Four For Friday
When I wasn’t working while watching Friday Night Lights this week, I had VH1 on as my background noise and yesterday evening didn’t disappoint. They covered the greatest one hit wonders, most of which came out when I was still in single digits and got me nostalgic about that era.
2. Strawberry Shortcake. I wasn’t into her, but that didn’t stop my mother from getting me the sleeping bag*.
3. Boy George. My introduction to gay men. Of course, my parents couldn’t explain why he wore make up if he was a boy.

4. Neon crayons. Even though I loved the colors, the colors never really shone through.
What are your four 80s things?

Last.fm hit of the day: Nightmare by London After Midnight
1) Flashdance fashion– leg warmers and ripped neck holes
2)Smurfs!(Esp Hefty. I heart Hefty!)
3)All those terrible "Police" songs
4) USFL football. Go Philadelphia Stars!
That video is the best!!
1. roller skates
2. neon sweatshirts with matching socks
3. MTV– I loved Martha Quinn!!
4. those jelly bracelets and shoes. Oh. My. Jelly SHOES, people.
Yay for the 80s!!!
1. WHAM (how could I not tell G. Michael was gay? It seems oh so obvious now.)
2. Punky Brewster. I so wanted to be her.
3. Converse high tops (my sister had a pink pair, I had a blue pair, and we switched one shoe… livin' the punky brewster dream.)
4. Solid Gold! When I wasn't dreaming of being punky brewster, I was dreaming of being a solid gold dancer.
I remember mostly everything you three said. I too wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
This was fun. Thanks for stopping by and reminiscing, ladies!
Since I was born in the late 80's, I sort of don't have anything I miss 🙁 But I TOTALLY love seeing VH1's shows on the decade. Those make me very thankful I can't remember a thing. 🙂
Fun post!
