Because I know I can step out in leggings and a mini skirt, but I need to know if I can call doing so "rad".

1. Amazing!
I found this while googling "red polka dots" for your other thread and thought, "OMG! That's SO Lara!"













Sorry I didn't answer your question. :P

3. Omg!
I was thinking earlier today that the one "trend" from the 80's I wouldn't mind seeing a reprisal of is the off-the-shoulder top look!
That dress is cool! (I'd skip the red & white stripes, but that's just me...)

2. like.....gag me with a spoon.........
I think I still have some of my old vocabulary in my memory from the valley girl days. I would have to buy those leg warmers and oversized sweatshirt/dresses in a much larger size than I wore in the 80's....makes me wanna just go postal.

11. Me, I'm waiting for "ert" to come back.
Admittedly, this was regional. In fact, VERY regional, like the school district I grew up in. I've always thought it should have been bigger. It's equivalent to "that's stupid," or occasionally "duh."

13. I still say "cool," "neat," "groovy."
For good or bad, it's one thing that separates me from most people.

16. Mega! I forgot about that one; It's usually relegated to the realm of feminine hygiene products,
these days.

Mega rad!
