Wow, usually I don't post stuff like this, but this time around it really brought back memories. Especially the one about tape recording a song off the radio using your portable tape player. I know some of the girls on here can relate to this stuff too! Blast from the past.


YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S IF...

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them
down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that
actually worked.

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with
flowers on it.

You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had
metal wheels.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute

You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.

You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention the "Dorothy
Hamil" because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. People
sometimes thought you were a boy.

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession.

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon, but never got it..

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple satiny
shredded outfits.

You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the
trapeze.

The swing set tipped over at least once.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole &
the buckle).

You also had a pair of salt-water sandals.

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little

House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck
in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!

You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink.

Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers" and you
kept it "pretty" with the Goody comb you kept in your back pocket.

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends,
Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.

You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not
plastic.

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of
Hazzard was your boyfriend. And if you didn't get one of the Duke
boys...Ponch or John would be your alternates.

Every now and then "It's a Hard Knock Life" from the movie, "Annie"
will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.
Damn you!

YOU had Star Wars action figures, too!

It was a big event in your household each year when the "Wizard of Oz"

would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping
bags!

You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: "Who will I marry.
Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?"

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday, Night Fever, and Fame
soundtrack record album.

You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick
God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird potholders made on a plastic
loom. Pot holders I believe they were called "loom loopers"

You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable
tape player up to the speaker.

You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you
ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club. Double score if it was

a teddy bear dressed in clothing.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy
Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)

You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics.

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart

or rainbow designs.

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.

You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat. You spent all your
allowance on smurfs and stickers for your sticker album!
