Found a few pics from the 80s, but they're such crummy quality to begin with, I can't imagine they'll scan well. Will keep looking. While the rest of you keep posting yours.

Well I admit I am generally a sarcastic person... but it was more of a cat call whistle type comment. :mrgreen:

I think I could get behind that fashion throwback.

woah, I'm having a Miami Vice flashback. Used to have a teacher who lived for co-ordinating neon socks with his shirt, usually in white pants with white suspenders and of course... the skinny tie.

I truly regret not trying out the Flock of Seagulls haircut, or at least something blue & punk when I had the chance (as in before I was old enough to get a job).

Star Wars ruled, Indiana Jones was the man, Gremlins weren't just a car (my gran was traumatized after taking me to see that flick, ahhh the microwave scene). I even have a ringtone from the Breakfast Club on my phone (Judd Nelson used to be so rad).

OMG...went there and did that...thank god I do not have any pictures of it.

I find it troubling that nobody has mentioned "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". Kinda strange how "that" section of tape (yes, I said tape) developed a particularly bad tracking problem.

HAHA I remember the 80's.. Punky Bruester, Indiana Jones (can't wait for the new one to come out!!) My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake and Rainbow Bright... lol, Oh now don't forget Sheena, and Pippy Long stockings.. lmao My gosh how my parents hated those shows. lmao!!
I too did the big hair, or did as much as my mom would allow. And the layered denim skirts and I too had a jumpsuit or two, with what looked like postage stamps on it lmao!

Hertz, that first picture, was the same year that I was born!!! lmao!

.....ahhh the microwave scene........

Speaking of microwaves.... We went with my parents to the furniture/appliance store for our first microwave. The salesman came over and asked the required, "Can I help you?" Dad said, sure, we are here for our microwave. He took our name, started leafing through all the order forms. Dad waited and let him search everywhere for the order form. Finally, the salesman said that he couldn't find an order anywhere, are we sure we ordered one. Dad said, "No, we didn't order one, but my kids say we are the only ones in the world who don't have a microwave, so I just assume you only have one left and it is ours."

And remote control for a TV? My brother and I nearly had to threaten to kill ourselves for Mom to buy a TV with a remote when the old TV was hit with a powersurge and broke.
