What do you remember...

Nebb · November 2010

I know it wasnt an "in" thing but I took the tiny backpack thing a step further and got a freaking tiny TELE TUBBY backpack when I was in grade 9. Oy.

I had two of them, they were a big deal when I was in the 8th - 9th grade. Being super original, mine were named Fluffy and Hairy.

[QUOTE]I remember flannel. I also remember going through a 'grunge' phase which involved greasy hair and wrinkled clothing...why would I have ever thought that was cool?

When I was in grade 7, Daniel Johns from Silverchair went through a gross stringy dirty hair phase where he never washed it. I decided at that point that in order to be cool I had to stop washing my hair too. I think I went a month without properly washing my hair before kids started to make fun of me and I realized how gross it was.

This makes me feel better :)

I also had 'bicycle shorts' with fluorescent stripes down the side and a bathing suit with similar stripes and a ZIPPER! I can't believe my mother bought me a bathing suit with a zipper!

Steph0871 · November 2010

oh! Those awful neon color track suits? Like the windbreakers with matching pants?

Chi_Chi · November 2010

Speaking of bathing suits, I can remember when my parents started letting me wear a 2 piece bathing suit in public. I thought I was hot shiit.

Nebb · November 2010

Know what I miss? Wearing hot pink snow pants with the overall straps. Those were awesome.

<div>Ah snow pants. I remember when my mom would try to get me to wear them in grade 7 and I freaked out!</div>

Chi_Chi · November 2010

Wow, 3 way calling. That got me in trouble lots of times.

dmiller9274 · November 2010

Oh I had the biker shorts with the neon stripes. I had some with a blue stripe and pink ones too. This also reminded me of Umbros. I loved Umbros.

AHHHH!!! sun in. I had some god awful hair because of that stuff. Im naturally dark dark brown, so you can imagine how dumb I looked.

dmiller9274 · November 2010

Same here...my hair is almost black. Sun In left these God awful orangish fried strands of hair. I also tried peroxide...it's amazing how stupid kids can be.

number55 · November 2010

t-shirt slides...I had them.

And I too did sun-in but first I did hydrogen peroxide with the hair dryer! I looked HORRIBLE with all blond hair!

Chi_Chi · November 2010

I used to think my mom was the worse mom ever because she wouldn't let me use sun in. I now thank her. My hair is almost black also.

Along the lines of hair stuff, I also thought that wash and curl shampoo and my hot stix curlers were the greatest thing ever. Then mane and tail horse shampoo got really popular because some celebrity claimed to only use horse shampoo.

This thread is making me feel old!

Oh my god! Yak bak!! I freakin' loved mine.

OMG this is the greatest thing ever! I was just telling my FI the other day about my jazzercise kit when I was younger. I even told him about the head band, plastic barbells and long ribbon thingy. and the girl in the spuds mckenzie t-shirt is awesome.

TheCranberry · November 2010

-Peasant dresses with combat boots
-short skirts with socks that came right above the knee
-denim overalls where you only wear one strap up across the shoulder
-Cross Colors clothes

I don't think I could make a gimp bracelet now. I was so good back in the day! I also remember the biker shorts with the neon stripes.

I had a bikini that had overall straps.

Anysunrise · November 2010

Sigh. My stuff is all still around! I remember I got my first CD player just in time for the first iPod to come out. And Pokemon. But that's still around, kind of. And the Spice Girls.

I hate these threads >.>
