OMG I watched Letter to Brezhnev tonight..

[CountessDracula]

how weird and dated are the mid 80s
how much more individual was everyone
frizzy hair was frizzy
chunky thighs were rife
it seems like a lifetime ago watching it now

I am so OLD

I don't feel it though

god the dancing was AWFUL

thank god for Acid House

where did all the chunky thighs go - and how? - still got mine...

nono but you know what I mean

All teenagers today have smooth hair and thin thighs

they looked like trolls when i first watched it in the 80s ffs

phew

yes you are probably right

everyone was a minger

Oh Lord I remember that. Margi Clark. I remember the bit with the chickens

stop it - we were fun - i used to go the nightclub in that movie 'THE STATE' in liverpool

I'm so glad I am not a teenager today - they are all so fracking perfect with their straightened hair. And you have to wear skimpy clothes, it's obligatory. I got away with opaque black tights, DM boots and very big jumpers...

I am kind of sad that it is all so perfick today

manicured beyond belief

oooh, those big jumpers...

I still have one of mine. 54" chest - I wear a 30F lol!

It is sad...they don't shop in Barnardos; they have mobile phones and their own cars...

They don't have crispy hair these days do they...remember that pink gel that you got in the chemist?

I used to have a night out for a fiver...£1 to get in, £2 on drinks (2 bottles of Diamond White), £1.50 for a burger from the burger van outside and 50p for the night bus...

It would never have occured to me to bother about my ladygarden...was doing well if I shaved my legs.

oooh, diamond white, those were the days...

the mildmanneredjanitor - when were you in liverpool?

A whole packet of fags...luxury indeed. That thrill of ripping off the gold or silver paper

we could have met in those lovely bogs in the state - i am older but i was there then....i was probably vomming
