You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.

You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute. Admit it.

You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.

You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy Hamil" because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. People sometimes thought you were a boy.

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny shredded outfits.

You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze. The swing set tipped over at least once.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle)

You also had a pair of Jellies.

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one
school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!

You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink.

Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket.

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.

You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic.

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.

Every now and then "It's a Hard Knock Life" from the movie, "Annie" and every now and then it will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.

You had Star Wars action figures, too!

It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!

You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?"

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record album.

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.

You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.

You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club. Double score if it was a teddy bear
dressed in clothing.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)

You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics.

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

You spent all your allowance on smurfs and stickers for your sticker books.

You had a Cabbage Patch doll and your parents had to fight to buy you one in the store for your birthday or XMas. :rolleyes:

DANG :) QQn with an AV like that ...and the 70's....
We would have been in the BABY buisness long time ago
;)
 
I had Dittos in saddleback, side saddle and plain back. Yeah, I was cool. I rocked the Mrs. Brady shag and I owned a Malibu Barbi. I had the rainbow shirt and puka shell necklace.
 
Oh, and I asked my magic 8-ball if I was going to marry Bobby Sherman or Peter Brady.
 
Man, I was born at a weird point in time. I remember all that shit too, and I wasn't born til 78.
 
I had a pair of tube socks with Vinnie Barbarino's face on them. Wooooo, baby!

And I had the cool blue tennis shoes with three white stripes on them. :cool:

I used Long and Silky, too! I had hair down to my ass!
 
I was a little girl in the seventies. I had a orange and blue poncho with long tassles. I used to spin around really fast in it so it stuck out like a wheel round my neck.

I had a disturbed childhood. I was raised by goats you know...

Oh thank god! I don't feel such a freak now. :)

Could never understand the whole poncho revival. Only Clint looks good in 'em.
 
Me and Chomper did all those things! OMG! We are laughing so hard now.

LOL Yes, he did make them look good! His 70s moves were awesome! The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly & A Few Dollars More. *sigh* I loved his unshaven face, the ciggie hanging out of his mouth and the way he squinted his eyes....*another sigh*

I was thinking the same thing, and I was born in '79.
