There are other beauty injections besides Botox, however, people don’t realize the like Botox injections were also used for chronic migraine suffers and, Juvaderm for lip injections is used as numbing medication to help hold the mouth open for throat surgeries and, if the doctors used way too much it stung like crazy! I would never use either one for beauty because, people also tend to not realize that even when, Botox is used for migraines a side effect is on site injection pain and, the side effects fells much worse than the injections!
Parachute pants, stirrup pants, big earrings, paint splattered design - had a shirt like that with matching earrings which was a fave back in the day, flats, blue eye shadow, listening to the top 100 music countdown on New Year's Eve, music videos all day long. Phones finally got call waiting and three way calling. I could go on and on. Class of '83.

501s were the hottest thing anyone could wear! Shrink to fit button fly! With Vans or topsiders😂. And surf shirts ! And pucca shell necklaces! And bonne belle lipgloss!
The 80's were the best time of life. Cruising with my friends on friday nights, hanging out till 4am just playing board games or video games or TTRGs. The best friendships I had were from back then. Sadly, only one of those friendships remain as they others have died or moved on. It's an odd and morose thing, being the only one who remembers those great times. When I am gone, no one will remember them. Cherish the memories of that special time for those who have them, because along with you they will be gone far too soon, with no one left to lement what has been lost.
Great point. When those of us who were around during the 80s die.... those memories will be gone forever. We are like living relics of the best decade ever. The 1980s was awesome!
The BEST of times!!! .. I still have my Farrah hair-do 😂.. my daughter who is 28 says let it go!! 😂… absolutely never I say!!! People actually compliment me on it so someone likes the vintage look, I guess 😂… ohhhh I’d go back to my glory days in a heartbeat!!! The world today is no longer simple. All I needed then was my Walkman, my cherry lipgloss and meeting my friends at the mall on a Friday night!! The world today is much too complicated, social media is destroying our younger generation and the world is just full of hatred for the most part. It’s just so sad! Thank goodness for videos like these!!! 😊
Re social media: Sad but true. It has destroyed some family relationships and friendships in my life, but it has also helped me renew others so it's a mixed blessing/curse.
The thing I remember about girls in the 1980s was Bonnie Bell lip gloss with flavors I don’t know one girl that didn’t have one I think they made one that girls could wear around their neck called The lip smacker lol
Leg warmers, wearing jeans with pumps. Smoking in the girls room oh yeah, we used to burn the tip of the black eyeliner before applying to the waterline.
Because I was born in 1951 and my daughter in 1979, my assumption was this would not be for me. Until I watched, of course. Then it all came back through the movies of John Hughes. Very cool!
My wife still has her original Caboodle from the 80s . She was going to throw it away, I told her there is no way she is tossing it . I live in the past and don't let go of nothing from the 70s and 80s . I still have all my vinyl records and cassettes and still play them on my old school system .
The suze canal was demined, the Soviet invaded afghan, and in a few years the American and UN forces will defend freedom and liberty, in the name of uncovering supposedly WMD’s.
Designer Jeans for girls and skinny guys. Girls wore Gloria Vanderbilts, Sassoon,Jordache, Sergio Valente. Their commercials and billboards were everywhere, at least for me growing. Up in the Woodland Hills area of SF Valley. Reebok’s from Nordstrom. Girls and leg warmers were everywhere, probably because leggings had not been invented. Great times for sure. Thanks for the memories. Richard
I always wanted a pair of Vanderbilt jeans but they didn't come in fat girl sizes. Teddy Jeans dud though and I loved them. (Teddy Pendergrass hubba hubba)
Yes that did. Gloria Vanderbilt perfume and Bongo jeans. Natural looking girls. Had a girl buy me a swatch and put a dab of perfume on my watch. I’d smell it and think of her. I miss those days.
I wish these commenters would get their stories straight. They say The fifties was the best decade The sixties was the best decade The seventies was the best decade Thev eighties was the best decade I GUARANTEE YOU, thirty years from now, they will say the 2020’s was the best decade
@@gustavsorensen9301 people in the future saying 2020's was the best decade? eww... what a horrible thought! Nothing good has happened in this decade so far, and it's already half over! That's like saying the 1930's was a great decade!
I had a daybed and I swear to God I had the same exact bedding as shown in this video with the hearts on it lol. I used Finesse hair spray in a blue bottle. Who remembers that?! Shoulder pads were in everything, even t-shirts! Yup - I drank Crystal Light and took aerobics classes at our town gym in high school and wore neon leg warmers and a matching band around my forehead lol. I ate very little and thought I was “healthy”. I had a yellow SONY boombox with cassette player. Often played Michael Jackson, Madonna, Duran Duran, Prince, Cindy Lauper then switched to 80’s rock bands which I still listen to today. We’d also watch MTV for hours. I still remember the entire neighborhood gathering at our house to watch the world premiere of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and I was actually scared!! I wore white Keds everywhere. Not the most supportive sneaker lol. We wore black stretchy bracelets up our wrists and arms to be like Madonna. We wore one white sparkly glove on our left hand and learned to moonwalk to try and be like Michael Jackson. We wore white Vuarnet sunglasses in the summer, even at night lol. Seems like everyone had a Swatch Watch. I had the white one that eventually turned yellow lol. I still cherished my sticker books. What a collection I had! Everything from scratch n’ sniff to puffy stickers to giant glitter hearts. At sleepovers, we’d trade stickers for hours! We’d pass notes every day in class and never got caught. I had a bright yellow round “donut” telephone with push buttons which was rare - that style normally came in rotary only. I could go on and on… good times. Those memories are impossible to forget and easy to remember, especially every single summer night at the Cape (if you know, you know)
@@mandywalker3393 - Yep, I was a Finesse fan! I used the conditioner & hair spray too! I’m 52 and I remember in 8th grade I was finally allowed to wear makeup (eyeshadow only). Of course I wore blue eyeshadow. That fad quickly faded, so by 9th , beginning of high school, no more blue eyeshadow, but I wore blue eyeliner and blue mascara. I was allowed to wear any other makeup. Funny how blue makeup back then was such a big trend! By the time I graduated college and got my first (real) job in 1994, all my makeup was neutral colors. Not much has changed since. Going down memory lane with girls is always so much fun, even going way back to having sticker books and trading stickers for hours in grade school. Endless fun memories!
