The Wall was so depressing. I remember crying... there was a little boy on the playground and he was so lonely... I seem to remember that one scene...

You must be a first wave Gen X'er. Those are borderline 70s things.

You are truly a Gen Xer! I watched St. Elmo's Fire over and over again. I also LOVED Working Girl and Baby Boom!

"St. Elmo's Fire" was the singular motivating force underlying my purchase of a Chrysler LeBaron convertible as my first car. I'm still waiting on that letter from Lee Iacocca.

Yes! Had all of these. Loved the Fiorucci store (grew up in NYC), couldn't really afford anything in there but was so fun to check out. It's now a Pottery Barn. Sigh.

I don't know ANY of these!!



C'mon! Tretorns? Everyone wore those. Bermuda bags? That you could button on and off the wooden frame?

What about those Chinese black mary jane flats? Remember those?


Np. Oh the Chinese flats! Oh yes.

What about Kaepas, with the upper and lower laces, AND the little plastic triangles you could switch out for different colors?!

This one really made me laugh. Loved these.


Lol, me too. And that game where you had categories (city, type of house, type of car, number of children) and picked answers for each, then thought of a number, like six, and you crossed out every sixth answer. At the end you had your future!


MASH!


YES! Mansion - Apartment - Shack - House.

It's how you knew that you'd be living in a shack in Orlando with Joey McIntyre and your 6 kids.
