I'm so old I Remember when:

Those clothes look atrocious.

Those clothes were very much in style in the '80's. They were not atrocious. All necessary body parts were properly covered. Not like what you see now a days. Now THAT'S atrocious

Both are atrocious. The colors on the 80s ones are hideous.

I suppose, for the kids these days, that did not live through the decade, the clothes might be hideous. Then again, the 80's didn't have Crocs, so we win

One of the worst first world problems is incorrect dishwasher loading. I almost passed out one day. I just got home from work and opened the dishwasher to unload and there was bowls on the top shelf thing!

Hubby and I drove tractor-trailer, we would leave around 1am and be back home around 9pm. Our 4 darlings were all teenagers, so they could care for themselves until we returned. Also, my father lived in the "carriage house" if there was any problems. One time we had to lay over and didn't get back to late the next night. When we came home I noticed the kitchen floor had been washed and it was spotless. The dishwasher was blinking that it was halfway through the cycle, so I started it up. Then we found out why the floor was so clean. The kids used liquid dish soap instead of the dishwasher detergent!!! That weekend Hubby had to disconnect the dishwasher, bring it out side and hose all the dish soap out of the poor machine. There were suds everywhere!!!

To each their own.

The toy is called "Rock Star" not "everyday people". I see outfits reminiscent of David Bowie, Flock of Seagulls, the Bangles, the Spice Girls, Cher, and others from the era. I think they did a bang up job of capturing that vibe and the imagination of their target audience.

I don't think @ShrekDawg would be too happy to hear that comment about crocs.

Or am I mixing her up with someone who's a croc person?

About those pagers...would they only work if you were within a certain distance? Or could you use them from many miles away?

Had one for the fire department. I remember it going crazy during 9/11 while I was stuck in new orleans airport at my second job doing extermination work. Had the fancy one that did text
