Crap I Loved in the 80's

The list is long and apparently I have far too much time on my hands. Here is most of my entire life from 1980-1989 (ages 3-12) in fifteen images. Still wish I could find the "Gag me with a spoon" metallic stickers I wore as earrings. Good times.  

I LOVED BUBBLE GUM...

AND MY ATARI... 

AND COLLECTING THESE...

AND SUPER RADICAL SHORTS...

AND RICKY SCHRODER... 

AND SHOES THAT MADE MY FEET SWEAT...

AND GOBS AND GOBS AND GOBS OF JELLY BRACELETS TO MATCH THE SHOES ON MY SWEATY FEET...

AND SPENDING LONG SUMMER DAYS RIDING 'THE BEAST'...

AND THIS RAINCOAT (UNTIL I FOUND A SPIDER IN THE POCKET)...

AND THE TRUCK COUCH, NEON LIGHTS AND GLASS BLOCK WALLS ON 'MY TWO DADS'...

AND RAMONA QUIMBY...

AND THE AGGRESSIVE FLORAL AGENDA SET BY ONE, LAURA ASHLEY...

AND SNOOPY AND HIS SNO-CONE MAKING DOG HOUSE...

AND MY DREAM CAR, WHICH I THINK I WAS GOING TO 

'SHARE' WITH MY PAL, CHELSEA...

AND TRAPPER KEEPERS!!!!...

AND, OF COURSE, DOLLS THAT FOLDED INTO THEMSELVES WITH A CREEPY TAIL HANGING OUT...AND POUND PUPPIES, CABBAGE PATCH DOLLS, MY LITTLE PONIES, SHE-RA, JEM, MY BROOKE SHEILDS BARBIE AND STUFFED UNICORNS...SUPER BODACIOUS! 

I love you...

AND YOU...

AND YOU...

AND MOST OF ALL, YOU!

Shining, Gleaming, Steaming, Flaxen, Waxen

Found this poster and I started thinking about all the hair I'm loving right now. Here are a few other lovely crowning glories...

Take Ivy

This [out of print] book fills my heart.  I am dying for all things iconically prepster right now. And these images feel oh so good.  I can't help but to imagine my pops, clad in madras and driving mocs, stirring up some sort of well-witted mischief in the halls of Georgetown. His forever-cool style will be forever missed.
