Product of the 80s HNT
Credit: Half Moon Photography
I was a product of the 80s.
I dressed in a Care Bear outfit to visit my dad in the hospital when I was little.
I had a GloWorm and a Treasure Troll collection.
I still love pretty much all 80′s music.
I rocked the leggings, the polka dots, the giant curled bangs, the oversized sweatshirts, the bright colors, the suspenders, the clashing patterns/colors, odd hair styles, hair wraps, etc.
I wanted a LiteBrite and an EZ Bake Oven, but never got them.
My dad got me three erector sets, and I totally built stuff with them.
We had a commador 64 in our basement.
Two words: Duck. Hunt.
And oh so much more. I did and still do love many parts of the 80s (and am back to loving Care Bears).
Anyways, this picture reminded me of my 80s self, and I thought I’d share!

Awesome! I was right there with you. I’d stay up all night tonight playing Duck Hunt if I could.
HHNT!
haha, jamie just had to explain what a lite brite is to me yesterday! sigh. i was a child of the 80, technically (i think, in fact, more so than you) but, as the joke goes in my house, i was raised in a “cave with bears.”
that is, without things like a television and pop culture.
Very Cyndi-ish!
I just got the BIGGEST grin when I saw this!
Class of ’82 here – I remember the 80′s well!
I remembered this photo from Fetlife and love it! You are gorgeous, m’dear, simply gorgeous!
Beautiful! I loved the 80′s when they were happening. Then later I was mortified by what I wore. But, dangit if I haven’t fallen in love with the fashions again! The music I have always loved, however.
Commador 64 reminds me of a song by Datarock, a Norweigan band whose songs are all homages to the 80′s. Check em if you don’t know them already!

I had a lite brite and a Commador 64. And still own Duck Hunt and Rainbow Brights. :)
Great pic, hun.

sorry this has nothing to do with your hnt which is lovely and all but you live near glendale right? You should go to the Canada vs America women’s rugby game on June 27th! http://www.infinityparkatglendale.com/ses/womens-canam-international-rugby-test-match.php for more details..it’s just a cool way to support some tough ass women (and a number of hot queer ones too). Yup.
Hey Cutie,
It was really cool meeting you at Sex 2.0, hopefully we can hook up when you come down to the Penis state.
