I was thinking this morning and came to a funny thought about me in my teens in the 80's. I thought I was the bomb dressed like this........ I was so in to Madonna, I wore it all and loved the "boy toy" belt buckle, not realizing the message that sent! Wow! I frosted my hair, and teased it out and dressed like this below! What have you done that makes you feel silly now?????

    Hmm, from my EARLY childhook (about 6ish) I went into my mom's bathroom and cut my hair ALL off. Bangs up to the hairline, long, beautiful, brown hair in a big clumpy mess. Best part...I was really proud of myself :happy:

    Also, about 4-5, I don't remember this really, but my mom said when I'd get REALLY mad about something, I'd go into a corner, take my pants off and pee in it :drinker:

    LOL Me too!! Flame red lipstick and white eyeshadow were my staples in 1996!! lol used to practice pouting and trying to stand like her when she was in the Tragic Kingdom cover lol totally forgot about that.

    I remember when Clueless came out and EVERY body had suspenders on their outfits, mom wouldn't buy me any so I went scrounging through my dads stuff and found a pair of bright yellow ones. The suspenders I needed were black, so I grabbed a black magic marker and colored the suspenders myself. Has anyone tried to fill in cloth with a black magic marker??? It gets all streaky and blobby looking. lol But i didn't care, took them to school anyway. Of course I got laughed at, but who cares, I had my suspenders!! :laugh:

    Ahhh....pinning my stone-washed jeans at the bottom and tucking them in to my socks! Oh....and wearing those ridiculous shirt cincher/clip things off to one side that made it look like your t-shirt had a pony tail! LOL I might have to dig around for one of those... :wink:

    When I was younger and went to the grocery story with my mom, I use to spill all the different flavor coffee beans on the floor, and sing all the commercials to the products on the aisle, and slap raw meat and say "come on B*$%& whose your daddy" LOL!

    Crimped hair, high side ponytail (with big bright scrunchii, headband or any combination of the two) and teased bangs ... I was a hot mess at 5 and knew it all!

    This guy, he was so silly, he use to tight roll or french roll his pants, you know, when you take the cuff, make it tight and roll it up. It was a fad in the early-to-mid 90's, all the cool people were doing it. Also, before I could drive, I would ride my bike through the late night drive through to get something to eat, probably one of the reasons I am here today.
