Big hair was starting to deflate a little, and punkier cuts were in style. I wore my hair short & spiky - and loved it!
THE MUSIC!!! What was your favorite song? If I was only allowed to listen to music from 1988, I would be okay with that, LOL!

Did you have a favorite TV series? I loved "Growing Pains" & "LA Law". I always thought it was funny to watch Laurie Partridge as a lawyer, LOL! Remember when they brought back Mission: Impossible? I always thought Thaao Penghlis was soooo handsome - loved him as Tony DiMera on Days of Our Lives, too! Some other shows:
- Cheers
- Who's The Boss
- The Wonder Years
- Alf
- The Golden Girls
Do you cringe when you think about what you wore in 1988? I had acid-washed jeans, hot pink Converse high-tops (I still have them!), aviator sunglasses, and a Swatch watch with bands in several different colors. Even though tattoos & piercings were starting to become more "mainstream", I didn't sport anything other than a single piercing in each ear in 1988. The tats & piercings came much later, LOL! Other trends:
- fingerless gloves
- leather jackets à la Michael Jackson in the "Bad" video
- aviator jackets
- Hawaiian shirts (for guys)
What are your favorite movies from 1988? I still love to watch Big & Die Hard! Other movies that year:
- Beetlejuice
- Rainman
- Twins
- Cocktail
- Bull Durham
- The Dead Pool
- Hairspray
- Young Guns

What's really scary is that many of those styles can be found in the stores again today! Ahhhh!
I was young, but I remember the 80s well. The neon (although we referred to it as "fluorescent" - much cooler), the t-shirt clips, banana hairclips, acid washed jeans, jelly shoes, my my my...
I know! If I had saved more than my pink Converse high-tops, my dd could have an entire wardrobe of 'trendy' clothes, LOL!
