Little Girl of the 70's

I found this on Jezchelle....Thank you Jezchelle! I am going to have to send it to my sisters they will love it!

OMG how I related to it!

You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other. (yes I did)

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine. (Had the easy bake over and love it)

You had that Fisher Price Doctor’s Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket. (oh yes it did!)

You even owned roller skates with metal wheels.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (Admit it!) (yes I admit it)

You had nightmares after watching FantasyIsland. (nope no nightmares but loved watching it)

You had rubber boots for rainy/snowy days - remember Moon boots (you then advanced to Duck Shoes in the 80’s) (uggh I hated it because everyone got cool colored rubber boots and I got black ones as they were cheaper)

You had either a “bowl cut” or “pixie,” not to mention the Dorothy Hamill” because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. How traumatic when people thought you were a boy. (yes true I did have a pixie and a dorthy hamill cut)

Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was your most prized possession. (I did not have holly hobbie sleeping back but my room was decorated with holly hobby when I was 4 to6)

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers. (yes, yep, and yeppers..I remember my sister and I have burgundy satin knickers with white ruffly shirts that we wore for Christmas one year)

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon. (I did not have it but my sister did and I think my mom still has it and it works too)

You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple shredded outfits. (yes I did)

You spent hours out back on your metal swing set with the trapeze.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color. (I didn't but I know my sisters did)

You even had a pair of Doctor Scholl’s sandals (the ones with hard sole &the buckle). (yes I had them and when they came out last summer again I wanted a pair again)

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson! (yes I did have a couple dresses that were prairie inspired over the years and it probably all does go back to my love of Little House on the Prarie)

You wanted your first kiss to be at the roller rink! (something I never got into was roller skating my first kiss was on the playground)

Your hairstyle was described as having “wings” and you kept it “pretty” with the comb you kept in your back pocket. (LOL yes I did have purple comb that I actually think I have somewhere still and also remember having a rainbow one as my room when I was a pre-teen was done in rainbows)

You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie. (I know who they are but did not have any...I think they came out when I was too old to play for dolls can't remember for sure. I know my little sister had them all though)

You carried a Muppets lunch box to school. (Nope I didn't I think I had a charlie's angel and also a scooby doo one)

You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend. (yep did that but also my sisters and I would fight over who would be which angel when we would play charlies angels)

Every now and then “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from the movie, “Annie” will pop into your brain and you can’t stop singing it the whole day.

YOU had Star Wars action figures, too.

It was a big event in your household each year when the “Wizard of Oz” would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags! (That the sound of music and willy wonka too)

You even asked your Magic-8 ball the question: “Who will I marry. Andy Gibb, Scott Baio, or Rick Springfield?” (Oh my yes and lets not forget Leif Garrett)

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack albums. (I did not have any of the soundtracks but I remember Grease was my first drive in movie and then I loved the TV show Fame and would sing that song lots)

You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God’s eyes of those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.

You made Shrinky-Dinks! (Many times in girl scouts we did shrinky dinks)

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker. (LOL yes i did that)

You couldn’t wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It’s me, Margaret.) (also true)

You thought Olivia Newton John’s song “Physical” was about aerobics.

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with a heart or rainbow designs. (yes and yes had both them)

You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer. (yes i did)

You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

You had subscriptions to 16 and Tiger Beat.
