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.
