Where have I been?

Wow. It's been a few months since I've last posted on here and honestly, I don't really have an excuse for why I haven't posted. I just haven't had any inspiration lately. But I'm back and HOPEFULLY I'll stop to post a lot more.

Over the past few months of not posting anything I have got up to a lot of things such as changing and redecorating my room, making a hangout room for me and my friends, going record shopping and finding so much cool records, and going on a holiday with my family. It's been such fun these past few months but now that I'm back, I'm looking forward to posting more things. And I'm also thinking about making my own youtube page too, so you guys will see more of what I do and love. My next post will hopefully be sometime in the next week, so stay tuned for that.. And in the mean time.. Stay groovy!

Friday the 13th - day of horror movies

It's Friday the 13th and we all know what that means, time to watch some scary movies!! My favourite are the 80s horror/slasher movies, one of my favourites is nightmare on elm street, the original one is my favorite by far, and too make it 10 times better I was lucky enough to get a signed autograph from Heather Langerkamp aka Nancy! 

I love all 80s horror flicks, from the cute "gremlins" to the scary "Excosist" there's so many 80s movies that go un loved, like silver bullet, witch board and so many more. Nightmare on elm street was the biggest 80s horror movie and was loved by so many people. Hence why they made more of them! Another favorite of mine is "Poltergeist" which stars the cute little Heather O'Rourke!

                                 

Horror movies always has a suspense that's so exciting, you never know when something's going to jump out and scare you and that's the funiest part about watching scary movies, the thrill of being... Scared!

Kids Incorporated - the 80's

Not long ago I was searching 80's videos on youtube when I came across Kid's Inc, Not sure what it was I clicked on one their videos and I instantly fell in love.
Kids Incorporated was a show which first aired on September the 1st, 1983. It was a show which had large musical performances in each episode.

The Members were: Stacy Ferguson, Renee Sands, Martika, Eric Balfour, Mario Lopez,

Ryan Parker, Moosie Drier and more.

I personally LOVE the musical performance more than the episodes and storys, I think the clothing,

the hair, the dance moves & the music they sing just screams 80's! I really love Stacy Ferguson performances the most, she was so pretty and so cool! Even if it's a slow song or a fast song she always does an amazing job!

A very similar tv show was made in Australia called "Young talent time" and I'll be making a blog

post about that show some time soon.

But in the mean time, go check out some of the performances by Kids Inc, and step back

to the 80's!

The Freedom - Drivers License

(*Sigh of Relief*) the thrill of passing your driving lesson was the biggest thing to happen to any teenagers during the 80s (or at anytime) knowing that you know longer need your mom or dad to drive you around places and you can now, Drive by yourself is such a big thing.

Getting your firs car, so much excitment!

The best Part about getting your License is being able to go where you want, where you want. And with your friends along with you, it makes the time awhole lot better. I was so excited to get my License, I failed the first time, but got 100% the second (how's that?) and I was so happy!

Joy with her first car!

Enjoy some of these 80's teens with their first cars!

I wonder who's this car belongs too?

Off to prom?

HI!

I can drive now, WOOHOO!

Nothing is more exciting then getting your first car, it's such a great feeling, a feeling of freedom!

The Freedom of Driving for the first time!

Kissing Koolers - a must have for any 80s teen girl

Kissing Koolers were a very popular cosmetic item of the 80s, you were literally considered cool if you had them or at least you thought you were cool. They were manufactured in 1987 by Maybelline and come in all differant colours & flavours. There's peppermint twist (which is a fav for a lot of teens) strawberry fizz (my favourite!) banana split, cherry cola & waterman swirl!

Now that's we are way past it still being the 80s, kissing Koolers are still bring remembered by all the teen girls & are still very popular even though they aren't being made anymore. They are very rare and if you come across one on the internet, most likely it will be sold straight away, and I don't blame it. I was very fortunate to come across the whole set while I was an eBay search, and had to have them!

My favourite would defiantly have to be strawberry fizz, and for its age it still smells just like strawberries with a hint of sorbet, I actually have two strawberry fizz kissing Koolers because I love it so much! They are very pricey if you come across them on the internet, but if you love them as much as I do or they give you a little nostalgia, then go for it.. Bring back the memory's of being a teen in the 80s!

Time Travel - Malls of the 80's

I love to shop, weather it's online or at a mall in my home town. Just buying clothes I like etc makes me really happy, and what makes me even more happy is too think of malls of the 80s, how different they were back then, so so different to today's malls. I love looking at vintage mall photo's too see how much times really have changed, As much as I love shopping in this day and era, I would much rather shop in the 80's.

Just looking at the different styles in the photos, and how everything looked.

Just look how cool this photo is, Bright colors, fun and adorable clothes,

the big hair, I just love everything about this photo!

Another cool photo taking in an 80's mall, Oh how I wish I would've

went shopping in the 80's, actually, how much I would've much rather

growing up in the 80's!

I always think of all the awesome clothing, makeup etc I would find if I were living in the 80's,

and it just makes me so so happy!

I guess I dream way to much...

Marcia Brady: outfit re-used

I recently watched the Brady Bunch episode "Greg's Triangle" and noticed a very familiar outfit, worn by the character Jennifer. I could not think of where I saw that outfit before, So I decided to look through the Brady bunch series and see if it was once re-used.

Jennifer from "Greg's Triangle"

After searching through season 3, I did infact find the same outfit, this time used by Marcia Brady in the episode "Getting Davy Jones"

In my opinion, Marcia looks way more groovy!!

It's cool to notice things like this, and especially when you see stuff-ups or goofiness through the series, as you can just tell that the brady's were just kids, and were having fun while on set.
