It’s a little slow on the blogosphere during the summer, so any ‘deep’ posts might be a little less frequent. Thus my post today is all about the 80’s!
Everybody loves the 80’s, right? Maybe? Maybe not? Maybe it was a haze of pain, humiliation, and awkward memories for you? Or maybe you were drunk/stoned the whole time? Maybe you weren’t born. 
Anyway! So, here’s a few things I miss:
- Sweet Valley High books
- The Bangles (the band not the bracelet)
- Oversized shirts over stirrup pants (so comfy! yeah they tried to make it come back, but people look at you funny)
- Black sunglasses with the neon sides
- The little shirt clip that held your shirt in a side knot
- Wham
- Beverly Hills Teens (does ANYONE remember this cartoon?)
- Big hair (I have that now damnit)
- Growing Pains (the show, not my body)
- Banana clips to contain that hair
- Debbie Gibson (none of that Deborah crap)
- Whatchamacallit candy bar before they added caramel
- Being able to ride around unrestrained in the back of station wagon (yes, I know seatbelts are good and I always use them now)
Here’s what I don’t miss:
- New Coke
I think my perspective is a little narrow, since I was 13 at the end of the 80’s.k’ I tend to see the ‘kid stuff’. I’ll do the 90’s next time.
How about you? What do you miss? Not miss?
