Stuck in the 50's,60's,70's,80's & 90's  

I was too young to remember the 50's... but it would be...
- Elvis Presley

And a countless list of famous actors and actresses.

The 60's

- Men started wearing long hair in 1965 (courtesy of the Beatles)
And even longer hair at the end of the sixties with the hippie movement in full swing by 1968.
- We also got the flare trousers at the end of the sixties... which I loved to death. lol

Of course... we landed on the moon in 1969.
And most of the sixties was a race for the moon.
People were also very worried of a nuclear war with Russia.
There was the Cuban crisis... in 62 I think.
I think the Berlin wall went up in the early sixties.
And there was Vietnam.

The 70's
The first half belonged to the hippies...
Then came Abba and Disco dancing.

- Dirty Harry would make Clint Eastwood a celebrity.

I remember silly putty... and I had my hula hoop up until last year actually, when I finally parted with that thing. I could no longer keep it up on my waist, about the only thing I could do is spin it around my neck. I loved my Etch-a-Sketch too... and the Lava Lamp. I loved the 8 track tape decks.. I don't know why they didn't last. I'm not so into the newer things, but I sure did love the things of my childhood.

Slouch socks in the 80's! My daughter wanted them, I thought they were so stupid, but it was that or biker shorts under baby doll dresses, so i went along with it. Of course, gave in on the biker shorts/dress later!!


Funny thing, all of those things have come "back in style" at one time or another, once or twice in the decades to follow! My GD loves to try to hoola hoop and I just gave my son's Teddy Ruxpin to his daughter and she adores him!

Oh, don't forget the 90's "did I do thaaat?" - Steve Erkel!!
