I Still have my talking Alf dollSo I trawled through my old emails and found one with the below pictures. I have such found memories and wow, how daggy we once were. How great was it.
I remember having ruffle skirts, singing to MC Hammer even doing the ‘Hammer Dance’ I could (still can) recite all the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby. I had a side pony tale, occasionally with crimped hair... I even have a photo with wearing the ruffle skirt, crimped hair and I was holding a rubik’s cube that I had skilfully completed 3 sides.
I played with skipping ropes, played elastics, played hopscotch and climbed trees.
I had a crush on Raphael the TMNT, even to the extent of having a TMNT birthday cake; yes there is photographic evidence.
I loved NKOTB and Bon Jovi. I sang (poorly) to various Madonna, Bangles and Cyndi Lauper songs. General_Boy knows a little secret about Bon Jovi and me ;-)I remember rushing to get home to watch Duck Tails and The Fresh Prince. How innocent we all were…
I love reminiscing the good old days, where things were simpler and the only hardship we faced was whether I’d have a ‘movie party’ a ‘bowling party’ or attend a friends Cabbage Patch doll birthday party. Unbelievably so, I still have my cabbage Patch dolls. They are so ugly.
I was jealous of a friend that had 2 Hypercolor T-shirts, I didn't have one
I had many of these 'friendship bands' and I loved making them
I was a Cool Cat, I had a pair of LA Gears, complete with the key ring
What do the kids of today have?

My dude Calvin sung a song about this - it's called "Acceptable in the 80's"...
Cabbage Patch Dolls ruled. How dare you call them ugly... :o)
This blog post was pretty much the best.
I used to wear leggings, tie-die tshirts, runners AND read the babysitters club.
Coolest kid in school? Absolutely.
I know a friend who loved Raph so much she has a tattoo of him on her hip.
Ant, they are ugly! Not cute at all.
I think everything was acceptable in the 80's but they should all stay there, except some of the music ;-)
Rosanna, i never got into the babysitters club but most of friends read them.
Indy, how old was she?
oh my god I loved my cabbage patch doll so much (gloria veronica) - but ended up selling her at a garage sale we had - when I was about 16. Is it wrong to want her back now? My dad used to call her 'ugly face'.
Hahahaaaaa... and I will take that secret to my grave... provided I see some pics!!!! :P
Mez, my dolls name Rosemary. They will be a collectors item. I can't bring myself to give her away.
G_Boy, when I have access to a scanner ;-)
