We played with this so much when we were younger. And did our best to dress as our favorite doll. Mine was Diva, the red head in the back. Our dolls had "real dancing action" where you twisted them at the torso and their arms pumped up and down

Hahaha, oh my gosh that's awesome!

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

The 80s were dayglo everything.

 

[EmmaDonovan]

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

I'm wearing Crocs right now. What? I'm sitting at home, my feet are under my desk and no one can see 'em!

I remember when as a kid our phone number was 3 numbers an a letter if I remember correctly! And you either had a private line or a party line where anyone could listen in on your calls!

That wouldn't fly in my parents house... Maybe only IF he was shaving.

 

[EmmaDonovan]

Those clothes look atrocious.

I guess we shouldn't mention Madonna...

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?

Layered necklaces and bracelets, hair bows, lace gloves, crop tops, bustiers and bike shorts. She spawned a whole lot of Madonna wannabies.

I don't think I ever owned a Madonna album, my mother would never have allowed it. Anyone else miss shopping for records? It was a great way to meet new people over shared interests.

I never shopped for records.

I do still buy physical media. The best place I've ever bought CDs was this small bookstore. They had two whole shelves of classical music. I also saw four boxes stacked with classical music and I dug through them. As we were about to leave I realized there was even more in several bins. Wish I could go back. The lady at the counter was super happy I was buying some of those CDs.
