Yep, me too

My favorites were my REAL legwarmers that I wore for dance class (I took tap, ballet and jazz for years)

[cujo0123]

I was born in 1980 and I remember every single one of these lol. I laughed through the whole thing. I remember my mother used to love giving me big hair. I have a picture of me in "big hair" in 1984 for my kindergarten picture. I used to love the side ponytail thing. I did that until the early 90's hehe. Life has really changed.

Oh yeah...the new kids on the block...we were talking about them the other night. I hated them and Jem and my sister had the new kids on the block bed sheets and dressed like Jem. She still gets teased for that.

Well, i am a chinese girl, born in the 1980's.
i know the children who were boin in the 1980's feel like listening to Jacky chung and MJ.
when the children born in the 1980's felt frustrated he might say "晕"（means faint）
children born in 1980's prefer Yao.
children boin in 1980's loved to wear "Adidas or Nike"
children born in 1980's are fashionable.
