played on my little record player all of the time. “Uptown
Girl”. Good times!*

*I had one of the first glow worms. It was green with a
green night cap. Completely ugly. Then a couple of years
later my sister got one and hers was all pretty and pink
with butterfly wings. But I loved my glow worm. I wonder
what happened to him. He's probably in a box with my light
bright and leftover Shrinky Dinks.*

52.You remember dancing along with the Bangles in "Walk Like An Egyptian"

Egyptian”.*

But it's OK. They made a TV movie. Zack and Kelly got
married. They are living happily ever after. I went to
California last year and they had all kinds of people from
the ABC prime time shows at Disney's California Adventures
and I got to see ZACK! He was there promoting NYPD Blue
cause he's on that show now. Any ways I got to see him.
He waved at me. Zack Morris waved at me! I have it on
film!! That was a cool vacation. We also saw Drew Carey
and the guys from Who's Line and a bunch of other people.
And then when we were at the Hard Rock in Hollywood we
were sitting at a table next to Hillary Duff. She's on the
Disney channel show “Lizzie McGuire” I love that show!
Cause I'm a 20 year old dork who loves watching the
Disney channel. I'm going to be in Therapy forever. I know
this.*

66. You had big hair and you knew how to use it.
I was a teenager of the 80's andgraduated high school in '87. I can't believe some of thestyles are coming back, like the leggings under skirts and longshirts. My 14 yr old daughter used to look through my yearbook and laugh...now she's starting to wear some of the same types ofthings I did. I'm just waiting for the "big hair" to comeback! lol

During homecoming week this yearat my kids' school, they had to dress up one day for 80'sday. I had my daughter wear a polo shirt with the collar up,tight rolled her jeans, and did the "big hair" thing. Shelooked like a mini-me!! Here's a pic:
 
Who don't miss the 80's man. 80's rock and I miss those days.

I love Punky Brewster. I used to dress like her, lol

Oh my gosh the socks don't go there, and i used to have my bangs sohigh over to the side with so much hair spray. I need to pull out allof my 80's pics. I had popples sleeping bag and 3 popple toys, 2 bigones and 1 little one, I had a pink one, white one and a aqua one. Ilove fraggle rock too. Smurfs, my sister and I never missed those showssame with little house on the prarie.

My mom was going through the stuff in the basement, she still had myHyper color shirt. lol I wore them stretchy shorts under all my shortsand skirts, even when I played basket ball. lol

In the 90's how about how the girls would wear their hair in a bun, andwear about 3 or 4 different size scrunchies from large to small. I did,I had skirts that looked like cheerleading skirts but plain colors, Iwore that all the time. Boss clothing was a hit then too, it is gone.
