Of course! He had those sexy cool characters down so well he had to really be that way. I wonder where he is today?

Ok. I couldn't help myself - I Googled him. LOL He is like 55 now! Why did he not seem like he was that much older than me when I was a teenager???

Anyway, his website is basically dead. It said on there he is trying to get a Myspace page up. I haven't looked for it yet though. He was also i rehearsals for "Broadway Bound musical" called Mask that was supposed to open in Pasadena in March.

Anyone remember Garbage Pail Kids? Oh and the TV show Alf? I think I may still have my Alf stuffed animal packed away in a box somewhere! LOL

How about those HUGE shoulder pads that made us look all triangle-y!

I thought I was a real rocker in the 80's. I was in high school through the best years. I put about 20+ color bandana's around both of my legs(over my jeans). I think it was the Motely Crue thing. Which by the way is still one of my favorite bands.
Remember the group Chilawak(sp?) I think they had one hit...Gone Gone Girl /Haven't thought of them in years
I was big on half shirts and pinstripe jeans with red high heels. Of course couldn't forget the red shirt and red bracelets up and down the arms.

I actually have found my two favorite movies from the eighties and watch them every so often: Valley Girl and My Chauffer. Love it!!!

That's where that monchichi monchichi came from. My dog has a monkey that he plays with, and when I play with him with it, I make the monkey dance and sing, Monkeke Monkeke, Monkeke Monkeke Monkeke. Now I know at least I'm not a true freak, it did come from somewhere.

Silver Spoons

The adventures Of Ford Fairlane

Land Of the Lost(the original)

So I remember the 80's even though I was only 8 when they ended... and these things may only recall to the younger 80's crowd...

Cartoons - My Pet Monster
Stuffies/Cartoon - Popples
Stickerbooks!! I remember all the different stickers girls used to collect and you would put them in a photoalbum type book and show them off at school/trade stickers.

Other fond memories of being a child in the 80's:
Jelly shoes, slap bracelets, spandex stretch pants, NKOTB (which I think eventually had something to do w/ my Backstreet Boys obsession in high school when they came out), fraggle rock.

Ahh the memories.

Man, I was just thinking about all this stuff when I was over at another thread a couple days ago. I didn't know everyone was talking about this stuff here... I read the whole thread and I am just cracking up! The 80's - we were such a kewl bunch!!

Here's a few things I didn't see mentioned:

- Feather hair clips or earrings.

- Super long earrings, almost or touching your shoulders.

- Little puffballs in all colors with the crazy eyes and the sticker feet, you could place them anywhere.

- Smiley face T-shirts with a bullet hole in the middle of the head...

- The Dumbass TV show called "Small Wonder" where this little girl in a red dress would act like she was a robot.

Wheetsin got alot of the more obscure ones that I remember so I won't go over anymore of those. I see many were into the hair bands, and I was not an exception. I remember some weird rivalry between Def Leppard and Guns N'Roses. Well, I liked DL.

Anyway, since this is a trivia thread, I'm going to post this pic here and lets see if anyone can figure out who they are:

Ok, I had that VERY poster on my wall, but cannot think of who it is to save my life. I'm drawing a complete blank. Oh, and I had THE longest dangly earrings EVER! I had some that were way down past my shoulders.
