    you owned one of those purse bags with the wooden handle and the outside was interchangeable. You were super cool if the wooden handles were smaller and the outside material was plaid.

    you matched your shoe laces to your belt and hair clips, and possibly lip gloss tote

    you wore your polo type shirt collar up under a button down

    you made big hair with hair spray and a dryer in high school
  • ...you had a Teddy Ruxpin doll and lived to tell about it.

    HEMAN , G.I. Joe and Transformers were the only cartoons that mattered.

    MTV was played Videos

    Silk floral shirts were cool, for guys too. (Talking more 70's here)

    Your skin was 8 shades darker in the summer and hair bleached by the sun.

    "Boom boxes" were still cool.

    Members Only jackets were what the cool kids wore.
