YOU WERE A GIRL IN THE 70S IF...
You wore a rainbow shirt that had half-sleeves; the rainbow went
up one sleeve, across your chest,
and down the other. (Yep, had one, I think it said Key Biscane or something)
You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed
them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine. (Stephanie Sykes had the snoopy snowcone maker, but I had the Pepsi machine - explain that again to me, Dad?)
You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that
actually worked. (Yes I did)
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with
flowers on it. (Yes to plastic basket, no to banana seat)
You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that
had metal wheels. (Kids, don't skate on pea gravel)
Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession. (Strawberry Shortcake could soooo take Holly Hobbie in a cage fight)
You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple
satiny shredded outfits. (I totally had the Donnie doll, and he had a purple satin stage outfit... I always made him the bad guy cause he had the leer going on, made the other dolls nervous)
You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with
the trapeze.
(The swing set tipped over at least once!) (Dad's garden project became the cement jungle)
You were really into ping pong and pogo sticks. (Uncle Bill, remember the pogo?!?!)
You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color. (Ah, the puprle and white ones had clear plastic beads on the ends)
You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink. (Does "kissing" the floor or walls count, cause I did that alot)
Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and
you kept it "pretty" with the comb (and a whole can of "White Rain")
you kept in your back pocket.
You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends,
Blueberry,Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.* (I had a crush on the Purple Pie Man... explains alot doesn't it?)
You carried a lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic. (Yes, Charlie Brown was a fave, but Ryan had the cool Muppet one that I sweet talked out of my dad's "Johnsonian" museum, so I have it!)
Every now and then "It's a Hard Knock Life" from the movie,
"Annie" will
pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day. (Oh, this email is EVIL! I saw Annie live with some friends and at recess we would play it out... I loved being Miss Hannigan, if that was her name)
YOU had Star Wars action figures, too! (I had Leia, and I have to say the other more curvy barbie dolls thought she was a little 'butch')
You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and
Fame soundtrack record al bums. (Even better, Stephanie Sykes had the 8 track and we'd dance to both in her attic, and lemme say it's really creepy for a 6 year old to sing the lyrics to Grease Lightning!!)
You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts! (OH MY GOD!! Mandy, you have to remember doing these at Hickory Hills... man, I'm craving that smell when they bake, probably some harmful toxic gas, but oh well)
You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics. (I've just sprayed the monitor with soda, because hand to God, I really did!)
You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with
heart or rainbow designs. (Yes I did)
You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer. (Yes I did)
You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin. (Yes I did, I got my school uniform caught up in the big wheel and got in trouble)
How about about drowning yourself in Love's Baby Soft? The first
"real" perfume you ever owned! (this is uncannily accurate, was the NSA listening in that far back?!)
You had subscriptions to Dynamite, Bananas and Tiger Beat. (Yes Tiger Beat : Guilty... ah, Michael J Fox and Correy Feldman)
You spent your allowance on Smurfs and stickers for your sticker
album! (Yes, and I feel Smurfette was a good role model)You had a collection of Bonnie Bell lip glosses. (Yes I did, oh my god, and the Bonnie Bell face cleaner?! Can we say HARSH?!?)Dittos and Jordache…need I say more??? (Ah, man... I don't know if I feel better or just older, but it was fun!)
