The wedding pic post got me thinking.....Let's post our biggest, baddest, hairstyle or crazy outfit from the 80's or early 90's. For all of us who wanted to be that girl in the Whitesnake video (and can remember television BEFORE cable) and used Aqua Net....lets have ourselves a good laugh 80's style!!

I've got to find my album and I'll post some, I promise. I wanted to get this post up there because I know it might take awhile to dig out 80's photos!!

Everyone post one!! Even if you were born in the 80's ....it will be fun to see where we all were!!

How fun!!! What about us all posting our Senior Year Picture. I think it would be entertaining to hear what was in style while each of us was in high school. It would also be interesting to hear what was in style in the South versus the East, West Coast & Midwest. I will have to dig out some pics.

This should be a really funny post! I really didn't want to go first but have to get pics in before I leave for the day. I couldn't find my senoir pic, or my yearbooks! I will have to go to my parents house to find them....so here are a few to laugh at in the meantime. These were all taken somewhere between 1985-1987.
Before a concert-BonJovi/Bad Company/Skid row



No that isn't a girl with me, it's Paul! He was going for the rock star look. Rolling Eyes

I've got one of me when I was a "stewardess". Man I almost hate to find it cause it'll just give Andy ammunition. At some point my hair and makeup turned a nice corner and I became a Flight Attendant.

I'll post in a while.

What a great topic! Most of my highschool/college pictures are at my mom's. Here's what I have.. The first two are from the early 90's. The last one is my best friend and I in my college room.

Beth, I LOVE it!!!! You have got to love the Guns- n- Roses poster! That is such a classic 80's early 90's thing!!! I am glad I am not the only one embarassing myself. Paul asked me last night why those pics were out, I didn't have the heart to tell him I posted them online! I think he would die if he knew posted him with long hair!!!(especially since now he has NO hair!)
I wanted to add - that concert pic- well if My mother had seen me that night she would have never let me out of the house! I used to practically live at my best friend's house back then! I can't believe I actually remember that concert! Warrant cracks me up!

I am still searching for my album. I know it's down in the basement. I told my husband to get down there and FIND IT!! LOL. I promise I'll have pics today. We are staying in most of the day and getting organized and maybe some food shopping!! How exciting!! I won't let my fellow 'big hair' sisters down!! LOL!! Wink

Heather, I did the same thing with the clothes. I used to change at my friends house before going out. My parents would have NEVER let me out of the house....especially with the short shorts and skimpy tops of the early 90's when I was finally legal to go to clubs!!

I didn't even notice the Guns-n-Roses poster until you pointed it out Heather. I use to LOVE them, I went to a Carrie Underwood concert this summer and she played three of there songs, I freaked out. I was singing and acting like a fool and my daughter was looking at me like I was crazy,lol!! Carrie and her band did a GREAT job with the songs!!! We played the song Patience at our wedding!!

This post is cracking me up!! Bringing back some GREAT memories and having a fun time looking at old pics.

heather,

My friend in the picture had the BIG hair! We looked so funny together. She was VERY TALL and I'm so short. I loved Guns N Roses. My first concert was Skid Row and Bon Jovi. I saw Warrent at a small club in Rome, NY before they got big! WE were in the front row!

OH what memories! I can't believe the 80's clothes are back!!

OMG, I love everyone's hair!! I haven't located the album....but I found these 2 in another smaller album.

This is me and my brother in 1989




This is me....the one with the shorts on. Remember those thick elastic belts....got one of those on. Oh, and someone must have forgotten to tell me suntanning was bad for you!! This pic is from August 1988. This is at my roommate from college's house in NJ. We used to travel there on the weekends to go to the 18 and over clubs. This would be an example of an outfit my parents would never let me leave the house in....had they seen it!! LOL..

Oh my god, I love it!!! Rhonda, I have a pair of those boots in the back of my closet. I have never been able to make myself throw then away!!!! I will never wear them again but...I used to wear them(although in back)until I wore holes in the soles. I thought they looked so hot! That makes me laugh. Lisa- I remember those eighteen and older clubs!!! You had the big aqua net hair perfected!

Okay, this is just down right cracking me up. You mean all over the nation, everyone was dressing just like ME???? I thought that it was just us in our tiny little town, and then at my corny university. I thought it was a "Wisconsin thing". You have no idea how relieved I am that this was all over!!! I have to find some of my pix, so my "big hair lovin sisters" can see me too. I am cracking up to no end. And yes, I had a Def Leppard t shirt. And a Lover Boy t shirt. Oh my goodness. However, I never showed the skin, cuz I was too self consious. I was afraid to wear anything that revealed anything! I even wore a t shirt and shorts over my swim suit. Very modest then, some things never change.LOL I promise, I will not let my "sisters in big hair" down, and I will find some more photos. OH MY GOSH. YOU ALL LOOK LIKE ME AND MY FRIENDS. I am freaking out!!!!!!

This is sooo funny! You all are making me hair JEALOUS!! I have such fine hair, I had so much trouble getting it to be big! LISA-- I think your hair wins it hands down for being the biggest.

Rhonda--love the boots and the shirt in the picture with your brother!!

I honestly never had the big hair. I was and always have been a pony tail girl (now claw clip too). I do have a horrific picture from when I was in the 7th grade, but that is not retrievable, so my Sr. pic and HS graduation will have to do. Not much of a change- just more weight and wrinkley eyes.

(No, not my b/f...just an amazing friend that I grew up with. I miss him a lot).

(Laughing as I head downstairs to see if I can find any really good pictures of myself.)