It was also a thing in the 70s, when, the used to have those machines everywhere! And, we had palm readers as well, my cousin came up to Indiana where they had put a palm reader where a old gas station was, the lady told my cousin no details but, there would be a bad accident, next thing you know right after she gets in her car and gets ready to pull out on the highway and, well my cousin was in a serious accident, they life -lined her to the hospital where she’s right down the hall from my dad/ her uncle! But, let’s just say she was lucky to had survived!
maybe it was different in different areas, but no one I know wore cut off shorts in the 80's. The girls who wore them in the 70's made it so that when I was in high school in the 80's we weren't' allowed to wear shorts to school. which was ridiculous because where i lived in 86-88 Jams were in style. basically knee length. Longer than the skirts i wore. I remember really wanting jordache jeans when I was in 5th grade. Definitely early 80's. don't remember tying shirts in knots. My mom sure wouldn't have let me do that. not if the belly was exposed. LOL
I was a teen in the 80s. I'm sure there are a lot of different memories of the decade. Some were great, some not so much. I had a stepdad that made my life crap. My parents were poor so I didn't have a lot of the "cool" stuff. You didn't talk about water beds- they were popular. Roller skating was big in my world. I liked wearing big colorful sweaters with pants that had straps to put around your feet that would tighten up when you sat down. Not real comfy. I also liked Levi's 501s with the button fly. Guys wore them too- made their butts look good! Lol!
Paper Rubix cubes. I remember those days ❤ I remember the long phone cords and the caboodles were Awesome. I folded mine like a football. I had the Trundle bed. I used to use so much Aquanet and Bows. I remember using super glue to hold my fake nails on. I loved my Keds. The 80's style is starting to come back.😂😂😂
love the big hair too! a lot better than some of the crazy hair today, at least our hair was real and we weren't spending hundreds of dollars on crap!!
Cootie catchers! I'm a teacher, and just Monday a couple students were making cootie catchers! I remarked that I hadn't seen one in a long time (aside from Gilmore Girls)! I didn't know kids still made them. I used to know how to make them, but I can't remember now. Do y'all remember MASH, too?! (the game, not the show)
The 80s was the last social decade. Cable TV was around, but the 90s added internet and cell phone. Causing people to spend less face to face time. Back then, at pay phones, it was not unusual for one to ask a stranger for quarter for the call. In record stores people often talked to others about new music. And the same in video rental stores. There were many things were people were social. I really believe social behavior is in a downward trend.
uh.... not a whole lot of cell phone use in the 90's for teens and the internet was mostly dial up. I didn't even get a cell phone until around 2000 and I was aged 30. I might give the 90's that title. Btw, my kids are 19 and 24 now and talk to way more people than I ever did. The internet allows them to talk to people that live all over the world. So, you lose some things. You gain some things. It's all about perspective and how you were raised. My kids had playdates. Belonged to clubs. Had friends they played outside with. Be parents!
@@mandywalker3393 Taking on the internet is good, but it is not the same as having a group of friends to do tings with. Since I did not grow up with cell phones, they are still strange to me. I would not change my childhood for one today. Even in my teens and 20s, friends were the most important thing to me. Back when I was young and in my teends i did have many pen palls, so I guess, that is similar to internet friends. I watched some youtube videos of teens taking over internet and it was strange, in real life, one can't just disconnect. We had to learn to be understanding and very social.
It was also something the done in the 70s and, yes, I knew they were cootie catchers, they said, the idea came from China where paper folding was a art!
Yeah. I think you have a point. At least here in America the White women don't seem as good looking as the ones from the 1980s. I think after the 80s White American guys started to settle with too many ugly to average looking White females and as a result the amount of good looking White females decreased dramatically. That is my little theory anyway. I could be wrong.
@@deegee-zi5xm I wonder if it's because we stopped drinking whole milk. Too much weird food that people never ate before.Whole milk has fats and vitamins that we need.
I was born in 1967 so I started high school in 1981. My main question about that decade is who in the world thought that hairstyle was a good idea?? HAHAHAHA We kept Aqua Net Hairspray in business and they made a fortune off of us!! And that note passing was our version of todays texting!
