hands so out into the living room where Michael and his bros are and tell them "peace out" and I went to bed.

he totally called me the next day.

about a year later To Michaels dismay, I turned down a date with him to go out with my now husband.

In fact, I met my husband at my house coming home from a date with Michael. another very long story!
Yes, Michael was hot, but hot will get you only so far. My hubby is funny and I totally fell in love with him the first time I saw him....He was only 18 and still in high school, I was 20, and I graduated when I was 17.
Michael tells me "your dissing me for a high school dude??" yep...And I never looked back!
 
Tracy, I know, huh? We were laughing soo hard at our outfits....it was hilarious. everyone couldn't believe how well we did dressing up. we got everything at the goodwill....well except for the black high heels those are mine. My husband couldn't believe he remembered how to do the roll for the pants. It was a fun night! My hair hurt when we got home.
