Something from the 80's I can't let go of
I still have lots of things from the 80's in my parents' attic: My Little Ponies, Cabbage Patch Kids, Barbies galore. But I was too lazy to dig them out and take pictures, so I'm cheating a little here and using my brother. My brother was born in the mid-80's, the year I was in kindergarten. Today we are very close, but growing up we rarely got along as well as it appears in this photo.
A picture of me from the 80's

Things to note in this photo, which was taken at my super-cool birthday party held at the roller skating rink:
The stonewashed jeans.
How I've quite carefully crimped my hair.
The bangs that begin at the back of my head.
That I have lots of friends, as is apparent by the friendship bracelets stacked on my wrist.
What you can't see is the slap bracelet I have on the other arm. And the plastic thingamajig through which I have threaded the corner of my shirt. (Remember those...circular with a bar in the middle to cinch the shirt tight?) And the pink socks that perfectly match my pink shirt. And, of course, my lavendar hi-tops.
A CD or movie I have from the 80's

This is all I could find. I was (and still am, to be quite honest) a big fan of The Little Mermaid. I was not such a big fan of Dirty Dancing or the soundtrack, but it was the cool thing to have. Actually, in the 80's I was listening to Dolly Parton (shut up shut up shut up) but I don't think I have any of her records or tapes anymore.
