You know you wore it! - Page 10

My mom would never let me participate in any of the fads, so I wore a series of generic outfits growing up. Probably could wear similar items today without attracting much notice.

I did have a grunge phase, but I also lived in the Seattle area, so it was required. I miss those jeans - both knees blown out - and ripped the honest way, through wear, not through an attack of scissors. Those jeans, green high-top Converse, a TMBG t-shirt, black velour blazer that I bought at the thrift store, a necklace of wooden beads, and hand-beaded earrings. Probably my favorite outfit of all time.

I still remember the feeling of disappointment the day I got hips and my parachute pants didn't fit any more. ::sigh::

Let's talk jelly (and not the K-Y kind)!

*Jelly bracelets & neon lace hair bows (Thank you, Madonna. We all felt like virgins. Mainly because we were.)

*Jelly shoes (I just bought a pair of darling Michael Kors strappy sandals. Fashioned entirely out of jelly. However, they don't look like the jellies of yore. Jelly shoes have made a comeback, kiddies. I raided Macy's last Saturday & I saw a pair of clear jelly shoes adorned with lots of sparkly multi-coloured rhinestones. They are by Betsy Johnson. And yes, you know that I want them.

I loved my jelly shoes.

Remember when they had those handbags that looked like jellies only they were made of a harder plastic? And that was before Caboodles became the teen storage-unit-of-choice

The first hottie in the Bacon pic is Greg, former husband of Susan from Seattle (who is signed up on the board but hasn't posted due to some horrible life events). The second hottie with the album in his head is Peter, brother of Lizziebeth.

That is all.

I looked it up. Apparently Richard Gere has been on the cover of Rolling Stone twice. 1980 and 1985. eBay provides pictures of both covers without much work and it is definitely 1985.

At least I didn't mention that while the box of Trivial Pursuit dates from 1983 or later the Yahtzee is probably from the mid '70s or earlier.
