Those black rubber braclets, like what Madonna used to wear when her first album came out. Actually, now that I think about it, I guess they have evolved into the yellow "live strong" braclets for Lance Armstrong's fight against cancer.

Large hoop earrings I recall may have been another... and I think they're making a comeback.

Leg warmers-- not a fave, not coming back.

I'm still wearing mine! Although I've brought it down to just two as opposed to the multiples I used to wear! [8D]

Yep me too! Those rubber bracelets I still wear to this day! That was a trademark of mine. By the late 80's not too many people were wearing them anymore.

Sorry, bruiser. I think that may have been at a time when I was into wearing dearfoams, shuffling around the house to my Ray Coniff records. I don't recall ol' Ray having any songs about go-go boys, snorting coke, or the either of them coupled.

I really am an old man.

...and i just remembered that i actually had a NEON BOOMBOX, basically a stereo cassette-machine, that i sprayed flourescant green myself, with some old spraycans left over from a motorbike i was working on... it looked cool, and my parents thought i was going mad.
so it must've been good.

OMG, the Trapper Keeper! I was freakin' NUTS about that thing! I remember seeing the commercials and losing sleep over the excitement of owning one! Boy, was I one happy boy when I finally got my Trapper Keeper!
