Flashback Friday

On the way to school this morning, a local radio station was doing a "Flashback Friday" song. This got me thinking. How about a Flashback Friday post?

For my initial one, I'll keep it simple. It's just two words...

banana clip


Remember those? In the 80's when I had long blonde hair, I'd sweep it up in some cute, plastic, neon banana clip. Well, dare I say it? That trendy, girly, accessory store in the mall that we all love SELLS THEM NOW! My niece and I (she's just a few years younger than me) nearly DIED when we spotted them!!! Maybe they've been selling them for awhile. Who knows? I haven't been in the market for one since 1987!

How's THAT for a flashback?

Next Friday...Michael Jackson. YIKES!

***photos are from G*ogle Images...not from our family album!

HAAA!!! That's so funny...I love it. Yes, I remember banana clips well, though they never really worked that great in my hair. I was always envious of the girls who wore them so "beautifully."

Flash Back Friday...that's fun. I'll have to think on that...hmmmm. How about parachute pants?

Kristy is going to be all over these posts.

I loved those days it was so easy to fix your hair.

I do remember them, when I had long hair I tried to use them but my hair was too thin so they would fall out. So I think they've been aroung longer then you think. Do ever remember seeing me in long hair?
