Back in the early/mid eighties here in the midwest (or Indianapolis at any rate), girls were in one of two camps - the Cyndi Lauper camp, or the Madonna camp. What kind of grrl were you? A Cyndi Grrl or a Madonna Grrl?

There is photographic proof somewhere on this website that I did the hair-tied-with-rag thing a la Madonna. With the straight suburban bob, it didn't quite have the same effect.

I had a huge crush on Cyndi, does that count? It must have been the red hair. I'm loyal, too: I have every one of her albums to this day.

I would have to say Madonna. I admit I use to try and imitate the Lucky Star look with the skirt, the bracelets and the hair ties.

Remember those black rubber bracelets Madonna used to wear? She has about 50 on her wrist on the first album cover. I used to think those were so cool. I still keep 2 of them on today.

Unfortunatly now, black rubber bracelets "mean something," bu

heh,

I also had a zillion of those bracelets. My pop thought they were O rings, and was endlessly amused. But they WERE really cool !
Too bad I lost my bag of bracelets; I had all kinds of awesome thrift-store, vintage-y bracelets in there that I thin
