You Were a Little Girl in the 70's if...
• You wore that rainbow shirt that was half-sleeves, and the rainbow went up one sleeve, across your chest, and down the other.
• You made baby chocolate cakes in your Easy Bake Oven. You washed them down with snow cones from your Snoopy Snow Cone Machine.
• You had that Fisher Price Doctor's Kit with a stethoscope that actually worked.
• You owned a bicycle with a banana seat and a basket.
• You even owned roller skates with 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/snowy days - remember Moon Boots (you then advanced to Duck Shoes in the 80s)?
• You had either a "bowl cut" or a "pixie", not to mention the "Dorothy Hamill" because your mom was sick of braiding your hair. How traumatic when people thought you were a boy.
• Your Holly Hobbie sleeping bag was one of your most prized possessions.
• You wore a poncho, gauchos, and knickers.
• You begged Santa for the electronic game, Simon.
• You had the Donnie and Marie dolls with those pink and purple shredded outfits.
• You spent hours out back on your metal swing set with the trapeze.
• You had homemade ribbon barrettes in every imaginable color.
• 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 the roller rink.
• Your hairstyle was described as having "wings" and you kept it "pretty" with the comb you kept in your back pocket.
• You know who Strawberry Shortcake is, as well as her friends, Blueberry Muffin and Huckleberry Pie.
• You carried a Muppets lunch box to school.
• You and your girlfriends would fight over which of the Dukes of Hazzard was your boyfriend.
• Every now and then "It's A Hard Knock Life" from the movie, "Annie" will pop into your brain and you can't stop singing it the whole day.
• YOU had Star Wars action figures, too.
• It was a big event in your household each year when the"Wizard of Oz" would come on TV. Your mom would break out the popcorn and sleeping bags!
• You even asked your Magic-8 Ball the question: "Who will I marry...Shawn Cassidy, Leif Garrett, or Rick Springfield?"
• You completely wore out your Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Fame soundtrack albums.
• You tried to do lots of arts and crafts things, like yarn and Popsicle stick God's Eyes or those weird potholders made on a plastic loom.
• You made Shrinky-Dinks!
• You used to tape record songs off the radio by holding your portable tape recorder up to the speaker.
• You couldn't wait to get the free animal poster that came when you ordered books from the Weekly Reader book club.
• You learned everything you needed to know about girl issues from Judy Blume books (Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.)
• You thought Olivia Newton John's song, "Physical" was about aerobics.
• You wore friendship pins on your tennis shoes, or shoelaces with heart or rainbow designs.
• You wanted to be a Solid Gold dancer.
• You had a Big Wheel with a brake on the side, and a Sit-n-Spin.
• You used to read Dynamite and Tiger Beat.
