I was born in the 80's, an era of social change, load clothes and crazy hair styles. New wars broke out all over the world, the Berlin wall fell and the cold war came to an end. We rocked out to one hit wonders and great bands from previous decades. Bands like Duran Duran, A-ha, Blondie, Rush and Queen. We moon walked to Michael Jackson tunes like Thriller and Billie Jean. I sang along to all these songs and more, belting out the lyrics to "I Touch Myself" by the Divinyls without really knowing what the lyrics meant. 

We watched great family shows like Fraggle Rock, Family Ties and the Cosby Show. I begged to stay up past my bedtime to watch Richard Dean Anderson MacGyver his way out of another tricky situation. It was a great time to be a kid.  

And tonight I'm sitting at my computer, singing and dancing along to a great compilation of 80's tunes streaming on Youtube, remembering the good old days when girls just wanted to have fun.
