I was having this weird day of flashbacks. I was listening to 80's music and really enjoying the whole flashback to the "good old days" I had a few years I would really like to forget but for the most part it was pretty cool. I was showing my kids that I lived all of my teenage years in the 80's. In 1980 I was 12 years old and just becoming a teenager. I was in 7th grade my first year of Jr High and just starting to care about clothes, hair and what was "cool"at least in my eyes.
Well I came across this video of Sheena Easton and started laughing because I suddenly remembered how much I loved Sheena Easton and how much I wanted to look like her. I loved her songs and her style. I thought she was so cool. Then I started looking at pictures of me and laughed at how long that style stuck with me. Wow! it's really funny how much we are influenced by media even though my obsession with Sheena ended while I was still in Jr High you can see my style stayed pretty much consistant.
Here I am in 1991 the 80's have just ended and I am still clinging to that style even though I am 23 years old. Do i regret it? nope I still kinda like it. Hey I am OF THE 80's it is part of me and as funny as it seems to look back. It wasn't that bad. ;)ENJOY THE VIDEO!!!!
and the songs...

I never realized how hip you really were in the 80's. I was too busy skinning my knees and climbing trees. Though I'm glad you are not stuck there now. I'm glad you are still hip today. I'm a 90's girl, and lately I've been wondering if I could still pull of the Rachel hair from the first years of "Friends." Too dated? I'm sure it is :)
I loved the 80's! It is still some of my favorite music to listen to.
It was a great time to be a teenager. So fun to make the hair as big as possible, and play with different shades of makeup, etc.
