That was Hilarious, and crazy because still don't think of myself as old or even middle aged, but of the other YW's leaders I am the old maid by a long shot. This is just further confirmation.

So funny-I answered yes to all of those. I must be still re-living the 80's because just as I was reading this, I looked over at my cute little 5 year old daughter with a side-pony. I also would love to find her some Jellies and just recently had the desire to make a friendship bracelet again...some things you just can't give up! Very funny.

So much of the 80's style is coming back. Isn't the rule that if you did it the first time you're not supposed to do it again. OK- I have been known to sport the side ponytail recently. Until Damon told me he didn't like it. I guess he's not into the Deb look like Napoleon is.

Awesome, I loved the pictures that go with each one, really brings it back. Totally answered yes to everything! The 80's were great! minus the florescent clothes. A while back I saw a bunch of florescent accessories in Claire's??!! Can you believe it? And I forgot about "skip it", i wanted one of those SOOOO bad!

Maggie said...

I agree with not wearing the style the second time it comes around but I just love those t-shirt clips. Bring 'em on! "You give love a bad name, a bad name."

Shelly and Ken said...

Love it. Funny how reading it could bring back so many memories. I too answered yes to almost all. I have to be honest I have never done #38.