I grew up during the 80’s. I was a teenager from 1983-89. I did some of those things,too. I had a cheaper brand that looked liked those Sharp radio with tape cassette in pink. I never had big hair during that decade. My hair was short and layered not liked it is now. I never had my ears pierced when I was a teenager. I had a brass headboard from 1982-93. I did dressed preppy for a couple years of high school. I wanted to be a little punk having very short hair with long bangs. Only thing that I never did was smoking a cigarette in my teens. It wasn’t for me. I remembered talking on a phone with a long cord and sitting on the stairs near the kitchen and the family room talking to a friend. My parents never yelled at me for being on the phone. My sister had a phone that was a line towards my parents bedroom phone in her teens.
I always got a kick out of the idea of these chemical corporations getting filthy rich off of the sale of hairspray and then blaming a bunch of girls for todays version of eco-terrorism.
I remember the note passing for sure, a girlfriend of mine and I did that all the time up untill the teacher snagged it and read it out loud for the class:) I loved the 80's so much!!!
Same at my school. That's were we learned to not put anything in writing that you wouldn't want everyone to see! More current generations should heed that lesson before pushing "send".
The higher the hair the better, my hair was like lacquer and gave me a few inches of height (I’m 5’1). I always had a few cans of the aqua net (white can with pink letters) in the sling bag I had. I definitely contributed to burning the ozone layer with the amount of hairspray I used. I’m sure my hair was also a fire hazard, too. I never knew the name of the paper fortune telling things. I remember making them when I was a kid in the late ‘70’s. I always was passing notes and doodling on the desks in high school. What a time to be alive. Before we know it tho, the future will become the past.😊
Saw high schoolers streaming out of their school today after classes, %99 were wearing black and gray and jeans. No color, no personality in their clothes.
I never had a Pound Puppy, Caboodle make up kit, or a small pastel cassette player. I had a proper heavy "boombox" that I carried around, before my first Sony Walkman. I did have a somewhat typical 80's hairdo, but I never teased it to the ceiling - it was just feathered & hair sprayed, no Aqua-net though as I preferred non aerosol pump bottles instead (still do). None of my teenage friends played "pretend shopping" using clipped coupons - LOL. But we did talk on the phone for hours on end. My mom was fed up up with me using the house phone so much that she got a separate line for my room with a different phone #. I had the push button phone that looked like a pair of red lips. 💋 😄
Would buy Aqua Net as a child and make a flame thrower out of it. Melted army men, and it sure was fun at the time. Didn't need influence by boring people, or sitting at home watching people have fun. We jumped on our bikes, and lived life.
I knew this gal in the 1970s and she was a bit ditzy. One morning while smoking, she was spraying her hair with Aqua net. Poof, she burned half of her hair off. She said she had to run down to a store, probably a Piggly Wiggly, ah but I diverge, and buy a wig in order to go into work at a bank. Those were the days my friend...
We partially torched a Major Matt Mason and buried him in a box about a foot down behind the vegetable patch with a note back around 1967. Every so often I wonder if anyone dug him up for a fence or garden, and what they must have thought.
I work for a local grocery store, 2 years ago I found a coupon from 1985 that a customer just randomly left on the shelf, kudos for keeping it for that long
In my 90s art school I had a "kaboodle" for my art supplies, except they were Grey and black and called Art Bin. I still have it actually. I also dated a girl from school who still had the high bangs.
My sister would be the first in the bathroom every morning on school days. After she emerged, there would be a fog of AquaNet in the air. I had to let it air out before going in to brush my teeth.
We'd come into the bathroom after Mom got ready for work ( with aqua net) and we'd say Mommmmmmmmmmmm! (We couldn't breathe). I remember the btrm door was covered in it, and our house was always clean; just not that door! LOL
😂 1986 "Fergie" bow, yes it is Sarah Ferguson royal wedding that started that hair bow! Fluro socks, Wham Choose Life tees, polo shirts, Swatch Watch, filofax, Velcro wallets, black roller skate shoes, deck shoes were everywhere in 86, big black elastic waist belts, tarten, floral, pokadot, stripes, paisley.. then acid wash🤮 top gun 501 jeans and leather jacket, crop tops, pencil skirts, denim jacket and those disgusting white fringed boots and jackets (like long straps fringe).. and CIGARETTES!😂😂
The only thing I remember us doing was those paper things at the first of your video. We did those long before the 80's. Graduated Fillmore Elementary School in '79 and Milburn High School through '83. Loved the 80's
I know my hair didn’t do much of anything, I even had one curling iron after another and, hot rollers and, my hair would only stay styled for less than a minute and go completely flat despite the hair mouse and hair spray.
@@sonyafox3271 yes. I had a perm once and it burned my hair, done by a beautician too. I had to get it cut short, not real shirt but definitely not what I wanted!
Me too now that I’m in my sixties my hair has become totally flock of seagulls…owning it….easy to care , and lets face it at my age you just don’t have to worry about anymore. But still there are women my age still wearing too much perfume and hairspray to the point that the smell is so obnoxious. Over compensating me thinks…
@@laurachristianson1688 I'm not sure some of them can smell it anymore. I hate it when I'm eating lunch and people get sat next to us and then all I can taste is their sprays and perfumes.
