I love the 80's thread - Page 3

I loved the 80s. I remember wearing stirrup pants with ankle boots and those baggy sweaters. I loved my swatch watch. It had a bicycle on it. I remember when the first CD player came out and I had a walkman tape cassette. I also remember getting an Atari, Christmas 1982 and being addicted to PacMan and Pitfall. I remember watching Live AID all day on MTV and Wham's first video. And those big bows for hair. My high school photos are a riot. Each year I had a wildly different hair style. And for some reason I loved Debbie Gibson and had both her albums. ANd don't forget TIffany and that mall song. Loved it!!

I love the 80's! I graduated high school in 1982 and had some of the greatest times during the decade (although I have to admit I am missing some nights and weekends

I remember going to my first drag show and hanging with my gay and lesbians friends. Seems like forever ago!

"I carried a watermelon

-Dirty Dancing

I have to admit that I was in elementary school and I swore I was Baby lol I would walk around with my shirts in knots..lol

"Feel her breath in my face
Her body close to me
Cant look in her eyes
Shes out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I am anything she needs
She's like the wind"

Good news! Deborah Gibson, as she now goes by, made it through the 80s and has been working on and off Broadway for some time. She's got several albums now.

And then there's Tiffany, who got married, had a son, and posed for Playboy.

This band rocked back then and still does to this day...talk about staying power!! I LOVE their sound, their fearlessness in choosing to make decisions about trying something new and their ability to make it work.
