Debbie Gibson, Leg Warmers, and Side Pony Tails......

If you were lucky enough to be a teenager or adolescent during
the 1980's then you totally get the title of this post.

Our ward had an 80's night last Friday and it was really fun!
My hubby had to work so my awesome kids were my dates.

As far as my outfit goes I had to google Debbie Gibson to get my style just right.
You can't really tell from the picture but my awesome hair do is a side pony tail.

Doesn't it seem like the 80's were just yesterday?
Take a walk down memory lane with me.

You know you grew up in the 80's if......

1. You wore your hair in a side pony tail

2. You ever ended a sentence with the work SIKE!

3. It was actually worth getting up early on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons!

4. You got super excited when it was "Oregon Trail" day in the computer lab.

5. You made your mom buy one of those clips that holds your shirt in a knot on the side.

6. You wore stone washed pants or jean jackets and were proud of it!

7. You know the profound meaning of "wax on, wax off".

8. You wanted to be a "GOONIE".

9. You wore florescent clothing from head to toe.

10. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

11. You traded "garbage pail kids" on the school play ground at lunch recess.

12. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you traded handmade friendship bracelets.

13. You ever owned a pair of Jelly Shoes!

14. You thought Kirk Cameron/Samantha Micelli were HOT!!

15. You remember ALF.

16. You LOVED or HATED NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!

17. You've seen every episode of Saved By the Bell.

18. You know every word to Bon Jovi's- "Shot Through the Heart"
and you are singing the words in your head right now.

19. You tight rolled your jeans.

20. You used to and probably still say- "What you talkin bout Willis!!!

Thanks for reminiscing with me all you 80's lovers!!

That is soooo Awesome!! We did our RS Birthday last month and it was 8o's themed. Hot pink and orange the whole room was neon. Then me and my Presidency (of course decked out in 80's attire-I had the side pony tail goin on also) lip-synced to "Girls just wanna have fun". It really was a blast. I keep waiting for that phone call that they need to release me now hahahaha

Holy Crap! Funny thing is you look just the same as you did back then. That is SO FUNNY - And crazy enough I heard the famous Debbie Gibson Song a couple hours ago on the radio (OHHHHHHH, Ohly in my Dreams, as real as it may seem, it was only in my dreams) I know you are so smiling now!!! Love you so much
