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

You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up
one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

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. (they also had 4 wheels)

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (Admit it!)

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. (what
about the Holly Hobbie doll, and jewelry box and necklace and . . .)

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

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. (with the
long strands hanging down with beads on the end! COOL!)

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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. (and
of course, wearing cool leg warmers!!)

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 scratch and smell stickers for
your sticker album!

My Marie doll had a lime green dress with a feather skirt. And my bike had a purple sparkly banana seat with streamers on the handlebars.

Holly Hobbie wallpaper in my room, yo!

i always wanted an easy bake oven but never got one. i had to make by with helping my mom bake in the real oven (or having having her help me)

hrm. I was born in 1980 and at least 3/4 of those still apply.

PS - I know where to get sweet friendship pins NOW too.

holly hobby lunch kit all the way...and ouch! gouchos....haha shrinky dinks

"Physical" wasn't about aerobics?!

I had an Easy Bake Oven, but my mother wouldn't let me use it. I'm still a little bitter about that.

my shoelaces were pink with Smurfs on them...I still have them...

I still have the key to my metal rollerskates that you had to use to tighten them.

I had the snoopy snow cone machine! And I can still do the hard knock life dance routine from Annie.

I can't imagine how many toxins were in shrinky dinks.... Or worse, the el cheapo version: just melt styrofoam or plastic cups in the oven with sparkles in it.

What about perfumes? You guys remember Baby Soft? I wore Malibu Musk and Electric Youth lol

Charlie. I wore Charlie. And Ruffles.

Awhhhh, my grandma wore Charlie (hmmm... memories)!
