Hey girls, I found this on ivilliage.com thought it described me to a tee. Check it out if you were a lil girl in the 70's-80'sweb page (http://www.ivillage.com/relationships/features/friendshipemails/articles/0,9632,203628_255142,00.html)

oh, that's great! thanks for the page.

I Did have the Donnie and Marie plastic dolls with the pink and purple shredded clothes! (not to mention their album)

oh, but not the Dorothy Hamill haircut; in the late 70's, i had the Tenille of Captain and Tenille haircut.
she was the coolest!

I can't believe the Donnie doll was mentioned LOL. Anyone in the chat room that day knows what I'm talking about. IT WAS AN ACTION FIGURE!!! LOL

haha

the Donny in his disco, purple outfit
action figure!!

(*with superhero theme music in background..*)

too cool!

Great link Heavenly!

I wore knickers and knee socks.... *hides*

it's ok, you can come out...lol


i wore nickers and kneesocks when i was 6-8 in the 70's.
my mom has the embarrasing photos on the livingroom wall. -may as well not deny it..

OMG!!! So true!! I loved Holly Hobbie,and Shrinky-dinks! <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

That was neat! So, many of those things described me. Roller skates with metal wheels, taping songs off the radio with a portable tape recorder (also did them off the T.V. too), owned an Easy Bake Oven, had the ribbons in my hair, and there was a few more.

? Bogie's afraid to ask.lol Is this another one of TC's funny words for the ML's or is this a real product?

shrinky dinks were the coolest.
little rubbery colorful looking characters that you put in the oven and bake. the come out plastic, flat figures. (if memory serves me right)
kids playing with ovens..
-their schemes failed, i guess..
haha

i would tape love songs off the radio on my tape recorder. later when i'd listen, there would be some awful, silly male voice in the middle of the song, singing the lyrics instead of the singer. oh, that made me so mad!! haha.
{{big brothers}}

I know the feeling, Vilji! My little sister would come in the room and purposely would start talking while I would record.

That's so embarrasing..those things totally describe my life in the 80's. Loved Holly Hobby..had friendship pins on my nikes shoes. (The plain white ones with the red swoosh) Taped songs off the radio..spent all day by the radio for them to play songs for me to tape.

That was a great site.I loved Holly Hobby. I still have my Holly Hobby trunk with all my old barbies in it. I also have my bionic woman doll.Funn stuff! Lets all get together with all our 80's toys and play! Easy bake ovens, shrinky dinks, barbies, Holly Hobby, Donnie and Marie Dolls, metal skates... We'd have a blast!!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> I'll ask my mom if I can have all of you over and let you know tomorrow.

LOL! Yes they were a real product. Thanks Vilji for the description. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

ok, imsoosure, i'll pack my bag and bring my 80's girl stuff.
does the easy bake oven still work?

how long did that take,,cooking brownies with a lightbulb? haha

i'll even bring my Lightbright, too.

Im glad I am not the only one who did these silly things..*LOL* I remember taping songs off the radio too...I had 2 lil bros & a lil sis that would always come running in screaming while taping music & that would always piss me off! *lol* I couldnt find any of the old casettes I had once made, but I have found an old casette of when I was 17-18 of me and an old boyfriend talking about how we were going to get married, have babies, and be cool parents...OMG...It is too damn funny! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

Oh yeah, let's not forget about Strawberry Shortcake or My Little Mermaid, Pony, and Pound Puppies. Did anyone have a Barbie Dream House? I had a Barbie Town House with the little elevator. Until my brother broke it.

Vilji, that sounds so fun. Except I'm not allowed to play with lightbrights anymore. I got my finger stuck in the back of one and the light bulb burned my finger.I still have the scar. If I'm real careful maybe I can play. The barbie dream houses were the ultimate. I loved my pink barbie corvette too. My mom said you can all come over. We can even have a slumber party. Just let me know what night!!! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

i was never really into the barbie dreamhouses and all her clothes and cars. i had barbie, though, with some different outfits. i'd just grab my friend's Ken doll, take Barbie, and see how many creative dates they could go on in his car...)not to mention some of the creative positions they could manage when he started the moves on her.
