I graduated in Upstate NY in 1990. The girls referred to our bangs as our ‘bouf’. Parents & teachers called them ‘Mall Bangs. And my Dad called it my ‘Rooster Doo’. I also remember the bangs being called “Joke Catchers” (catching the jokes that went over our heads). Where did you grow up & what...

Can anyone else relate to this late 80s / early 90s hair don't? There were several different names for it in my area: 'mall bangs.' The 'wall o bangs.' 'the Rooster. 'the Claw'. For a while my friends & I were nicknamed 'the poof bang gang' I do know, It was a lot of work! My hair took me an...

What are some of the funniest character interactions you’ve seen? We’ve had breakfast at Cinderella’s castle 3 times over the years. Each time, those wicked stepsisters Drizella & Anastasia absolutely stole the show. Loud & annoying, they look like they are having an absolute ball while they‘re...

It was 1990, & Philadelphia. Our school didn’t do the wings so much, it was all about the height.

Today's my birthday, so when I opened Facebook this morning, I figured I might get a well-wish, or two from my friends and family. To my surprise there was a TON of activity on my normally quiet profile. There were a few Happy Birthdays, then at 10:00, my thoughtful turd of a younger brother...

I've seen ads all over for matte liquid lip stains (Lipsense, etc). Does anyone have any experience using them. I've tried long wear lipsticks in the past, but they always made my lips super dry. After spending time with my sister and her kids last weekend, she pointed out that I've become "That...

We are getting psyched for a bunch of concerts this summer, our Rascal Flatts show is only a few days away! At work today, we were talking best concerts and first concerts. My first concert was New Kids on the Block, in the early 90s. Somewhere I have a picture of me and my 2 friends before...

This spring is my 25th class reunion (class of 90 rules!!). Good, in that I am excited to see and reminisce with my old friends. And Bad, in that OMG its been 25 years since high school! My husband (and HS sweetheart) and I have been flipping through the yearbooks and having a blast looking at...

Who knew Hammer Pants were so wide spread. My mom had my senior portrait hanging in her hall for ever. I finally convinced her to take it down. My kids Loved to laugh at it at every visit. The camera guy had to pull way back, but some of my hair got cut off. TOO big to fit! And I worked a long...

What trend makes your eyes roll instinctively, when it comes up? What's "the look" you sported that, looking back just seems so ridiculous? Is there a year (or decade) in your life where all the pictures have mysteriously disappeared? Anyone brave enough to post a pic? Jen Who got outed...

The 80s is always called the "big hair" decade (and with good reason!,). I am wondering what particular year you think was the peak of big-ness! Looking back at family pictures, there was all kinds of "big hair". Wide, permed, crazy, teaded. Quite frankly, my hair was "tallest" in 1992...

I was reading a post yesterday and the author brought up the "dreaded" MIL hug and kiss. The discussion made me laugh and also a little sad at the same time. My MIL was (im)famous for her kisses. The very first time that I was introduced to her, at a family birthday party, she immediately gave...

Graduated in 1992. Through out highschool I wore acid washed, pegged jeans. Usually graphic Tees with my sweet acid washed jean jacket, or leather jacket. I was a big Bon Jovi fan... Until 93 or 94, I had huge, massive, immovable hair! I had to get up at 5:00 on school days to "do" my hair...

What year did you graduate? What were the fashion highs and lows that year? Is your senior picture something you'd display, or something you would bury deep into a drawer?

What's the worst fashion trend or fad you took part in? Bonus points for pictures!

Do you remember the makeup your mother, aunt or grandmother used to use? There weren't a lot of choices back then when it came to beautifying? I remember my grandmothers vivid red lipstick. For as long as I knew her, she always used the same, Revlon "Fire and Ice" It was so bold and bright, and...

1989-1992 1 (alright, close to 2) can(s) a week of hairspray. A teasing comb, a blowdryer, and about 45 minutes every morning = "mall bangs" Almost everyone in my school used to try to get theirs the highest. In chemistry class one year, a friend of mine got too close to a bunsen burner and...

I think the worst thing I've ever done to my hair is bleached it. It was in the early 90s and I must've misunderstood the directions because I figured I was supposed to put the little plastic cap on after applying the bleach. After a minute or so I started wondering why it was feeling a little...

I forgot about Vavoom! It was in a really tall, black and neon pink can. You needed an extra large purse to carry it around! I typically used Rave (level 4...Mega) or Aqua Net in the pink and white can "Extra (!) Super hold". I guess "Super hold" wasn't stiff enougn... When I had extra money, I...

For you ladies (and gents) who rocked some big hair during the 80s: What brand of hairspray did you use? Do you remember someone whose hair was the biggest in town? We went to an 80s party last weekend, and I went to my old faithful "Freeze and Shine". My bangs stood tall all night, and were...
