haha -- yep! shot through the heart, and you're to blame, you give love a bad name (bad name)!

[crbowles]

Ahhhh, the memories!! I remember how HORRIFIC my feet smelled after a day in the jelly shoes. And this morning I watched the episode of SBTB where Zach and Kelly get married.LOL!

[BrandNewJen]

Oh MAN--- what I wouldn't do to have enough room in my shirts NOWADAYS to wear those stupid clips that bunched it all to one side!!!!

I freaking LOVED slap bracelets---- was so angry when they were banned in 4th grade!

[suitejudyblueeyes]

You know, I was at World Market not too long ago and they had a bunch of slap bracelets. I seriously considered buying one... But they would never live up to my favorite neon pink cheetah print one I had in elementary school!

[fudgey]

OMG Loved the jelly shoes!!! Did you NKOTB are coming back!!

[crbowles]

Come on everybody if you wanna take a chance! Just get on the floor and do the New Kids dance! LOL!

OMG, who can forget Duran Duran and Tiger Beat magazine!! I had the posters ALL OVER my walls!!!

I saw them in concert a few years ago and was 16 all over again!!

[ClearBlueWater]

I used to love those banana clips...

[Jewelieta]

Yeah, I did keep singing Bon Jovi in my head! This post is hysterical! I can relate to all of it. I remember saving really hard, a whole $16, for a NKTOB pillow. Oh man...the 80's, such a slower paced, innocent time. Sometimes I wish I could go back.

I LOVED my Skip it. Granted, I only lived 6 years in the 80's, but I remember using a Skip it. I also liked the jelly shoes, the slap bracelets and the leggings! I also remember my older cousin (she was thirteen) loved the New Kids on the Block and collected their figurines, but I just didn't quite get it then. =D

[jasmine987]

NKOTB was my first concert haha I had the dolls to remember those I had a Donnie and a Jordan doll.

Did anyone out there have a pogo ball I loved mine It was a pink ball with a black and white checkered foot platform.

Also you know you are an 80s girl if your BFF was a cabbage patch doll!

[Sister of the groom]

LOL!!! That was great! I LOVED Doogie Howser. And the fluorescent colors-I was one of those that wore them head to toe-probably a little longer than I should have!

[leanmoomercows]

I remember this ALL! =D

[Lovely]

I remember this all, but I especially remember wanting a slap bracelet and wanting a pair of pink jelly shoes FOREVER! I finally got them and I was so excited ^^ Hee hee
