Oh Baby! It's 1970 again!



You know you're a child of the 70's if...
  • You wore that rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.
  • You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven. You washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.
  • You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket. You even owned roller skates with metal wheels.
  • You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute.
  • You had either a "bowl cut" or a "pixie", not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill" because your mom was sick of braiding your hair.
  • You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.
  • You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.
  • You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple shredded outfits.
  • You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.
  • You even had a pair of Doctor Scholl's sandals (the ones with hard sole & the buckle).
  • You wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder really bad; you wore that Little House on the Prairie-inspired plaid, ruffle shirt with the high neck in at least one school picture; and you despised Nellie Olson!
  • Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket.
  • You and Your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.
  • Every now and then "It's A Hard Knock Life" from the movie, "Annie" will pop into Your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.
  • You had Star Wars action figures and you made Shrinky-Dinks too!
  • You even asked Your Magic-8 Ball the question: "Who will I marry...David Cassidy, Bobby Sherman, or Rick Springfield?"
  • You completely wore out your Partridge Family, The Monkees, and Carole King albums.
  • You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape recorder up to the speaker.
  • You thought Olivia Newton John's song, "Physical" was about aerobics.
  • You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
  • You had subscriptions to Dynamite and TigerBeat.
