<p>Mood rings</p>
<p>I had a POW bracelet and an ERA bracelet.</p>
<p>Remember PSSSSST? If you didn’t have time to wash your hair, you sprayed it on and brushed it out. Kind of gross, in retrospect!</p>
<p>Did anyone mention platform shoes? They’re baaaaack.</p>
<p>PSSST Oh how I wished I could have some of that stuff. Agree now, ick!</p>
<p>Girls in my middle school tried to wear those fuzzy footie socks in really bright colors - in place of shoes. Vice Principal’s office must have been beside themselves trying to stamp that fad out.</p>
<p>Rolling skirt up the minute I was out of sight of home/teachers.</p>
<p>My skirts were so short in the '70s that had I rolled them up…oh, let’s not go there.</p>
<p>I joked with my very serious daughter’s very serious teachers that my main concern in high school was how to walk up the stairs without showing it all.</p>
<p>Your daughter must have been mortified. </p>
<p>I remember trying on one of my short dresses years later and wondering what was I thinking to have worn that in the first place? I couldn’t walk across the room without feeling like I was leaving nothing to imagination.</p>
<p>

<p>What about Johnsons Baby Oil with a splash of iodine in it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Was this like “Minipoo” (oh God I’m dating myself here)</p>
<p>How about “Love” toiletries in the rather phallic-shaped containers with the silver dome??
Baby oil and iodine - every summer, thumper!</p>
<p>Yes, it looks like PSSST was like Minipoo (gotta love that name!). One of the comments on a web site I found; Why buy SHAM poo when you could have REAL poo?</p>
<p>But, alas, Sephora is still marketing a similar product:</p>
<p>[Sephora:</a> Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo: Dry Shampoo](<a href=“http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P147414]Sephora:”>http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P147414)</p>
<p>Mikasuntie–I did not make the skirt comment in front of my daughter; she would have died on the spot. Everyone at her school was wound a bit tight, so I often tried to get a reaction. I got in trouble her first year because she was the top cross country runner and I said that she was the fastest girl at Her School’s School for Wayward Girls. The coach–thank God–knew I was joking. Had she been anything other than fast at running, I certainly wouldn’t have been joking about it.</p>
<p>The girls at that school also rolled their skirts.</p>
<p>
I loved that stuff. Only scent I’ve actually ever enjoyed.</p>
<p>late sixties for me (no pants for girls at school)- </p>
<p>coordinated Villager outfits (blouse, skirt, sweater, knee-socks) with weejuns, circle pin</p>
<p>nylons with garter belt if not knee socks</p>
<p>straight hair (roll up on soup cans and then sleep on it if hair was not naturally straight, or have it chemically straightened)</p>
<p>blue or green eye shadow</p>
<p>no mixing of blue and green in clothing</p>
<p>white gloves for special occasions such as going downtown to shop at the big department stores or to the airport</p>
<p>gold bangle bracelets</p>
<p>junior high - </p>
<p>saddle shoes</p>
<p>skirts hemmed to the middle of the knee</p>
<p>elementary school - </p>
<p>petticoats</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This was my high school uniform.</p>
<p>I also did the soup can on the head thing (or one very giant roller). Instead of an elastic band to hold our hair together, we used to tie the ends of a knee sock together and wrap it around. It didn’t leave the marks that an elastic did.</p>
<p>frazzled…I think we must be the same age!!</p>
<p>MD Mom…what a relief :)</p>
<p>Nylons with garters…how could I have forgotten those? I hated them, but hated white bobbysox more. And then there were chartreuse, hot pink, flourescent orange fishnets.</p>
<p>re: petticoats. Remember the raw, reddened, sometimes bloodied skin around your waist after wearing one for a few hours??</p>
<p>OK…how about PEDS?</p>
<p>in gradeschool - don’t know what the outfits were called, but I had several of them - all polyesther with say a striped top and solid color pants with a little “rib” down the front. Unfortunately, my grandmother also had several of those…sigh.</p>
