Re: Who Did You Think was Cool Back Then?

The other "cool" trend was the bi-level haircuts which are now known as mullets.

Oh the mullet!!! We also called it 'hockey hair' unfortunately i still see far too many people with that hairstyle still..

I was a huge Molly Ringwald movie fan too..Pretty in Pink was my fav...

Donny Osmond and David Cassidy of course.

Who's hairstyle did you like or want to copy?

Lots of mauve. And big shoulder pads. I was much more fashionable in those days, I guess. Although I still kinda like big hair....

Hey, they used to say the bigger the shoulder pads, the smaller the hips...anything to make our hips looks smaller, ay?

Let's see, in the 80's I loved Michael Jackson (man, it's kind of embarassing to admit that now), and a latin boy band named Menudo (anyone else remember Menudo Mania?)

I tried to look Menudo up to see if I could find one of his songs, but I came up with nothing. I don't remember him, but can you tell us some of his top hits?

And I still think that 80's music is the best.

I second that!!

I loved the new kids on the block, like all the other girls my age. Also Kirk Cameron was soooo hot. I also had a crush on Jo from the facts of life LOL

That is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I was super jealous of Blair's hair. It was so Charlie's Angels.

Did anyone ever watch Blossom? I thought her brother Joey was soooo cute.

I used to be a big fan of River Phoenix too. When he died I cried for like a month.

Menudo is a latin boy band, not just one person. Honestly, I don't remember any specifics about the songs. Just that I thought they were hotties.

The only celebrity that I ever cried about was the day Lucille Ball died. She reminded me of my Mom so I cried throughout the day when they announced it. I'm a big "I Love Lucy" fan!!

Re: Who Did You Think was Cool Back Then?

Speaking of Charlie's Angels...(oh, were we?) I loved Jaclyn Smith. I thought she was the most gorgeous thing. Looking back at pictures of when I was in my 20's I see now that my hair was styled very much like hers. I didn't go for the Farah look though. And Jackie used to also be on the Loveboat sometimes. I loved the Loveboat. They just don't make shows like that anymore. sigh
