Blast from the past! Remember when..

...,no

...,no

I was born in the 80s but consider myself a child of the 90s, and I STILL remember seeing credit cards being carbon-copied when I was growing up. Hotels did it when my parents checked us in.

Remember when Troll Dolls were super popular? When smoking was allowed on commercial airlines? I remember being a little kid and finding ash in arm ashtrays..

I remember when we wrote checks for everything!

[Guest]

I remember when we watched home movies on the Betamax.

I remember when we wore neon leg warmers over our skinny jeans...

[Guest]

I remember when it was sooo cool to have beepers.

[Bini]

Remember when it was trendy for girls to gather their t-shirt and tie a knot at the bottom? Remember side-ponytails? Remember having crimped bangs being cool? My cousins burned my forehead trying to give me this "look".

I remember watching Pretty Woman, seeing the scene where father and son were riding the convertible with 2 cell phones the size of a car battery (okay, exaggeration) and it was considered - lifestyle of the rich and famous....

[Guest]

Remember when boys wore t-shirts with rolled up sleeves... sometimes tucking a pack of cigarettes in the folds?

Haha! I remember this!

Remember when Birkenstock was the "It" shoe of the 1990's? And the mini-backpack with straps was really cool during that time, too?

[Guest]

Remember when girls wore studded boleros? How about black lace gloves with cut fingers and 50 colored bangles running up one arm?

Oh, embroidered jean jackets!

And acid wash jeans that were poofy on the thighs and snug on the ankles...

And who can forget big hair?

Man, this thread is bad. I'm getting reminiscent. LOL.

[Guest]

And I remember having a big crush on John Taylor of Duran Duran.

Bini, You do NOT remember when cigarette ads were aired on TV. They banned that whe I was a child in the 60's.

Do you remember when people tried really hard to hide their underwear? If your boxers showed above your jeans, or your bra strap slipped outside of your blouse, it was a mistake. Someone would quietly point it out and you would adjust your outerwear.
