You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water sandals.
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 Oleson!
PONG! ('video tennis' ) was the most remarkable futuristic game you've ever heard of !
Your hairstyle was described as having 'wings' or 'feathers' and you kept it 'pretty'
with the comb you kept in your back pocket.
When you walked, the 'wings' flapped up and down, looked like you were gonna 'take off'
You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic.

Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David Cassidy?'
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.
You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage,

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and T iger Beat.
You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books.
(Are you there God, It's Me, Margaret.)
You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rain bow designs.
You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first 'real' perfume you ever owned.
You glopped your lips in Strawberry Roll-on lip-gloss till it almost dripped off.
I would say at least 80 percent of these are true!!!! Including the Love's Baby soft perfume! Hope it brings back memories for you too!!

I grew up more in the 80's but some of those things were true for me too! Strawberry roll-on, recording by holding the player to a speaker and a few others. Those were the days!
What a crack up, Patty! What about the perfume Babe? Latch hook rugs? Great memories....Kate :)
Oh my land, this was soooo me! Everything from the Holly Hobbie sleeping bag to the Star Wars action figures to the Loves Baby Soft! I'm stealing this post and putting it on my blog.
