School Days | Robert B. Parker

It‘s time for our #Back2School party weekend to begin 🌟‼️Unfortunately due to corona, I wasn‘t able to obtain most of my school days photos....so here‘s a collage that represents those moments. The first album I bought was Paul McCartney& the Wings, I loved Frogger & Dairy Queen, I interned at Mademoiselle (1986), MASH series finale was a HUGE college experience as was the wedding of Luke & Laura (General Hospital). David‘s Cookies were epic👇🏼

Cinfhen Clara Peller wanted to know “Where‘s the Beef?”, Frankie Goes To Hollywood & Madonna ruled the air waves, Patrice Simone was my beloved Cabbage Patch Doll and I obviously thought BIG curly hair was attractive 🙄

Cinfhen Thanks @TrishB you gotta do what you gotta do xxxx 4y

squirrelbrain Oh gosh - I remember Benetton being everywhere too. Bizarrely, there is still one here in town .... but I never go there! 4y

Cinfhen I haven‘t seen a Benetton in 30 years @squirrelbrain next time u go by I‘d love to see a photo of their window display ♥️ 4y

squirrelbrain I‘ll try and remember to take a picture if I walk past Cindy - it looks just the same! 😬 4y

Cathythoughts These are fab 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I remember Benetton so well. I loved their clothes & scarves ❤️ 4y

Cinfhen My friend Cheryl worked at Benetton and we ALL and I mean WE ALL used that employee discount @Cathythoughts @squirrelbrain I used to buy those oversized cardigans for my entire family 😂😂😂 4y

AmyG I remember all of this! I just watched Ghostbusters! Great collage of pictures. And big hair! General Hospital - we were all obsessed. Great memories. 4y

Megabooks Please tell me you had a swatch as well! I had two in the 80s and then also road the late 90s revival. I also had clothes from Benetton in the late 80s and also rode their early 00s revival. That‘s where being between generations gets you!! 4y

Cinfhen Of course I had a swatch!! I had 2 a black one and a red one @Megabooks I remember when they started getting all fancy😊 4y

Cinfhen No cell phones, FB, IG it was such a simpler time @AmyG 4y

AmyG @Cinfhen I miss those days. Remember when the big excitement was MTV? *sigh 4y

batsy How fabulous... So many memories 🙌🏽 4y

LeahBergen Omg... EVERYTHING here is such a walk down memory lane! 😆❤️😆❤️ 4y

BarbaraBB Oh yes Benneton, and Frankie Goes to Hollywood. About tv series, suddenly As the World Turns comes to mind... I was addicted! (edited) 4y

BarbaraBB And is that you and the husband on the left? That hair 😀💕 4y

MsMelissa This collage is awesome! I‘m a little younger than you, but so much of what you‘ve posted reminds me of my youth! 4y

Cinfhen I think we #80sGirls had similar experiences @Book_Fiend_Melissa 😘 4y

Cinfhen Yup!! Me & hubs sporting NJ hair/ mullets & perms @BarbaraBB 😂😂 4y

BarbaraBB Awesome 😂😘 4y

Centique I am so thrilled to hear you interned at Madamoiselle! NZ seemed so removed from global teen culture in the 80s that those magazines were like a drug to me. Couldn‘t afford to buy them cos they were like $18 or so but I‘d haunt the library waiting for the new ones and bring them home in gleeful piles! 😍😍😍 4y

Cinfhen It was a HORRIBLE experience @Centique if I‘m being honest.....but it‘s a cool antidote to share😜The only celebrity I got to “meet” ( it lasted 22seconds) was Debbi Gibson. She seemed nice. I was an unpaid intern, got college credits and I worked like a dog doing grunt stuff. I was really glad when the semester ended. 4y

Centique @Cinfhen I hear ya! How often do those dream jobs turn out to be terrible. Did you read The Bell Jar and have any shared memories in there of being an intern? (Also Debbi Gibson WOW, peak 80s pop star 🤩) 4y

Cinfhen @Centique it was less Bell Jar and more
