IF YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 1970's AND THE 1980's
You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.
You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)
You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books
Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.
You had either a 'bowl cut' or 'pixie', not to mention the 'Dorothy Hamill'.People sometimes thought you were a boy.
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.
You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.
You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: 'Who will I marry.
Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or David Cassidy?
You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.
You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle). You also had a pair of salt-water sandals..
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits, or the sunshine family.
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.
You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first 'real' perfume you ever owned.
Some definite nostalgia there. Thanks for that.
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! I remember ALL of this. I had the pixie thing going, but I looked more like Derek the Bold than Dorothy!
ReplyDeleteThis was a hoot.
i loved judy blume growing up. did you ever read any of her grown up novels? summer sisters was particularly good.
ReplyDeletethanks for the trip down memory lane. ;)
I was a kid in the 60s and a teen in the 70s but I remember a few of these as a kid. Good T13!
ReplyDeleteI may do something similar for my next week's T13. I was trying to think of what.
This was fun. Thanks!
My T13 for this week is prescheduled to go up at 12:01 AM EST tonight.
When I saw the subject of your T13, I just knew that Holly Hobbie would be on the list. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's ironic that you put up a pic of Leif Garrett. On my way to work, I was listening to a mix CD I made that has "I Was Made For Dancing" on it.
Cute. Lots of great memories too (smile).
ReplyDeleteI grew up in the 80s but I remember those rainbow pins on my sneakers and watching Love Boat reruns. Yes, Gopher was cute. =P
ReplyDeleteThis bring back a few memories. Thanks.
Happy T-13!
What a walk down memory lane. Loved your list.
ReplyDeleteWell I am a guy, but I remember some of this stuff. A nice walk through memory lane!

Yes to the bike, the Holly Hobbie (but it was a comforter) and the magic 8 ball. For the others: never had rubber boots or moon boots, I had long hair, eeew on Gopher, I've never read any Judy Blume, I haven't seen Grease, Flashdance or Saturday Night Fever and I never did friendship beads or wore perfume.
ReplyDeleteHilarious. I totally remember my first "Dorothy Hamill" haircut...and it was Shawn Cassidy all the way! ;-)
ReplyDeleteMoon boots were the best! I hope they make a comeback so I can put them on my kids.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the trip down memory lane! I loved all of those things when I was little!
ReplyDeletehappy tt...and oh my gosh i knew all of them...guess that makes me a 70s/80s kid...lol.

My mom very nearly broke my finger (accidentally!) wearing a pair of those Dr. Scholl's clogs! Fun 13, even though I was only around for the tail end of the 70s.
ReplyDeleteMY girl was growing up in this era so I can remember in a proxy kinda way of what she had ...this is a very good 13!!
ReplyDeleteMy 13 are listed, I do hope you can find time to stop over! happy thursday
Oh my this brings back so many memories!!! And yes I had a crush on Gopher too lol! :) Happy TT and thanks so much for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun. My sister had a Holly Hobby dress...I hated my pixie haircut! Happy TT
ReplyDeleteI was just remembering my Banana street bike, i wore loves rain scent-Dr Shcoll's --eight ball --Grease and of course Gopher was cute:) Good job
ReplyDeleteMost of those are true for me... born 1982. Great list
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
The friendship pins! I forgot about those!
ReplyDeleteThose boots cracked me up! They look so wild. This was a very fun list. I love the bike too...and it's been a long time since I saw a cover of Teen Beat.
ReplyDeleteGreat list and thanks for visiting my blog!
Hope you can catch up on some sleep this long weekend coming up. I read your profile and you said you were always tired, I remember that feeling with my toddler! (if you can try some natural source vitamin B in the morning with breakfast, it might help especially if it's a natural source)
Cheers,
Candy
Yup, I was born in 1970 and can relate to pretty much all of it. Fun!
ReplyDeleteOh! I remember ALL of these! I was going to marry David Cassidy. (Only he didn't know it.) Thanks for visiting my TT.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Ashley... I was a kid in the sixties, but I definitely remember these.... esp. the Dr. Scholl's shoes. Man, I loved those sandals.....
ReplyDeleteI remember my older brother and his friends stealing that Judy Blume book and laughing about "that one part" and not even understanding why it was so funny. Do you remember that each color from those beads had a different meaning? Happy T13.
ReplyDeleteI remember them all. I loved my bike with the banana sit! Happy TT
ReplyDeleteHa-Ha what a great list. I had long hair and don't remember the friendship beads. I remember mood rings and painters pants.
ReplyDeleteThe Love Boat is mentioned on my list too. "Travel" on over if you'd like.
Man that's impressive. I forgot about my Donnie and Marie dolls...I guess I blocked them out.
ReplyDeleteFun list, but even little boys had moon boots and banana seat bikes too! :) Happy TT
ReplyDeletei was a teen in the 70s and remember many of these tho the only product listed i owned was the Grease soundtrack which i did about wear out the year i was twenty and waiting for my finance to return from overseas.
ReplyDeletemy little sister had the banana seat bike with the white wicker basket and plastic tassels on the handlebars.
thanx for visiting my Joy Sayings list. BTW a joy buzzer is a practical joke device held hidden the palm as you reach out to shake hands. it delivers a shock to the palm of the shakee.
Thanks for visiting my blog, too.
ReplyDeleteActually, I honestly did not have a crush on Gopher. However I did enjoy Love Boat and watco.hed it all the time. I was a child in the 60s and we had the banana seats on the bicycles, then, to
I'm not so familiar with most of these things except for the colorful pins and that bicycle...but I'm sure it was fun growing up in those years..or was it? :-)
ReplyDeleteLove's Baby Soft, bike with a banana seat, Tiger Beat! All true. I was more into C. Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Scott Baio, et al than the Cassidys though. Love the list- complete with pictures!
ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about friendship pins! Ahh..those were the good old days.
ReplyDeleteLOl, I remember ALL of these! OMG, I always thought I was the only one who had a crush on Gopher! I had totally forgotten about moon boots, but will never forget about Holly Hobbie...my best friend was the first one in our class to wear a bra, and it was a Holly Hobbie...you can be sure she showed it off to all of us! LOL
