I remember the first 3 from then, though was only in single figures for the 80s!

Impulse still exists

I remember jelly shoes (I had silver glitter ones), Bonnie Tyler (because she's Welsh) and Impulse body spray (still use it to this day).. but i wasnt a teen until '93.

SugarKane · 15-06-2007, 12:25 PM

Does anyone remember pixie boots? I wasn't technically a teenager until 1993 either, actually!

Katie wots Dash Clothes?? We are the same age virtually and i havent a clue wot they are.

Ha, remember those Athena posters? Overly paintbrushed pictures of ladies with crappy headphones or sucking on straws from a cocktail glass.

Obviously i didnt wear the clothes mentioned above but for the lads do you remember Ski Jackets and Farah trousers. Waffles and Grey tasseled slip ons with white socks. Sergio Tachini tracksuits and Fila. *shudders*

God i hated the 80's clothes and still do with all the pseudo 80's fashion at the moment too. I remember sewing myself into my jeans so they were ultra tight! lol.

Ahhh Athena posters!

Dash were posh pastel coloured tracksuits.

Pixie boots? Oh yes. I had some trendy white cowboy type ones myself!

SugarKane · 15-06-2007, 01:26 PM

Global Hypercolour T-shirts? haha!

katkinb · 15-06-2007, 04:30 PM

were the hyper colour tee shirts the ones that changed colour when you touched them, or they got hot?

I always wanted one... to go with my neon pink cycling shorts that I got from tammy girl.......

Kangaroo · 15-06-2007, 04:59 PM

jelly shoes were around in the 90s as well. i really wanted some but my parents never bought me a pair.

*lily* · 15-06-2007, 05:33 PM

*hides in shame*

I want to see pics of Matthew in the 80's just for the comedy value

Seeing as the oldest I got to in the 80s was 6 months old I think I'll leave this thread to y'all, but they still sell Jelly shoes today - and I used to love mine :)

Margo · 15-06-2007, 06:36 PM

bannie_uk · 15-06-2007, 06:53 PM

SugarKane · 15-06-2007, 07:00 PM