😊I remember the Fortune Cookie/FortuneTeller Foldables, though they weren’t anywhere as neat and colorful and sparkly as that! In our neck of the woods, ours were always made of a piece of loose leaf (ripped or intact) or spiral notebook paper with the writing lines, numbered and filled out all in Sloppy Joe style, hiding cheeky comments on the secret panels inside. I wore those same plastic barrettes with my bobbed haircut in the ‘90s - it’s showtime! - and had a black and silver glitter Art Deco style caboodle for my everyday and Ben Nye stage makeup. Now I have a vintage ‘80s pink Caboodles with the original seafoam flag sticker on it, and a modern marbled pink/white one because I never stopped liking and wearing scrunchies! Toys? Toys galore! I have a few Pound Puppies and then some!!!!!!!!!!!☺️
Ahhh loved the 80’s! I remember Teen Spirit deodorant, designer imposters body sprays (I had the yellow bottle Primo lol), the clear phone where you could see the colorful wires), and jelly bracelets. ❤
3:14-🤣😂That's me! I would either get choked by the cord, or my face would get smacked by the receiver everytime I would try to reach for something, and the funniest thing is they are making a comeback. I never saw the appeal for these kind of phones. Thank god for cordless.
I don't remember them being called cootie catchers but I definitely made my share of them. Also had the lavender cassette player and got a day bed in 1989.
Most the girls I ran with in the 1980's had their particular style. It all depended on the music of any particular period. Dress like your favorite singer was all the rage. There wasn't a lot of whiff and poof, nor big poufy shoulder pads to speak of in HS. And most of the girls used to make "Slam Books" they would buy one of those useful notebooks with the wire binding. Then each page was dedicated to a question, and depending on the manic state of whomever made the book, the questions could go on for pages and pages. And the book, like the folded notes would be passed around school every day. In JH, we had a Smurf Club, yes, you can roll your eyes now. Each of us had our Smurf character name, and we had a Smurfette. And we played the pass the football note game too, sticking them in each others lockers by the air slits in the metal. Girls were quite crafty when it came to "Cliquey" behavior.
I used a real tackle box lol. It was red, not pink. Still have some old tape mixes in a box. Olivia Newton-John, Whitney Houston, and Linda Ronstadt were a few of my favorites. 80's were a fun time.
There were some really great female artists in the 70's and 80's. Not the mechanical junk you hear these days. Linda Ronstadt, Blondie, Pat Benetar, Joni Mitchell, Sade , and a host of others!
I remember my younger sister and all her girlfriends wearing "Leg Warmers" all the time. They came in all types of colours blue, pink and white. Anyone remember those?
•I hated those shoulder pads. I would tear them out. •Kaboodles? Never heard of them. •Had a radio/cassette player in pink •Had a daybed too, in my efficiency apartment. •The colorful balls ponytail holders were out in the 70's also. •Crystal Light was awful. You forgot leg warmers and headbands...
I was born in 61, class of 1979. The '80s were an awesome decade. I was a male top 40 musician, and most of the bands all wore parachute pants, used aqua net, and right before we hit the stage, us guys were in the bathroom putting on eyeliner. If you didn't, the bright front spotlights would totally wash your face out. Other male customers came in when we were lined up around the mirror in the bathroom, they would see what we were doing, and often they would turn around and walk out till we were done. I'm in my '60s and it still makes me laugh to think about it!
Really miss girls of the 80's. Looked so much more feminine and attractive. Big hair, colorful fun and stylish clothing, no hideous piercings or ink covering 80% of their bodies while being wrapped in Salvation Army closeout clothing.
Uh. i think that depends on where you lived. Plenty of grits, goths, punks where i lived. Plenty of piercings. Plenty of interesting clothing choices, often ripped on purpose. Didn't see many tattoos in high school, tho.
55 years old this year, and I still have a stash of removeable shoulder pads lol. They really did make clothes look better - more defined, like you had good posture. Caboodles were/are amazing.

I used sugar water - worked just as well 😄
I remember “high top Reeboks” being THE shoe to have! The more colors the better. (Much more popular than Keds)
Boys did note passing too, LOL....this brings back so many memories
Because I was born in 1951 and my daughter in 1979, my assumption was this would not be for me. Until I watched, of course. Then it all came back through the movies of John Hughes. Very cool!

Designer Jeans for girls and skinny guys. Girls wore Gloria Vanderbilts, Sassoon,Jordache, Sergio Valente. Their commercials and billboards were everywhere, at least for me growing. Up in the Woodland Hills area of SF Valley. Reebok’s from Nordstrom. Girls and leg warmers were everywhere, probably because leggings had not been invented. Great times for sure. Thanks for the memories. Richard
I always wanted a pair of Vanderbilt jeans but they didn't come in fat girl sizes. Teddy Jeans dud though and I loved them. (Teddy Pendergrass hubba hubba)
Guess jeans too!
no leggings, but i remember stirrup pants. The ones i had were nice and soft.
Don't forget Brooke Shields & her "Nothing gets between me & my Calvin's" Klein jeans. 🙃
good music in the 80s
I can still hear the game show talking about giving out Lee press on nails to the contestants on the show.
The girls of my 80s smelt and felt great…
Class of’85
‘84 here 😊
Class of '85 here too!
'85 rules!
Yes that did. Gloria Vanderbilt perfume and Bongo jeans. Natural looking girls. Had a girl buy me a swatch and put a dab of perfume on my watch. I’d smell it and think of her. I miss those days.
@@traczebabe by best times party friends were’83 & ‘84!!
