Yes I was singing Shot Through the Heart but I stoped to sing we are the world. Being a Jersey girl also, I didn't think my hair could get any biger.

I used to put my hair up with as many of the most obnoxious neon scrunchies as I could find, so the bony tail stuck out of my head like a rod with a tuft of frizzy blonde at the end (see: side ponytail)...

Does anybody else remember when Burger King had a diverse cast of cartoon kids to represent their kids meals? The "high top fade" hair reminds me of one of those kids.:lookaroun

Yes! :lol:

I also did the obnoxiously loud neon scrunchies piled on top of each other so that my hair stood straight up. Those were the days....:lol:

Totally...fer shure. :animwink: And I loved wearing banana clips in my hair. :lol:

Just had my 20th high school reunion last summer - we all joked about dressing 80s for the 25th....turned up collars, pinned pants - the mullets might look a little different with grey hair though...:lookaroun

I had probably 5 banana clips, though I never really knew how to wear them!:lol:

I loved my banana clips!!!

Was I the only one who had to figure it would take AT LEAST the entire afternoon to go and get my perm done?!?!?! I was always ticked that I could never get my bangs to stand up but I knew it was going to be a good hair day when I could get the rolls on top of my head just right with my curling iron. Ever wonder how many layers of the atmosphere we killed with all that hair spray?:lol:

you give love a bad name bad name

BTW my DS who is 16 and my DD who is 14 both appreciate the wonder that is Bon Jovi, much to the distresss of their father, the Kiss fan(he's from the 70's).

ohhhh, you're a loaded gunnnnnn

This is great! The 70s one applied to me too in some cases but this one was hilarious! My mom got the best Bon Jovi birthday cake for my 13th birthday *sighs* :dazzle:

I love this! I still have my banana clip. I don't wear it though. Last March my dd's gs troop had a back to the 80's cosmic bowling party. It was so fun dressing her up!
