Ahhhhhhh yes...Wolfman Jack and the Midnight Special...funny, I was just talking about that today!! I graduated in 78..........wow








Where does the time go?

[carole]

Aww Micki that sure brought back some memories and a few laughs, the Farrah Flick, do you know I got my Farrah Flick done when I was in America, out of Salt Lake City somewhere, I ended up on a bus going to goodness know's where and got off at a place called Trolley Square I think, and I remember getting my Farrah Flick done there and buying this awesome calico gown with lace up front, it was a sexy number too, I even remember the hairdressers name Len, I wanted to take him back with me, because he did my hair so great , I felt like a Hollywood star lol.

AH memories, oh to be 19 again.

[Jadapit]

Omg now that brought back some memories. I loved Charlie perfume and tube tops oh how my mom hated those. Ah yes, the good old 70's.

[carole]

You know I used to wear Charlie perfume too, until one of the boss guys complained, I did a mail run around a factory as part of my job, I always used to give myself a spray before leaving to do it, one of the head moncho's complained when I came in, his office reeked of perfume, he did not like it, Poo face.

Ah yes Boob Tubes we called them here, they have made a comeback in fashion, I used to wear one to work,
now that I think of it, oh well I did then have the figure for it, so heck why not?

I was 11, but I remember most of this stuff fondly.

I got this list off the net, but I remember some of my own:
Rainbow suspenders
Mork from Ork (nanoo-nanoo)
Roller Derby on TV
Happy Days and all of Fonzi's stunts (wow, was I ever impressed)
Playing in the sprinkler in the summer
Listening to ONJ, ELO and The Carpenters ALL THE TIME
Having a crush on Shaun Cassidy and Andy Gibb
Satin jackets (mine was baby blue and had Shaun Cassidy's picture on the back, lol)
Jeans with something embroidered on the back pockets
T-shirts with iron on transfers (I remember going to the t-shirt shop and picking out what you wanted on the front, then you got your name on the back in fuzzy letters)
Moccasins
Pink Huffy bikes

[Jadapit]

Omg I totally loved my moccasins. I used to wear them with my fringe jacket. Lol. I had the crush on David Cassidy. That tells you that I'm older than you.

Yep and ALL the pics from Teen Beat and Tiger Beat all over my walls. I think I also had the hots for Scott Baio.

Jadapit - I had a crush on David too, but that was when I was a bit older and they started repeating the Partridge Family in the early 80's.

I just remembered Toe Socks! Remember those? They were cute, but very uncomfortable with all that material in between your toes.

[Jadapit]

Oh yes, I remember toe socks. You could get them in all sorts of funky colors. Pop rocks remember them? I loved those things.
