    OK...I remember getting our first Apple Computer when I was in high school that you programmed in basic...we didn't have a VCR until high school and so I used to tape Cagney and Lacey on an AUDIO TAPE and take pics from the tv screen to hang in my locker at school Many of my favorite songs I still have as records!...which I loved because you didn't have to rewind it!

    The BIG names in music were de peche mode, madonna, boy george (eewww!), michael Jackson, etc etc...Guess jeans and organically grown were all the rage...and we spent our weekends at the mall going from big dept. store to big dept. store to get free samples of anais anais perfume...that I still wear to this day!

    I got my first job when I was 14 working at McDonalds and I made $3.32 an hour. You could buy a cheeseburger, small fry and small drink for just over a dollar back then.........

    ahhhhh memories...light the corners of my mind......

    Thank GOD I'm not a teen-ager anymore though!

          I know what you mean Kris! I often go down to the University with the baby in tow to visit hubby at the hospital. Of course, the campus is teeming with young, energetic, beautiful girls. Sure, sometimes I'm envious of all the time that they have just for themselves, but I honestly wouldn't trade places with them. Youth felt pretty insecure to me. I finally have some peace with myself. I'm certainly glad that I was one of those girls at one time, but I wouldn't want to go back.

                      Ha! Madonna was my idol as a teenie bopper...she personified all that I wasn't! I longed to be as sleek and sexy as she was...and I had it all...even a lace pink jacket that I wore with a neon pink tank top, my dad's big oversized white shirt, a neon yellow tie and pink leggins with little flower like swirls in white...I had pink pace shoes with lace shoelaces too......

                      Man..I wish I had held onto some of that stuff!!!

                            Nope- not Madonna-

                            we were all into Punk Rock and therefore dressed in black with black make-up and spiked hair. And we started a 'write-in' campaign for the prom song- they wanted some gross Lionel Ritchie song and we got all of the various groups that weren't the 'in' crowd to write in for the Dead Kennedy's "Too drunk to f##k". So, the highlight of my high school career, the one moment that lives with me forever, was when "Missy" our class president got up, opened up the results of the voting, burst in to tears and said "you...all...have...ruined...the...prom" and ran off the stage. It was an excellent moment, reminding those who shut out people who weren't pretty, popular, rich, etc that we all were tired of the attitude!

                            and then for prom night? I went to Melon Ball Shooter night at one of the punk bars in DC.
