FLASHBACK!

I was tagged by Amy J. and forced to relive these times and memories. Some are sweet and some cause me to GAG, but here they are.

The beloved BANANA CLIP
(never left home without this or a SCRUNCHY)


CARE BEARS - I had the blue night time one
(My daughter has 2 of her own and they are still so sweet)

I LOVED the TV show BLOSSOM and Punky Brewster


Did you ever TIGHTROLL?

Especially gagworthy with the doubled up slouch socks


The COSBY show was a family favorite



BUELLER!


I can't believe my mom let me have these cards to trade!


Nothing like a shirt to change color when you are hot and sweaty
Who didn't love NKOTB! I went to a concert and still have my concert program, "tapes" very own T-shirt and giant JOEY button
I think a few of my years were spent with a safety pin on my jeans making these FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS.


...And there were BARBIES, ALF, FOOTLOOSE, CINDY LAUPER, ACID WASHED JEANS, BIG BANGS, CRIMPED HAIR, THE CRICKET DOLL, BANANA SEAT BIKES, FLUORESCENT CLOTHES, JELLY SHOES, REEBOK HIGH TOPS and $.99 GAS!

Your list is way better than mine!! I actually had that exact picture of a banana clip saved to use, but went with scrunchies instead. And I was looking for garbage pail kid cards, but all the pics I found were nasty!

The worst thing-- the tight, rolled up jeans is coming back! I keep seeing celebrities wearing them. Blech.

You remembered a ton of stuff! I kept saying, "Oh yeah! I forgot about that!" So funny!

YOu did awesome! Ugggg the banana clip. I have an awful gymnastics picture of my wearing one! Is it terrible to say that I saw a lady wearing one the other day and I had to do a double take. Where do you even buy one?
