I loved the jelly sandals These are great prizes
not sure how to enter. just comment? i’m new to this. i love pepsi and the 80’s though, so i will give it a shot!
Retro? I think I’m still living it! I am a Pepsi person! I remember the pop machines for 10cent and leaning into the cooler to get a bottle and you had to remember to get the bottle cap off unless you were taking it home! They were in the gas stations and there wasn’t any outside if they were closed. And the majority were closed on Sundays!!!!
I had a fringed purse and jacket and my hair was so long, I can still see me wearing my bell-bottom jeans. Those were the good times!
Some things were pretty neat back in the good old days. I loved the bell bottoms, rock n roll, and real Pepsi, and long hair. I remember wearing mine in a pony-tail, as a teenager. Things were a lot less hectic then and a lot cheaper, too. Thanks for a great contest.
I love 80’s and 90’s music! Especially the 80’s Rocker
I guess I would have to say I loved everything from the 60’s 70′ & 80’s music & items.
My favorite is my collection of cassette tapes……..yeah I have over 200.
I am a freak for Lave Lamps & my guilty pleasure is Black Velevett paintings.
My favorite retro item is my original Nintendo game system. I still play with it from time to time. Super Mario Brother’s 3 is my favorite.
80’s music, record albums, and my original Star Wars and Lego toys…
I like mood rings!
Neon green sweatshirts with neon pink socks. Awesome!
Exclamation perfume from back in the day
Do they still make it? LOL
My favorite retro item is the lava lamp.
I like Pop Rocks and lava lamps.
80s music
I like 80s music
I like the lace gloves with the fingertips cut off.
I didn’t have a whole lot of fad items growing up, so I mainly only knew about what I saw in Teen magazine ads. Caboodles! And Love’s Baby Soft perfume. T-shirt buckles and HUGE hairsprayed hair! In my 4th grade class picture, I am wearing, I kid you not, a layered ruffle skirt in NEON green, orange and pink, neon pink and black leggings, two different pairs of neon socks, neon pink shoes, a splattered painted t-shirt and two giant neon green and pink bows in my hair. That was my super-best outfit and I made sure to wear it for picture day.
