Sleeping The 80's Away!

I all but lost my mind last night. All I really wanted to do was go to sleep.  But oh no!! My brain had other ideas. For some insanely demented reason, it wanted to revisit all the things I could remember from the 80's. Now, because I was mentally self entertained last night, you get to be tortured today! Here it is! The most random list of 80's crap I could remember!!!

1) My Commodor 64 computer. I paid for it all by myself. I believe I paid somewhere around $400 for the whole system. I spent hours playing Indiana Jones and Ghostbusters. 

2) Videopolis at Disneyland. Like OMG!! They had the hottest live bands in the afternoons belting out songs from rockin bands like Duran Duran and The Pet Shop Boys. Many hours were spent clicking away photos on my Kodak camera that took 110 film! 

3) Cable tv!! We thought we were the most awesome folks on the block because we had "ON" tv. All you had to do was switch the tv to channel 3 and turn the dial on the cable box to "on". Some people had "Select" tv. They had several cable channels. Super fancy!

4) Cassette tapes and recording songs from the radio. I cannot even begin to tell you how many cassttes were handed out to boyfriends with amazing songs like "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany and "Push It" by Salt N Pepa. 

5) My first telephone . . . on my own phone line! The phone was puckered lips in a brilliant red. Best of all . . .It was touch tone dialing!! Not rotary!! 

6) And let's not overlook probably the most significant part of who I was in the 80's. I was the poster child for AquaNet Hairspray! I am pretty sure a large portion of the damage in the ozone layer is personally my fault. For your viewing pleasure, I am adding a picture of my short flag squad from high school. I am in the front (center) left side with my flag pointed at the logo with the dancing girl on the US map. Look hard and you can get a good giggle on how high my bangs were. Keep in mind, the picture was taken on a low bangs day! Yikes!!!

So there you go. This is only a small amount of what plagued my brain last night. Hopefully you got a good giggle from it! I know I did!
