Dec. 21, 2006 - 70's revisited...
Mary on HK posted this... HILARIOUS!!!
If YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S .
You had that Fisher Price Doctor 's Kit with a stethoscope that
actually worked. No.. I never did.
You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with
flowers on it. Yes to the banana seat... I can't remember the basket, but probably.
You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that
had metal wheels. I still have them!!! My kids think they are hilarious... I'm going to compare them to the roller blades they are getting this year for Christmas. HA HA!
You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute Well -- um... we didn't have a TV... so I probably would have if I knew him.
You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island. OK -- I did see this show at a friends house... but no nightmares.
You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days. NO -- ha ha... but Napoleaon Dynamite does...
You owned a "Slip-n-Slide",on which you injured yourself on
asprinkler head more than once. No public bathing back then... (Public bathing is swimming ...f.y.i.)
Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession. I had a minature Holly Hobbie.
You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers. No pants allowed at our house, we were dresses only, but gouchos, they some how slipped in.
You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon. ???
You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the
trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once. Wow -- I never flipped mine, but I would make it bounch. Ü
You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color. (Oh
yeah!) LOL
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. (is this an
east coast thing??) I once did a walk-a-thon in clogs... does that count?
Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers"
and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket.
When you walked, the "wings" flapped up and down, looked like you were gonna "take off" Hey -- now, how is making fun of me? Really straight part to boot.
You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend. You know... they weren't modest... so we didn't do the Dukes of Hazzard... and I've seen the re-runs. My parents were right.  Those are some short shorts Daisy!
YOU had Star Wars action figures, too! Well -- n o.
You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and
Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made
on a plastic loom. YEAH!! Potholders... I thought they were so cool, that I bought a kit like that for my daughter. LOL!
You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from
Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.) Judy Blume books... we must, we must, we must increase... OOpps.. Yeah -- I've read those.
You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics. She had aerobic clothes on... it wasn't? Hmmm...
You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with
heart or rainbow designs. I did this too. Those safety pins with beads on them. Funny thing is... I think my daughter would like that too. (I must be old!) HA HA
You drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first "real" perfume you ever owned .. . Don't you still love that smell?
Ahhh... memories! Too funny. THANKS MARY!! Ü
Jennifer -- a 70's girl at heart!
