I wasn't privileged enough to have a pair of jeans until I was God knows how old. It was my older sister who had the GV's and I distinctly remember her filling the bath and climbing in with them on to make them shrink to fit. No wonder it didn't work - she should have done it with Levis! I always wanted her jeans but by the time they could fit me, they were well out of fashion!

I do remember saving up my Sainsbury's Saturday job money for a pair of 501s though. Took me MONTHS!!

I LOVE this thread!! lol.
I remember going to school with so much goo in my hair - gel, mousse (on my super tight curly perm lol) that my hair could have doubled as a helmet should I have had an accident on the way here.

I had a bit of a thing for red hair (still do) but it was more orange back then - I was inspired by Cindi Lauper and "girls just wanna have fun"

me and my friends snuck out of school in order to see the luch time episode of neighbours when Scott and Charlene got married - remember the Angry Anderson song "suddenly" that accompanied the wedding??

So I just bought tickets to see Journey, Night Ranger, and Foreigner, lol.

I heard about it on the radio and couldn't pass it up, lol.

Finesse! We had that in New Zealand! I used to use it all the time. Now my hair is like a birds nest, no amount of hairspray is gonna help my mop

I forgot it had that song!!!!

There wasnt a TV in Australia that wasnt tuned into Channel 10 the night Scott and Charlene got married! Hahahahaha! How many girls wanted to be a mechanic when they grew up, just like Charlene?

I still love count duckula and look for episodes on youtube.

 

[NorthStar]

Count Duckula, that was a good show!

What about RentaGhost?

Remember Mr Claypole the Jester?

Kylie Minogue was also a positive role model for girls with curly hair, until she betrayed the curly community by going straight!!!!

Part of the first episode of Rentaghost https://youtu.be/DK66hHbwj1c