Best decade ever!!! Yuppers. I had almost all these items. Would love to go back. 😊❤
Thank you my friend 😊
I wish these commenters would get their stories straight. They say
The fifties was the best decade
The sixties was the best decade
The seventies was the best decade
Thev eighties was the best decade
I GUARANTEE YOU, thirty years from now, they will say the 2020’s was the best decade
@@gustavsorensen9301Lol
@@gustavsorensen9301 people in the future saying 2020's was the best decade? eww... what a horrible thought! Nothing good has happened in this decade so far, and it's already half over! That's like saying the 1930's was a great decade!
@@SkyeID Ditto that!
The music in the 30s was also pretty cool!@@SkyeID
Those were the best days of my life. The 80s were magical.
I had a daybed and I swear to God I had the same exact bedding as shown in this video with the hearts on it lol.
I used Finesse hair spray in a blue bottle. Who remembers that?!
Shoulder pads were in everything, even t-shirts!
Yup - I drank Crystal Light and took aerobics classes at our town gym in high school and wore neon leg warmers and a matching band around my forehead lol. I ate very little and thought I was “healthy”.
I had a yellow SONY boombox with cassette player. Often played Michael Jackson, Madonna, Duran Duran, Prince, Cindy Lauper then switched to 80’s rock bands which I still listen to today. We’d also watch MTV for hours.
I still remember the entire neighborhood gathering at our house to watch the world premiere of Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and I was actually scared!!
I wore white Keds everywhere. Not the most supportive sneaker lol.
We wore black stretchy bracelets up our wrists and arms to be like Madonna. We wore one white sparkly glove on our left hand and learned to moonwalk to try and be like Michael Jackson.
We wore white Vuarnet sunglasses in the summer, even at night lol.
Seems like everyone had a Swatch Watch. I had the white one that eventually turned yellow lol.
I still cherished my sticker books. What a collection I had! Everything from scratch n’ sniff to puffy stickers to giant glitter hearts. At sleepovers, we’d trade stickers for hours!
We’d pass notes every day in class and never got caught.
I had a bright yellow round “donut” telephone with push buttons which was rare - that style normally came in rotary only.
I could go on and on… good times. Those memories are impossible to forget and easy to remember, especially every single summer night at the Cape (if you know, you know)
I remember Finesse shampoo! I used that too, and also 'Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific' in a purple plastic bottle. LOL
@@22ergie Haha!! Yes, I had that too!
Too funny! Remember that shampoo called 'Milk Plus'?@@yettykitty4893
I used finnesse shampoo and hairspray/conditioner something in a purple bottle Aussie something or other.
@@mandywalker3393 - Yep, I was a Finesse fan! I used the conditioner & hair spray too! I’m 52 and I remember in 8th grade I was finally allowed to wear makeup (eyeshadow only). Of course I wore blue eyeshadow. That fad quickly faded, so by 9th , beginning of high school, no more blue eyeshadow, but I wore blue eyeliner and blue mascara. I was allowed to wear any other makeup. Funny how blue makeup back then was such a big trend! By the time I graduated college and got my first (real) job in 1994, all my makeup was neutral colors. Not much has changed since. Going down memory lane with girls is always so much fun, even going way back to having sticker books and trading stickers for hours in grade school. Endless fun memories!
The fortune teller was a thing back in the early 60's.
Yea I was in elementary school in the 60’s and I Remember making them in and playing with them at school.
In the early 90s too.
It was also a thing in the 70s, when, the used to have those machines everywhere! And, we had palm readers as well, my cousin came up to Indiana where they had put a palm reader where a old gas station was, the lady told my cousin no details but, there would be a bad accident, next thing you know right after she gets in her car and gets ready to pull out on the highway and, well my cousin was in a serious accident, they life -lined her to the hospital where she’s right down the hall from my dad/ her uncle! But, let’s just say she was lucky to had survived!
I was going to say , I was a kid growing up in San Francisco in the late 60s , and girls made those paper fortune things back then.
They were definitely bigger in the 70's. I rarely saw them in the 80's.
We are the last generation who lived without cell phones and Internet
Maybe🤷🏻♀️
I didn’t have cell phones as a teenager in the 90’s and only had internet in 1995.
The Preppy Look, the Preppy Book. I was all over it. Lily Pulitzer is still a fave.
You forgot Daisy Duke cut off shorts, aerobic leotards, shirts tied in a knot as halters and Jordache jeans.
maybe it was different in different areas, but no one I know wore cut off shorts in the 80's. The girls who wore them in the 70's made it so that when I was in high school in the 80's we weren't' allowed to wear shorts to school. which was ridiculous because where i lived in 86-88 Jams were in style. basically knee length. Longer than the skirts i wore. I remember really wanting jordache jeans when I was in 5th grade. Definitely early 80's. don't remember tying shirts in knots. My mom sure wouldn't have let me do that. not if the belly was exposed. LOL
Leg warmers, shaker sweaters, going to the mall started late 80s. I was in elementary school, but did and had most of these things.
6:24 I wore those exact barrettes as a little girl in the 1970s. So much of this video applies to the 70s as well. But NOT the big hair, lol.
Where were the Reebok aerobic shoes and legwarmers?
I loved Reeboks. Most comfortable athletic shoes ever.
I was a teen in the 80s. I'm sure there are a lot of different memories of the decade. Some were great, some not so much. I had a stepdad that made my life crap. My parents were poor so I didn't have a lot of the "cool" stuff. You didn't talk about water beds- they were popular. Roller skating was big in my world. I liked wearing big colorful sweaters with pants that had straps to put around your feet that would tighten up when you sat down. Not real comfy. I also liked Levi's 501s with the button fly. Guys wore them too- made their butts look good! Lol!
