YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S IF...
• You wore a rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went
up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.

on it.
• You learned to skate with actual skates (not roller blades) that had
metal wheels.
• You thought Gopher from Love Boat was cute (admit it!)
• You had nightmares after watching Fantasy Island.
• You had rubber boots for rainy days.
• You had either a "bowl cut" or "pixie," not to mention
the "Dorothy Hamill" because your Mom was sick of braiding your hair.
• People sometimes thought you were a boy.
• You wore a poncho and or gauchos.
• You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.

• You 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!
• You wanted your first kiss to be at a roller rink.
• Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" or "feathers"
and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket.
Double points if you had a comb in every color that you coordinated with your
outfit!
• You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry
Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.
• You carried a Muppets lunch box to school and it was metal, not plastic.

your boyfriend.

will I marry: Shaun Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?"
• You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame
soundtrack record albums.
• You tried to do lots of arts and crafts, like yarn and Popsicle-stick
God's eyes, decoupage, and those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.
• You made Shrinky-Dinks and put iron-on kittens on your t-shirts!
• You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable
tape player up to the speaker.
• You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy
Blume books (Are you there God, It's me, Margaret.)

aerobics.
• You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
• You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.

her a Barbie dream house.
