Set my time machine for 1989.

That's about $1425 these days.  And so CONVENIENT. :D

Polaroid (1988)

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

So that's what make children start developing! They told me it was hormones. If they hadn't had so many Poloroid pictures taken of me as a kid, I would have never had to go through puberty!. 

 

It's "radical"!

80's weekend - Mall Madness.

We still play this at work.
Nothing like teaching young girls to charge it all away.

80's Weekend: Several My Little Pony commercials!

[boomdiada.livejournal.com]

Of course, My Little Pony is still with us! Just in a different form. But I still think these first ones were the best. So many poses! Boy ponies! Sea Ponies!

I always kind of get sticker shock when I buy a pony nowadays. Back in the day, five bucks bought a pony big as my hand. Now they're teensy-tiny, and they're still five bucks.

( And more under here! )

80's weekend - Extra Gum

[noluck-boston.livejournal.com]

Of all the gum jingles during this time, I think Juicy fruit is the most remembered. I think I like the Extra Gum commercials so much more.

I'll start off with an old one. Could it be more 80's? Tom Selleck wannabe driving an Optimist Prime look alike truck. Punky Brewster look alike too!

( Several more after the cut!!!! )

This is the 80's Enjoli woman with her shoulder pads and a new second stanza. The original was 1978.

It just isn't Holiday Time without....

Jem and the Holograms/Misfits doll commercial

[ejia-arath03.livejournal.com]

Because you know in your heart of hearts that Jem is truly, truly outrageous.

While I never played with the doll line (I had already discovered videogames), I absolutely loved the show.
