I was waiting tables at Spanky's on the weekends and going back to school to get my second degree. Then moving into a Pepto Bismol pink trailer for $85 a month and working as AM (5am) supervision for the local hospital kitchen to pay for college.

Oh yeah, and I lived off of tomatoes from volunteer bushes in my yard and chicken livers.

So did I (the big hair). I still have it, but not on purpose.

And don't forget the leopard print spandex pants and pumps to match. (But I don't have those anymore...)

Hoo boy, I shudder at my 80's pictures... lol.

"Don't stop now! =)"

Do you want to get the thread pulled for sexual content, or should I stop here?

That's why I enrolled into the all-girls school in '84. Needed to quit the road, but was still frisky. :-)

No wait... don't forget the giant hoop earrings.

Mine were big enough to train poodles to jump through them.

I was a Truck-drivin,' urban cow-girl, who listened to Willy Nelson, Wylon Jennings, Beaucephas (Hank Jr). I was still trying to recover from the Jimmy Carter recession - - I had a heck of a lot of fun!

Not a dang thing for fun, no time for it!

I was either in school, studying or working in 1980.

I also think I buried my Grandma Zip that year.

Me too....maybe we crossed paths. My handle was Tin-Lizzy. I was trying to remember the "10" code today. What was 10-10, 10-8??

1980?

Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy Reagan in the USA celebrated presidential success with a style that used fashionable conspicuous clothes and social events to display the affluence of American society to a world audience.

Reagan took office in 1981.
