After reading Kathy’s recent post about the ’80s and ’90s, I felt the need to confess a few things:
– I still own a Hypercolor t-shirt. I haven’t worn it in at least 10 years, but it’s in the bottom of my dresser drawer. It turns from purple to this really cool shade of blue.
– I just put my biker shorts and leg warmers in the garage sale that I had last week. Yes, biker shorts and leg warmers. They have also gone unworn for years, but it was time to clear them out. (But I still can’t get rid of the Hypercolor t-shirt.)
– I actually still own a tube of color changing “mood lipstick”. You know, for when I wear the t-shirt.
– Missing from the list? Kappa tennis shoes, old-school style. The ones with the two bows that you could tie, one in the middle and one one at the top of the tongue, and you could then wear two different colors of shoe laces. They were all the rage when I moved to Houston, and I never owned a pair. Quite a bummer. Were those big everywhere?
Ah… the ’80s. Good times. Good times.
Moving on…
Now I think it’s time to turn off the PC. We have winds of something like 60 mph outside that just started up. It’s rained since Saturday, and now another front is coming through. The fun never ends around here, I tell you…
