Us Lot Vs The Teenagers?

[joggerjayne]

A small selection from today's list, somewhere or other, of things that "noughties" teenagers will remember from the last decade, apparently.

But, really, we did all of these better than the teenagers. They think they own these things. But we showed 'em, right?

>>>

Smirnoff Ice, WKD and Archers.

Your mother moaning at you for drinking too many of the above.

Denim everything. Denim jackets, the perfect denim mini skirt, denim pedal pushers, denim bags.

Pairing the denim mini skirt with UGG boots, ballet pumps or bright pink Converse or Vans.

The super slicked back ponytail that took at least ten minutes to perfect, as well as three scoops of mousse, and two brushes. Then, teasing two strands of hair out. Chav chic, nailed it.

Crop tops.

Knowing one friend that got so paralytic they had to get their stomach pumped. And being thoroughly glad it wasn’t you.

It’s summer. What do you wear? A halter neck top complete with a push up bra of course, duh. Sexy and stylish.

Come on. Things we did waaay better than the teenagers in the noughties ... ?

I never knew anyone - and still don't - who had to get their stomach pumped. I know someone who had their drink spiked, though, and that was something we just didn't see in the sixties.

I'm the one with the thigh-high patent leather boots, the Dollyrocker dress, and the Mary Quant haircut :-)

Boxy, I can picture you now!

[joggerjayne]

That is one up side of young girls drinking alcopops ... it's hard to spike a drink that's in a bottle with a small top. And guys can't tip extra shots of vodka into them.

[boxtops]

LOL, you wouldn't want to see me wearing it NOW, sibs - I wouldn't get one leg in the dress :-)

I can only say I do recall my eldest with her Afghan coat, stunk to high heaven (because it had been properly tanned) but she really figured she was the bees knees.

My internet is way too slow to check, Boxy, but I take it you're female!

[Psybbo]

Blackie, she is also married to Nibble :-)

[Blackiequine]

Thanks, Psybbo - just appealed to my sense of humour.

Hair mousse wasn't invented when I went out bopping, Angel Delight was the nearest thing to mousse. I wore high heels most of the time, flared skirts or dresses with frilly petticoats for dancing and pencil skirts and blouses for the office. No-one I knew did drugs, we smoked cigarettes, and we didn't drink ourselves senseless, we respected our parents too much, besides the neighbours would have talked, nowadays the neighbours don't give a monkeys they don't know who you are most of the time.

I was a 60s Teen (1963 to 1970 ) we were the original 'Teenagers' the term wasn't invented before the 60s.

Okay, I admit to making my circular skirts with 18" waist & sugar starched flounce petticoats. I won my Hants village jitterbug contest ;)
