OMG, :roflmao: I forgot about that MASH game. That was a lot of fun. Also, the putting your name with the boy you liked and then doing some math equation using the letters to see if you two were a perfect match. :twitch:

We were press to have leather jackets, Goose down coats, coach bags and Rider boots with taps on the heels to keep them from running down. Agnes boots were also a big thing in the 80's. The lip licker tin can lip glosses with flavors that smelled good like Cherry Cola and Pineapple. :yum:

Mainman and Steve and others who grew up in the PG DC line area may remember The Madness Shop on Georgia Ave NW and all the gear you could get from there. I had a white Curtis Blow/Gilligan hat that said NIKKI and I remember saving to buy that thing and paying for each letter. :smile:

Does anyone remember the fad of wearing one gold/silver fake nail. There were a lot of cool things from the 80's. I could've lived there forever. So, yes, this be me as well. :diva:

And there was also Commander Salamander and Electromax in G-town and Up Against the Wall!

I, personally, am still singing "We are the World"! I remember HAVING TO HAVE that ?record? ?cassette? and played it until my mind went numb - AND DON'T LET ANYONE INTERRUPT ME WHILE WATCHING THE VIDEO! :roflmao:
