Troll dolls, The Beatles, Tie Dye, Rollers and the list goes on and on. Oh those were the good old days!! I don't even know what half the toys are these days and I can't understand half the lyrics when people sing. Oh the times have changed!

@phoenixbrd

I have plastic rollers in my hair right now ... use them to add curl and volume after a relaxer perm ... lol

As for the Beatles ... their songs have been interpreted by some of my most loved singers and jazz artists ...

@SoX Thank you sharing the link. True Baby Boomer here--born in mid fifties.

I did indeed have a lovely stroll and remember each and every item from sea monkeys and gelatin molds, chicken a la king, troll dolls, tie dye, and rotary dial phones.

Time marches on but some things are timeless, such as the music of the Beatles. Even my dear Dad, born in 1905, grew to like them and enjoy their songs.

I still wear my afro,only difference it's now it's a black and gray mohawk. Still wear my midi style dresses (at under 5 feet,all my dresses and skirts are midi) and yoga pants and jeans, capris. Never a fan of the mini skirts/dresses..I have Embrace this style. Also,I don't mix plaids and strips,etc. Still love heart and dog jewelry and handbags

Love my style.

@GRACIE

Love to mix plaids and stripes to this day, lol ... my afro back in the day was never as big as Angela's, but, boy, did I want that style... gave it up when I joined "corporate America" ... way back when.

Does anyone remember those red wax lips at Halloween? Or those bubblegum cigars that came in green, pink & yellow?

... And that phone ... still have that same style, but in white, in my basement. Kids don't know how to use it, though.

My proudest skill was the ability to lay my head on my arm

which was folded under my big black rollers. I was actually able to sleep like that.

OMG ... the only thing I like for my hair are brush rollers.. put in after my

hair is dry .... my hair is too thin and fine for hot rollers ... and curling

iron never gives me the look I want ... although at 72 I'm not sure

any more what that look is !!!!!

Penny candy stores. We had one in walking distance. Tiny candy on a paper strip. Cotton candy——loved it. Sugar high. Always had trouble making up my mind.
