Little girl of the 70's

If you were a little girl in the 70's, you wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other. I also had the LOVE bracelet and red white and blue polyester dress that came out in 1976.

You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven and washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.

You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a plastic basket with flowers on it.

You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had metal wheels.

You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (Admit it!).

You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.

You had rubber boots for rainy days and Moon boots for snowy days.

You had either a bowl cut or pixie not to mention the Dorothy Hamill because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair. People sometimes thought you were a boy.

You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.

You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

You spent hours in your backyard on your metal swing set with the trapeze.The swing set tipped over at least once.

You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.

You had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with a hard sole and the buckle).

You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!

Your hairstyle was described as having wings or feathers and you kept it pretty with the comb you kept in your back pocket.

It was a big event in your household each year when the Wizard of Oz would come on TV.

You often asked your Magic-8 ball the question: Who will I marry: Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, Rick Springfield or Parker Stevenson...or Scott Baio, Jimmy McNichol, Willie Ames, Lance at 15 :0) and the list goes on and on.

You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack record albums.

You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick God's eyes, decoupage, or those weird pot holders made on a plastic loom. You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your T-shirts!

You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape player up to the speaker.

You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club. Double score if it was a teddy bear dressed in clothing.

You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)

You thought Olivia Newton John's song "Physical" was about aerobics.

You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.

You had subscriptions to Dynamite and Tiger Beat.

You spent all your allowance on Smurfs and stickers for your sticker album! I had the Smurf tape roll.
