Oh lord..... I may be gay, but I just can't bring myself to spew fairy dust all over the forum. hehehe <bows before Her Royal Highness>

No since I prefer to addressed as HRH! HRH???

Ok, I thought this was what you were talking about. But then my mind went straight to something with her boobs and pumps and I got confused. But it is rare that I hear someone use 'pumps' anymore. Maybe 'kicks' or 'oh my god...shoes!!!!!' but rarely 'pumps' Youngins...hehehe

Do you really need them? :evil:

Wait, what? ha. OK. MayDay, talk to these chi'renz! Please Gayanese translation "she got pumps" = "she wears fabulous shoes" Now I understand...

One quote: "Excuse me, are those Bugle Boy Jeans you are wearing" I did eventually graduate from the Levi's 501s.

I feel your pain Xumelanie. I feel your pain.... I think of Nickolodeon in the eighties with Green Slime and You Can't Do That on Television. I never even thought to watch it in the nineties.

I am surprised this hasn't been mentioned, but would the 80s be without the proliferation of music videos and MTV (Yes---this was the time when the M in MTV stood for Music)? The 90s brought us the Real World which began the decline of the music video. I still remember that day I saw a quirky new cable channel open with an astronaut planeting a flag on the moon followed by the song "Video Killed the Radio Star". It was a powerful moment. Although not quite as powerful as waking up in the weee hours of the morning and watching Prince Charles and Diana get married.

Oh----that commercial reminded me of another eighties blunder---the guys getting a perm on the back of their mullet cut.

And let's not forget Windows 3.0. It was nice to use a mouse rather than keystrokes to get something done on the computer.

What would you expect of a hillside community with a business district of Victorian buildings that was taken over by hippies and writers in the sixties?

How cute. Congrats! The gay mecca of the ozarks. ummm It is no joke about it being a Gay mecca. The NY times did a story on gay hideways and Eureka Springs was featured.

LOL

The early nineties were definely by "alternative" music. Because of how main stream "alternative" music became, it almost seems silly that it was called "alternative" music.

Okay, I did not see one women in your interesting ass eighties pic of the week and a half that had mall bangs. I don't know what it was, but my sister and all her friends would use a curling iron on their bangs and spray hairspray until their bangs stood five inches from their head and could cut you like a knife.

Thank God I never did drag....

woah---I just jump a level as a forumer---Kettering tower...cool!

I am in a long-term committed realtionship. My partner and I have been together for 7 years. We had a commitment ceremony 3 years ago in Eureka Springs, AR (the Gay Mecca of the Ozarks). Sixty-five friends and family attended our ceremony. We are on the domestic partnership registry in Eureka Springs---which doesn't mean a damn thing except that we love each other.

Delta Burke, Olivia Newton-John, Beth Grant with Leslie Jordan (Karen's friend Beverly Leslie from Will and Grace) as Brother Boy---the brother forced into a mental institution for thinking his life calling was to carry on the legacy of Miss Tammy Wynnette.

No worries....I heard it was going to be a Carraba's...JK!

The early nineties were about lack of fashion. That is why so many guys wore the untucked flannel shirts - including me. The late nineties were when I became fashionably coherent and started dancing on platforms under bright lights at large clubs wearing my best outfits bought from a boutique on N. Halstead in Chi-town.

Wasn't that labeled, "the comedy about white trash"? I didn't see that movie. The tagline is "A black comedy about white-trash". Takes place in Texas--which was awfully close to me. You just lost princess points by saying you never saw it. Next you'll tell me you have never seen "Steel Magnolias".

All this talk about Oklahoma and the eighties is making me want to go watch the movie "Sordid Lives". I could really relate to Ty in that movie.

Levi's? Oh my god. You poor thing. come on MTS, after the Sergio's, Gloria's and Calvin's came the Levis. Those pants were a necessary part of the transition from 70's /early 80's to the horrible bowels of the mid 80's. They were better than Tough Skins or Wrangler. All I know is I thought I looked pretty cute in my Levi's, Topsiders, and Coca-Cola Shirt while wearing my swatch watch.

Okahoma...'nuff said. he he he he I wanted parachute pants, but I was so skinny. It wasn't a good look. Please don't tell me you had handkerchiefs in your back pockets. No....nor did i wear them around my leg pant like many of the guys at my school. If those guys knew about hanky codes, I guarantee they wouldn't have thought it was so cool. YELLOW????