Thank you!!!
Miss those days
Cootie catchers were around back in the 60's as well.
I was born in 83 and we still had that in school!
Paper Rubix cubes. I remember those days ❤ I remember the long phone cords and the caboodles were Awesome. I folded mine like a football. I had the Trundle bed. I used to use so much Aquanet and Bows. I remember using super glue to hold my fake nails on. I loved my Keds. The 80's style is starting to come back.😂😂😂
The 80s and, the 70s!
Ah the Big Hair. Loved it, still do. Think the 80's girls were the most attractive
love the big hair too! a lot better than some of the crazy hair today, at least our hair was real and we weren't spending hundreds of dollars on crap!!
@@4444-LVYep but it's pretty hard to keep curly hair in the current times now. Now it's just wavy and straight.
Mia flats, Benetton sweaters, wearing sweatshirts inside-out, Tretorn sneakers, sparkly eye shadow, Laura Ashley dresses, aerobics, racquet ball, yada, yada, yada.....
Cootie catchers! I'm a teacher, and just Monday a couple students were making cootie catchers! I remarked that I hadn't seen one in a long time (aside from Gilmore Girls)! I didn't know kids still made them. I used to know how to make them, but I can't remember now. Do y'all remember MASH, too?! (the game, not the show)
The 80s was the last social decade. Cable TV was around, but the 90s added internet and cell phone. Causing people to spend less face to face time.
Back then, at pay phones, it was not unusual for one to ask a stranger for quarter for the call. In record stores people often talked to others about new music. And the same in video rental stores. There were many things were people were social.
I really believe social behavior is in a downward trend.
Good post
uh.... not a whole lot of cell phone use in the 90's for teens and the internet was mostly dial up. I didn't even get a cell phone until around 2000 and I was aged 30. I might give the 90's that title. Btw, my kids are 19 and 24 now and talk to way more people than I ever did. The internet allows them to talk to people that live all over the world. So, you lose some things. You gain some things. It's all about perspective and how you were raised. My kids had playdates. Belonged to clubs. Had friends they played outside with. Be parents!
@@mandywalker3393 Taking on the internet is good, but it is not the same as having a group of friends to do tings with.
Since I did not grow up with cell phones, they are still strange to me.
I would not change my childhood for one today. Even in my teens and 20s, friends were the most important thing to me.
Back when I was young and in my teends i did have many pen palls, so I guess, that is similar to internet friends.
I watched some youtube videos of teens taking over internet and it was strange, in real life, one can't just disconnect. We had to learn to be understanding and very social.
Thank you for the wonderful memories of days gone bye!🎉😯😮💯💥👍(gotta luv❤️them 80's!
Jelly bracelets, leotards and leg warmers, Cabbage Patch Kids, Garbage Pail Kids. I miss the 80’s.
that folding paper thing we did in the 60s
It was also something the done in the 70s and, yes, I knew they were cootie catchers, they said, the idea came from China where paper folding was a art!
How did they miss the scrunchie for girls hair? I just remember my sisters wanting to go to Contempo Casuals and Judy's in the mall.
Comtempo Casuals was my favorite mall store! I purchased lots of clothes from there.
That was more 90's...
Women of the 1980s were the best looking....IMO.
90's Victoria Secret models were hot too. Original ones. Big hair.
@@edwardzarnowski5558 AGREE! I should've posted 80's AND 90's.
👍
@@NITE_SHIFTING They were all beautiful. Actors and Actresses too of that time. Oh well time marches on 🙂 .
Yeah. I think you have a point.
At least here in America the White women don't seem as good looking as the ones
from the 1980s.
I think after the 80s White American guys started to settle with too many ugly to average
looking White females and as a result the amount of good looking White females decreased dramatically.
That is my little theory anyway. I could be wrong.
@@deegee-zi5xm I wonder if it's because we stopped drinking whole milk. Too much weird food that people never ate before.Whole milk has fats and vitamins that we need.
11 in 1980, 21 in 1990. 80’s girls were my girls.
1981-1990 those were the 80s. People need to learn to count. The new millennium started in 2001
Same❤
Loved this! So many memories!
I was born in 1967 so I started high school in 1981. My main question about that decade is who in the world thought that hairstyle was a good idea?? HAHAHAHA We kept Aqua Net Hairspray in business and they made a fortune off of us!! And that note passing was our version of todays texting!
I grew up during the 80’s. I was a teenager from 1983-89. I did some of those things,too. I had a cheaper brand that looked liked those Sharp radio with tape cassette in pink. I never had big hair during that decade. My hair was short and layered not liked it is now. I never had my ears pierced when I was a teenager. I had a brass headboard from 1982-93. I did dressed preppy for a couple years of high school. I wanted to be a little punk having very short hair with long bangs. Only thing that I never did was smoking a cigarette in my teens. It wasn’t for me. I remembered talking on a phone with a long cord and sitting on the stairs near the kitchen and the family room talking to a friend. My parents never yelled at me for being on the phone. My sister had a phone that was a line towards my parents bedroom phone in her teens.
I always got a kick out of the idea of these chemical corporations getting filthy rich off of the sale of hairspray and then blaming a bunch of girls for todays version of eco-terrorism.
Lol true!
Right!
