Ditto!!

When I was at the gym yesterday, I got into a conversation with my trainer who is about 25 or 26.  He asked me if a lot of my friends had afros when I was growing up.  I just said, "Uh, wrong generation.  I'm not that old!" So he changed the question from afros to parachute pants, to which I had to respond with a reluctant "yes".

BTW, do they not make "Trapper Keepers" anymore??

[Timmay]

yeah someone said you can buy trapper keepers at Target

I actually knew Lisa Whelchel back in the 80's when she was doing a tour promoting her album. I was doing some photographic work for her grandmother Velma French sp Velma could make a scrapbook for Lisa. I went all over the place, from Maine to Georgia. It was fun. I even got to meet Lisa a few times.

The best meeting though was in Rumford Maine. The Pastor of the church that set up the concert and I really hit it off. He was a funny guy, easy to get along with. After the concert, he asked me if I would like to grab a quick cup of coffee and discuss the photo shoot I just did. Sure, I said. We stepped in an office like room and there she was. Just me, Lisa, the Pastor, and a couple of other people who were at the coffee machine. I felt like this     She is a really nice person in real life. Not like her character.

And yes, she is just as hot in person as she was on TV. I was in 

I wonder how Lisa would think of me bald today though. 

[BALDANDRE]

Blair, of course!! 

As a kid I thought she was SOOO hot in her earlier days on the New Mickey Mouse Club.....

hey now!

I used to think Julie Piekarski was hot on the NMMC. I didn't think too much of Lisa at the time.
