If YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S ...

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 FantasyIsland.

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

You owned a "Slip-n-Slide",on which you injured yourself on a sprinkler
head more than once.

You owned "Klick-Klacks" and smacked yourself in the face more than
once.

You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy
Hamill" 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 salt-water sandals. (is this an east
coast thing??) yes, the wooden flip flops with the metal buckle that got
rusty and hard to adjust.

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! way too funny!

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.
When you walked, the "wings" flapped up and down, looked like you
were gonna "take off"

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


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

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 David Cassidy..?"

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 had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

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 drowned yourself in Love's Baby Soft - which was the first "real"
perfume you ever owned .. .


You glopped your lips in Strawberry Roll-on lip gloss till it
almost dripped off.

You had a David Lee Roth t-shirt... And he was HOTT!!

KC and the Sunshine band was ROCKIN'!

You watched your Mom bawl when Elvis died. She may have even had a shrine in the living room.

Shawls. Crocheted ones, plain ones, rainbow ones, shiny ones. Lots of shawls.

Jumpsuits.

Making "Gone With the Wind" dresses from your Mom's old ruffley kitchen curtains.





(My Mom and I can't remember much else, I think we blocked it out!!:lol:)

I never turned mine over, but my cousin did pinch her leg on the see-saw.

I love reading these things!! Not only did I have the shrinky dinks, but had this thing that made these sort of stained glass looking flowers. It's a wonder with all the chemicals in the toys we played with that our kids didn't come out messed up from them. :lmao:

I've not seen anything in Strawberry Shortcake as ho'd out as Bratz. Am I right or have I just not seen it yet?

My little sister's room was filled with Strawberry Shortcake stuff. Smelled like a fruit salad in there.