I remember the note passing for sure, a girlfriend of mine and I did that all the time up untill the teacher snagged it and read it out loud for the class:) I loved the 80's so much!!!
Same at my school.
That's were we learned to not put anything in writing that you wouldn't want everyone to see! More current generations should heed that lesson before pushing "send".
I think note passing still happens but you could sent to the principal's office now.
The higher the hair the better, my hair was like lacquer and gave me a few inches of height (I’m 5’1). I always had a few cans of the aqua net (white can with pink letters) in the sling bag I had. I definitely contributed to burning the ozone layer with the amount of hairspray I used. I’m sure my hair was also a fire hazard, too.
I never knew the name of the paper fortune telling things. I remember making them when I was a kid in the late ‘70’s.
I always was passing notes and doodling on the desks in high school. What a time to be alive.
Before we know it tho, the future will become the past.😊
LMFAO @ "I definitely contributed to burning the ozone layer". HAHA! I almost fell off the couch on that one!
girls always had those 'scruntchies' either in their hair or around their wrists too.
I still “walk like an Egyptian”. People stare.
Lol!
Saw high schoolers streaming out of their school today after classes, %99 were wearing black and gray and jeans. No color, no personality in their clothes.
Did you live near a juvie prison?
@@mph1ish Well, I was driving, but it was a regular local high school.
I never had a Pound Puppy, Caboodle make up kit, or a small pastel cassette player. I had a proper heavy "boombox" that I carried around, before my first Sony Walkman. I did have a somewhat typical 80's hairdo, but I never teased it to the ceiling - it was just feathered & hair sprayed, no Aqua-net though as I preferred non aerosol pump bottles instead (still do). None of my teenage friends played "pretend shopping" using clipped coupons - LOL. But we did talk on the phone for hours on end. My mom was fed up up with me using the house phone so much that she got a separate line for my room with a different phone #. I had the push button phone that looked like a pair of red lips. 💋 😄
I had a picture from 80’s My daughter swears it’s not me
LOL!
Would buy Aqua Net as a child and make a flame thrower out of it. Melted army men, and it sure was fun at the time. Didn't need influence by boring people, or sitting at home watching people have fun. We jumped on our bikes, and lived life.
A by far more mentally healthy behavior.
I knew this gal in the 1970s and she was a bit ditzy. One morning while smoking, she was spraying her hair with Aqua net. Poof, she burned half of her hair off. She said she had to run down to a store, probably a Piggly Wiggly, ah but I diverge, and buy a wig in order to go into work at a bank. Those were the days my friend...
We partially torched a Major Matt Mason and buried him in a box about a foot down behind the vegetable patch with a note back around 1967. Every so often I wonder if anyone dug him up for a fence or garden, and what they must have thought.
Remember the smell of that hair spray? LOL
Helen Hunt used Aqua net as a flame thrower against a dog in Girls Just Want to Have Fun
I work for a local grocery store, 2 years ago I found a coupon from 1985 that a customer just randomly left on the shelf, kudos for keeping it for that long
In my 90s art school I had a "kaboodle" for my art supplies, except they were Grey and black and called Art Bin. I still have it actually.
I also dated a girl from school who still had the high bangs.
My sister would be the first in the bathroom every morning on school days. After she emerged, there would be a fog of AquaNet in the air. I had to let it air out before going in to brush my teeth.
Mom used Aqua Net and friends and I used MOUSSE! Remember hair mousse? (spelling?) Class of '82
We'd come into the bathroom after Mom got ready for work ( with aqua net) and we'd say Mommmmmmmmmmmm! (We couldn't breathe). I remember the btrm door was covered in it, and our house was always clean; just not that door! LOL
😂 1986 "Fergie" bow, yes it is Sarah Ferguson royal wedding that started that hair bow! Fluro socks, Wham Choose Life tees, polo shirts, Swatch Watch, filofax, Velcro wallets, black roller skate shoes, deck shoes were everywhere in 86, big black elastic waist belts, tarten, floral, pokadot, stripes, paisley.. then acid wash🤮 top gun 501 jeans and leather jacket, crop tops, pencil skirts, denim jacket and those disgusting white fringed boots and jackets (like long straps fringe).. and CIGARETTES!😂😂
The only thing I remember us doing was those paper things at the first of your video. We did those long before the 80's. Graduated Fillmore Elementary School in '79 and Milburn High School through '83. Loved the 80's
My family was too poor for most of this stuff and my hair was straight as a pin, no amount of Aquanet could hold it up.
I know my hair didn’t do much of anything, I even had one curling iron after another and, hot rollers and, my hair would only stay styled for less than a minute and go completely flat despite the hair mouse and hair spray.
@@sonyafox3271 yes. I had a perm once and it burned my hair, done by a beautician too. I had to get it cut short, not real shirt but definitely not what I wanted!
Me too now that I’m in my sixties my hair has become totally flock of seagulls…owning it….easy to care , and lets face it at my age you just don’t have to worry about anymore. But still there are women my age still wearing too much perfume and hairspray to the point that the smell is so obnoxious. Over compensating me thinks…
@@laurachristianson1688 i say they are trying to hide something, yes. Or trying to keep up the appearance of youth when it's really to us, not.
@@laurachristianson1688 I'm not sure some of them can smell it anymore. I hate it when I'm eating lunch and people get sat next to us and then all I can taste is their sprays and perfumes.
I think Jazzercise came our in the 80's along with all the shiny body wear and leg warmers
Aerobics VHS tapes and the leotard workout attire craze.
