******what fun, TC....hmmm. OK - but I'm afraid I won't be able to add the Guys' part to the questions. Sorry guys.
Alot of these are going WAY back....WAYYYY back!
1. Do you remember pale, pale, orange (almost white) lipstick?
How about Maybelline cake mascara that you wet the brush (preferably with spit) & rubbed it on the cake & then applied it?
2. Did you ever have a hoola hoop?
3. Do you remember 'popette' plastic beads?
4. Were you around when "cats eye" marbles (or alleys, as we called them) were new & were absolutely to-die-for?
5. Do you remember not Kool-Aid - but a similar powdered drink called Freshie?
6. Do you remember (now THIS one is for the ancients) when you went to buy an ice cream cone & the store person would take what looked like a toilet paper roll out of the freezer & unwind the cardboard off it & put the cylinder of ice cream into a cone????????? AND the choices were:
vanille, stawberry, chocolate - That was it.?7. Do you remember saddle-shoes?
How about penny-loafers?
8. Remember when the #1 song was Purple People Eater?How about Itsy Witsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini?
Or Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road?
9. Watching Ed Sullivan & Bonanza as the hilight of the week?
This is fun TC, thanks. Kath
