I Get Lost......In Your Eyes



Okay, first of all I have no idea why one of these shoes is huge and the other one is tiny, but that's beside the point.  Can you believe that these things are coming back into style?  I can PROMISE you this.....this girl will not be buying any!!  I got a Foot Locker catalog in the mail yesterday, and these ugly things dominated the women's section.  They have a plethora of colors - some to match every outfit.  If I DID end up buying these, I could just dig out my Debbie Gibson tape, a bottle of Love's Baby Soft perfume, and my jeans with the bows and zippers on the back hem of the legs and I would be ready for a time warp back to the 80's!!!!!  And I forgot....I'd also need to cut and tease my bangs.  I never was good at that, by the way.  My childhood friend Tashena was soooo good at pretty, high bangs, but I just couldn't do it.  She was so good, in fact, that I had her spend the night with me before my 8th grade graduation, just so I could have pretty bangs for that special day in my life. 

I have to save the tale of the brass thingie (see last post) for another day, because I think blogger is going crazy or something.....it won't let me put the picture in this post.  And you really need to look at the picture as you're reading to get the full effect.  So, until then, brace yourselves.

Oh my word - I had some of those and have NO DESIRE for them again. By the way, I just ran across my Debbie Gibson CASSETTE the other day - didn't have the heart to throw it out al though I don't have a thing to play it on.

Oh, and my daughter got a bottle of Love's Baby Soft for Christmas and sprays it constantly. Drives my husband crazy, but is so nostalgic for me, I'm not phased. Ha!

OH you are kidding me! Girl, I could do some 80's hair now! You know I could!! I always hated those shoes and it hasn't stopped! But the hair... it just came so easily for me! ha ha! LOL!