😊I remember the Fortune Cookie/FortuneTeller Foldables, though they weren’t anywhere as neat and colorful and sparkly as that! In our neck of the woods, ours were always made of a piece of loose leaf (ripped or intact) or spiral notebook paper with the writing lines, numbered and filled out all in Sloppy Joe style, hiding cheeky comments on the secret panels inside. I wore those same plastic barrettes with my bobbed haircut in the ‘90s - it’s showtime! - and had a black and silver glitter Art Deco style caboodle for my everyday and Ben Nye stage makeup. Now I have a vintage ‘80s pink Caboodles with the original seafoam flag sticker on it, and a modern marbled pink/white one because I never stopped liking and wearing scrunchies! Toys? Toys galore! I have a few Pound Puppies and then some!!!!!!!!!!!☺️
What about SLAM books? 📚 Doesn't anybody remember filling out a slam book 😮
I do. I said that up above before i read your comment.
Ahhh loved the 80’s! I remember Teen Spirit deodorant, designer imposters body sprays (I had the yellow bottle Primo lol), the clear phone where you could see the colorful wires), and jelly bracelets. ❤
Spot on. Rather than a brush I used a Tickle deodorant bottle as my microphone.
I remember "Tickle". The pink one was my favorite fragrance...
As a diabetic type 1 I was so excited for Crystal Light when it came out and they had a cereal with nutrasweet Sun flakes.
3:14-🤣😂That's me! I would either get choked by the cord, or my face would get smacked by the receiver everytime I would try to reach for something, and the funniest thing is they are making a comeback. I never saw the appeal for these kind of phones. Thank god for cordless.
I don't remember them being called cootie catchers but I definitely made my share of them. Also had the lavender cassette player and got a day bed in 1989.
Most the girls I ran with in the 1980's had their particular style. It all depended on the music of any particular period. Dress like your favorite singer was all the rage. There wasn't a lot of whiff and poof, nor big poufy shoulder pads to speak of in HS. And most of the girls used to make "Slam Books" they would buy one of those useful notebooks with the wire binding. Then each page was dedicated to a question, and depending on the manic state of whomever made the book, the questions could go on for pages and pages. And the book, like the folded notes would be passed around school every day.
In JH, we had a Smurf Club, yes, you can roll your eyes now. Each of us had our Smurf character name, and we had a Smurfette. And we played the pass the football note game too, sticking them in each others lockers by the air slits in the metal. Girls were quite crafty when it came to "Cliquey" behavior.
Yes, there were shoulder pads and, lots of big Jaipur in the 80s!
We still call my sister, Donna, Donna Madonna. She even wore the black lace, fingerless gloves.
I found a box of notes....it was hilarious.
Caboddles were made in Plano Illinois by Plano Molding who also made tackle boxes, bow cases and many other things. They are still in business today
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Many of those brought back so many fun memories!
Girls sure did have a lot of hair in the 80's ;) Too smooth these days.
Much to smooth.
Don't take this title seriously, y'all. It's a huge generalization. Not ALL girls did these things.
Right!
I used a real tackle box lol. It was red, not pink. Still have some old tape mixes in a box. Olivia Newton-John, Whitney Houston, and Linda Ronstadt were a few of my favorites. 80's were a fun time.
There were some really great female artists in the 70's and 80's. Not the mechanical junk you hear these days. Linda Ronstadt, Blondie, Pat Benetar, Joni Mitchell, Sade , and a host of others!
Exactly..
I remember my younger sister and all her girlfriends wearing "Leg Warmers" all the time. They came in all types of colours blue, pink and white. Anyone remember those?
•I hated those shoulder pads. I would tear them out.
•Kaboodles? Never heard of them.
•Had a radio/cassette player in pink
•Had a daybed too, in my efficiency apartment.
•The colorful balls ponytail holders were out in the 70's also.
•Crystal Light was awful.
You forgot leg warmers and headbands...
I was born in 61, class of 1979. The '80s were an awesome decade. I was a male top 40 musician, and most of the bands all wore parachute pants, used aqua net, and right before we hit the stage, us guys were in the bathroom putting on eyeliner. If you didn't, the bright front spotlights would totally wash your face out. Other male customers came in when we were lined up around the mirror in the bathroom, they would see what we were doing, and often they would turn around and walk out till we were done. I'm in my '60s and it still makes me laugh to think about it!
Really miss girls of the 80's. Looked so much more feminine and attractive. Big hair, colorful fun and stylish clothing, no hideous piercings or ink covering 80% of their bodies while being wrapped in Salvation Army closeout clothing.
"Salvation Army closeout clothing"...😂😂😂
Uh. i think that depends on where you lived. Plenty of grits, goths, punks where i lived. Plenty of piercings. Plenty of interesting clothing choices, often ripped on purpose. Didn't see many tattoos in high school, tho.
Class of '83. I'm glad you don't discuss peruvian pink. Great video
80s was best decade ever
Muff was at it's pinnacle in the 80s, never been the same since...
Sicko.
What did 1980’s Boys Do?
55 years old this year, and I still have a stash of removeable shoulder pads lol. They really did make clothes look better - more defined, like you had good posture.
Caboodles were/are amazing.
Enjoy. Many of these were not new to the 80’s, but part of several decades.
Passing notes in class was done in early sixties, plus the phone coily cord conversations.
