friday flashback - those were the days

For some reason a long ago birthday popped into my head this week. The one where my brother wrote in his journal (remember keeping a journal in school?) that I thought I was "so hot" because my Grandparents had given me Jordache jeans for my birthday. Good Lord, Jordache jeans? Remember those?

That was the same birthday I got my boot roller skates, white with the red stopper on the front, and got to leave those metal ones that attached to your shoes behind. Remember those? With the metal key to adjust them? There wasn't much I loved more than those roller skates, I tell ya.


*Oh and for the record those jeans did make me think I was something spectacular.

Ohhh...I had those roller-skates, too! That was right around the time of leg-warmers, too - and the jeans with the piping down the side of the legs.

That brought back memories. For me it was a pair of Rosemary Blue jeans that cost $30 in 1982. Hot stuff for sure.
