Tori...that is soooo hillarious...we were such dorks!!
haha this is hillarious! So I only grew up partly through the 80's but I remember everything and laughed at everything on this list, as I agree. I think Canada was a little behond though so part of these might have leaked into the 90's! I was 9 in the 80's and I was totally wearing NEON! I remember getting my neon handmedowns and still thinking they were SOOO awesome, I wonder now if I was the only one in them and that they had actually passed by!
So true, so true. BTW we need to go out for lunch for our 33.
We were big time dorks!! Or maybe we still are!! ;) Love ya
