I remember the Dawn dolls! She was the blonde, then there was a redhead with green eyes named...uh...Gina? I remember my friends were mad 'cause the redhead was supposed to have straight hair, and somehow I got one that had wavy hair - she was beautiful!

Actually found a website devoted to these dolls:

The redhead's name was Glori - and I totally don't remember any of the other dolls on the page...but I do remember all of Dawn's clothes seemed to be sleeveless, and had a snap-collar top.

You just reminded me that "The Wonderful World of Disney" came on at 7:00 Sunday nights. Wild Kingdom followed it, and then Lawrence Welk.

Watching the Three Stooges with my dad when he got home from work. He'd sit there and laugh no end.

My parents paid $110 a year for my private school education. I can't get DS's books for that.

Converse sneakers

Little Kiddles

Weebles Wobble but they don't fall down

I remember when my oldest sister went to see the Beetles at Shea Stadium.

That's them! Angie was my favorite...long dark hair. Thanks for posting the link! I'll have to go back there. I wish they'd bring these guys back.

I remember my mom cleaning the oven because they didn't clean themselves!
Remember the drive through Photo-mats where you dropped off your film?

 

[lvs_eeyore]

I remember the very first Sesame Street. I was six when it first aired.

Multi colored shag carpeting.

Romper Room and Kukla Fran and Ollie.

The Marlboro Man.

Alcohol commercials on TV....Harveys Brystol Cream

Gloria Vanderbilt Jeans.

The jeans with the rainbow stitching that ran up the legs.

Gouchos

Madress shirts with the metalic thread running through them.

A time before computers, calculators, video games where the only thing to do was to watch tv or play board games.

The first EZ Bake oven.

The dolls that you pushed the belly button and the hair grew. I know one of them was called Carrie.

Hey, goofy girl.. that brings back memories...


I was in high school when the challenger blew up... some of us are older

I remember the first challenger flight in 1982 I believe. ... My school had one TV, and they fit as many kids as they could in the room to watch it land.


I had many Garfields... back in the early 80's.


I had a Cher doll (hair down to ankles) and a pair of Donnie and Marie dolls.. (with purple outfits no less!)

I am from the first class of baby boomers to hit the schools!

Gravity and the loss of elasticity has pulled my cheeks down to my chin.

My bones creak.

The same thing happend to me. Of course, we grabbed rulers and pointed them at people while hitting the space bar to get that cool machine gun effect

I sent off for the "Early bird" set of four Star Wars figures (offered by General Mills) and had them before they were released to the general public.

Like a fool, I played with them.

A few of the lunch boxes I had (which I see fetching good prices at flea markets now)

The Six Million Dollar Man
Sid and Marty Kroft Power Hour (Dr. Shrinker, WonderBug, Electro-Woman and Dyna-Girl, etc.)
Marvel Super Heros

Our video game system came from Sears..it had Pong, Hockey, and two Grand Prix race games. I thought I was hot stuff with my Atari 2600 and Activision cartridges!

Yes, we learned history and grammer with School House Rock. I bought the DVD last week. I learned my moral lessons through Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

And I'm too old to even watch this now, but I saw G-Force a few years ago and thought, "Wasn't that Battle of the Planets?"
Yes, Speed Racer was my favorite cartoon as a kid....

I played "Centipede" on the video machines in bars when I was in college and the drinking age was 18 so I could be in a bar legally!

I remember no cable television. I remember getting excited when the UHF station came to town. I remember watching Walter Cronkite report about the Vietnam War on evening news. I was also born in the state of Hawaii a month before she became a state. My birth certificate states I was born in a territory. I remember my brother telling my mother that he had joined the Army and was off to fight the war and her begging him to wait until he was drafted.

My Mary Poppins metal lunch box on the first day of first grade.

Seeing Mary Poppins in the movie theater!

And the Sound of Music...Dad fell asleep during that one. I still recall him snoring.

Seeing Bambi in the drive-in theater.

Dad singing Scarlet Ribbons to me every night at bedtime when I was no older than 3 or 4. When I was 4 we moved to another town.

Sitting in the rocker at Christmas enjoying the tree and singing Christmas songs with A John Gary Christmas...can't find that album any where!

Having a Pixie haircut.

Waiting for the black and white TV to "warm up."
