Halftime Hope Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Anyone from Canada have plastic hot rollers filled with liquid that you boiled til they were hot and then put in your hair? My college roommate had gorgeous thick hair and those were the only kind of roller that would set curls in her hair. You could only buy them from Canada. She would boil them in her hotpot, and then let them work their magic every few days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this game where you would throw a ball against the wall and you had to catch it before it hit the ground and it progressively added things like touch the ground or spin around and if the ball touched the ground before you completed whatever you had to do you were out and the ball passed to another person to see if they could get farther than you? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenNC Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 My white rabbit fur muff had matching wide fur earmuffs rather than a hat when I was little in the 60s. We played a lot with caps---not so much in the pistols but taking the strips and setting them off by laying them on the sidewalk or concrete step and hitting them with a rock. Pixie sticks were a favorite treat. As a teen in the 70s, I remember trying (unsuccessfully) to walk in my mother's Candie's high heel mules, and I had several pairs of Dr. Scholl's wooden exercise sandals. I was very proud of the platform macrame sandals with long laces that wrapped up around the ankle that I had in 8th grade---until I fell off of one of them in the middle of a church service so I was suddenly tilted sideways.

ondreeuh Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 How funny that so many things were nearly universal - the power of advertising! Hoppy Taws for playing hopscotch Pogo-Balls (that instantly got lumpy and impossible to use) Big, giant bookbags that were horrible for your posture "Birthday lunch" offered once a month at school - we got a hot dog wrapped in a roll, some fruit and veg, and a little square of birthday cake. We learned the rhyme as: "Say, say, oh playmate, Come out and play with me, And bring your dollies three, Climb up my apple tree. Slide down my rainbow, [shout down my rain barrel] Into my cellar door, [slide down my cellar door] And we'll be jolly friends Forevermore, more, shut the door Eat the ice cream off the floor!" We didn't have rain barrels or cellar doors in my area, so I guess we improvised. I had banana clips, bow clips, charm necklaces, jelly shoes, Garbage Pail kids, Lip Smackers, Jovan Musk, and a Vuarnet sweatshirt. Also, spandex shorts and later baggy plaid pajama pants bought from the men's section. Neon sunglasses (lots of neon), hypercolor shirts, Guess jeans, and Keds. I was an 80's cliche, which is kinda funny because I am so far from trendy now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get anxious and my heart pounds when I hear the forest fire music in Bambi, and the opening strains of Little April Shower give me chills! And I have strong memories of listening to The Jungle Book in my bedroom in our first apartment. I still love audiobooks :lol: I'd give a lot to have those back! On the other hand, I used to have a book of poetry as a child that included the poem Little Orphant Annie, which also used to terrify and thrill me as a child. I never did know what happened to it, but out of the complete blue, I came across a copy of the book at a library book sale. I almost cried! Of course I bought it, and I won't be letting it go again :D Oh, and when I was 8-11 or so, I was obsessed with a book called The Little Broomstick, about a girl in England who accidentally discovers a magical flower, a witch's broom, and a very smart cat. The book was my aunt's, though, and she gave it away at some point. I could never remember the title and couldn't even come up with it after the advent of the Internet. One day, after I had my first daughter, I went to the mailbox and found an envelope with an old library copy of that same book. My aunt had come across a copy at a library book sale (of course!) for 50 cents, bought it, and shipped it to me :001_wub: Another one I won't be letting go! Neither of my girls wanted to read it, so I'm saving it for grandchildren :blush: So sometimes those old beloved things do drift back into our lives.

KarenNC Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Preppy was big when I hit college, though I was never in fashion. I received as a high school graduation gift one of those wooden handled purses with the covers that buttoned on, including a cover with my college logo. In looking for a picture, I just learned it was called a bermuda bag. Who knew? http://www.liketotally80s.com/2011/07/bermuda-bag/ You'd see these around campus with girls in long walking shorts with knee socks and monogrammed sweaters in cooler weather, while the guys wore madras plaid patchwork shorts and pastel Lacoste polos with popped colors (often several layered) and boat shoes in warmer weather. My roommate's side of the dorm room looked like the Lacoste alligator threw up pink and green everywhere. I've been trying to find a photo similar to a particularly hideous skirt one of the preppy fashion leaders of my high school liked to wear, but I can't. We called the style an umbrella skirt. It was alternating skinny vertical panels of pink and lime green prints forming pleats, with, I believe, lime green piping on the vertical seams (maybe it was solid green panels alternating with pink print panels). I noticed recently that bodysuits have come back into the stores, which I don't recall seeing since the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceseeker Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Does anyone remember the candy called Bonkers? Kind of like a starburst but more intense, with a concentrated flavor in the center. If I could just have one more piece of bonkers candy I would be so happy. I never understood why they stopped making them because they were AWESOME! Also I had a bathing suit that had suspenders (?) A two piece with straps attached to the bottoms that you wore over the shoulders. Seriously? And humongous TEAL glasses that covered half my face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
