I had glow in the dark tennis shoe laces, which scared the crap out of me more than once, seeing them out of the corner of my eye in the dark.

Not only did I wear my sunglasses at night, but I wore my legwarmers to BED!
I remember Reganomics AND Perestroika!

And what about 4 inch high, curled and teased bangs, that took at least half a can of Aquanet hairspray to hold up? LOL! Thank goodness Aquanet was only 99 cents for a huge can, I went through one in a week!
