I remember so well the Joradache jeans, in every color!! Also Gloria Vanderbilt jeans and the famous Levi's with the white patch on one of the back pockets. Double drying the jeans and then laying on the bed and using a coat hanger to get them zipped up, they had to be TIGHT!! Nike shoes with the nike logo swoosh on the side in blue or red!
You were either a jock or a grit. Of course there were nerds too. In the early 80's cinnamon toothpicks were all the rage in my area. Buy a box of toothpicks and soak them in cinnamon oil overnight and sell them at school the next day...
Rock concerts were a must, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, Triumph, Ratt, Cinderella, Scorpians....those were the days! And parents complaining about the $14.95 ticket price.
Didn't go anywhere without your boom box and your cassette collection.
Cigarette's were .95 a pack. Boonesfarm Apple Wine. Flavored Schnapps.....(teenage parties)!!!!
All the cool cute guys had 60's & 70's muscle cars, Chevelles, Camaro's Nova's & GTO's......(hubby still has his 1970 Chevelle SS that he was in the first time I saw him when he was 15).
Oh the memories......
