[Shelby]

Wow you've brought back a lot of memories!

Geez I used to love my little pony, I had probably 30 of those things and always watched the show. lol! No dolls for me, just my little pony and dinosaurs..

[sidhe]

I remember those well but, who ever thought it would come back! Scary to see teens nowadays sporting leggins under their skirts and I have seen legwarmers pop up from time to time. Now, that's a scary thing. If that big hair trend comes back, I don't know what to even say to that!

[Monty]

Leggings are supposed to be the hot thing on the runway this fall. I'm sure I'll be getting some soon! Heh, the craziest things come back around.
Long as the big, square shoulder pad look stays faaaaar away, I'll be happy!

[Monty]

[lillyorchid]

OMG I remember those days!!!! OHHHH how I miss them!
