Those oxford saddle shoes brought back memories.

You might find it amusing: http://www.canisitwithyou.org/?p=496 Oh, Seventeen! How I craved that magazine, though I'd have to go over to a friend's house to paw at it.

Oh, Seventeen! How I craved that magazine, though I’d have to go over to a friend’s house to paw at it.

Remember Jayne Modean? I also remember Whitney Houston modeling frequently. My favorite shoes were my pink Candies sneakers, Bass Weejuns, and blue suede Minnetonka moccasins. Oh, and the Famolare 'Get There's. We also loved Lip Smackers (everybody rocked the strawberry) and Bonne Bell Ten-O-Six lotion. That stuff left sticky brown residue, but we "cleaned" our faces with it, daily, for some reason, lol. Seventeen magazine was THE THING back then, that’s for sure.

I was never into fashion in my teen years. (That didn't kick in until I turned 40!) I prefered Tenn to Seventeen. Nice post. I was never into fashion in my teen years.

Brings back so many memories - I completely remember this cover and others come to mind. All that's missing now is a Debbie Gibson (oops Deborah Gibson) song for it to be 1988 again.

I think we are about ten years apart in age, but I could STILL TOTALLY RELATE to the Laura Ashley thing, except for me it was Jessica McClintock. Nice stroll down memory lane. And your life list was great too. I especially appreciated the one about bass players vs. trombonists. My husband and I played trumpet together in high school band...then married eight years later.

One summer, my sister and I were thrilled to pal around with a friend of hers who summered in our home town. They went to private school together. It was oh so fabulous.
