To you, what was fashion like for you throughout the 80’s?
"Silly, or goofy because it was like how big could your hair be, how many layers of clothing could you wear, how many rubber bracelets could you fit on your wrist. It’s like so much of the clothes was meant to look like you tried really hard to be cool, but so much of it was uncomfortable. "
what about makeup?
"It was all about hairspray. when girls went to the pool they never got their hair wet because they spent so much time on it with curling irons and hairspray."
What was one of your favorite movies from the 80’s?
"Top gun and ferris bueller's day off."
Why?
"Because Tom cruise was hot, but now he’s weird."
MOM ... Do you remember any in the politics category?
"What i remember from the 80’s was so many politicians getting caught for having affairs and it would be a big deal but now it’s so common. "
How well do you remember the fall of the berlin wall?
Yeah I remember it being all over the news, and not being able to relate to how different their life in east and west germany must be from ours.
What do you remember about the developing video games?
Oh Atari, definitely. it changed how we spent our free time. We’d play what are now simple, simple games hours a day. Everytime my friend, Winnie, would come over she’d just play the games and not even play with me. Quite funny actually looking back at it now.
