ONE of the BEST Christmas presents ever, was circa late 1980's. i can't quite remember what year, although, i'm guessing i was in middle school......those tween years. and i can't find the exact photographic evidence---though i know it exsists. but lucky for you, i was quite obsessed for more than just a year....more like three years. so i do have supporting photos.
wow. rambling much this morning?
anywho.
the present: an ENTIRE CASE full of Aqua Net hairspray.
from: Aunt Brenda & Uncle Terry
yeah, i wasn't so nice to the environment for a few years or so. and since i know that this post is nothing without proof of why a case of Aqua Net hairspray was a pretty darn good present. so, i present to you the reason why i was so giddy over such a gift............
are you laughing now?
gotta scoot. i have grocery shopping to do, and presents to wrap and photos to resize and children to snuggle.........

ROFLOL!!!! Ok, at least you don't have the chicken bangs!!!! That is what I was really waiting for. Now in middle school for me it was the weinier rolls down the side followed by the big as you can get feathered look. Yep, none of them was really very good, but they both took their fair amount of aqua net as well so I understand the excitement! LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I would've loved Aqua Net one upon a time, too. I have photo evidence, but it's buried deep in the photo boxes for safe keeping. Ha.

Love the hair! I had the same do back in the day. I can't believe how I tortured my hair with perms, hot rollers, and TONS of spray. My favorite was called Flex Net....I can still smell it!
ReplyDeletel love coming to read your blog everyday but lately I'm having trouble leaving a comment when I try to leave a comment it tells me the page has expired! WHEW...The internet can be so trying most days...Wishing you and yours Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHa! We could probably all pull out pictures from some point of our teenage years that would embarrass us. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove it, girlfriend! You've inspired me...I'll have to dig out one of my big hair photos and get it posted..probably after Christmas now...but I think that's too great to miss out on the fun!
ReplyDeleteRemember, have FUN with the preparations...don't take any of it too serious!
LOL, great gift. Love the hair, been there done that.
ReplyDeleteOh, are those days all too familiar! I think I still know people have it on thier list this year!
ReplyDeleteTo fun! A whole case of Aqua Net, lol! You didn't say how long it took you to go through it though!!!
ReplyDeleteHilarious - I was in love with AquaNet too...had the big bangs to go with it.
ReplyDeleteI've love to win your giveaway!

Oh my gosh, you and I could have been twins, love me some aqua net.
ReplyDeleteCheers, to the good old days.

I had the big hair too! Often just the claw (bangs) if I was too lazy to do the rest of the 'do!
ReplyDeleteAqua net!! I lOVED that stuff!! And my hair looked pretty much the same as yours :-) If you go to Old Navy you can get a whiff of the eighties again...some of the clothes are starting to look frighteningly familiar!!!
ReplyDeleteTania you look like me in High school. I too loved aqua net and my curly hair could get really big if needed. Thanks for the memory jog.
ReplyDeleteOh how I always wanted that hair. lol
ReplyDeleteMine was so straight and fine that I couldn't do anything with it without aquanet. I might as well have had plastic hair like a cartoon character. lol
Love the hair... but thank heavens we moved on (well, most of us) from the hair styles and the bad T-shirts (or maybe that was just me).. Can't believe the year is over..
ReplyDeleteLove the picture! Aren't the best presents things that we really need/want at the momment? :)
ReplyDeleteLinh
Ah, the 80's...too bad we can't erase the photographic evidence! I guess that would require destroying some old negatives, right? I was very much loving my permed hair piled high w/ spray.
ReplyDeleteAnd you never know...after all, leggings are back - what's back next, huge shoulder pads? ;)
TFS, Tania!
ahh the smell of aqua net brings back some memories!! have fun on your to-dos, trying to get the same done here before the snowstorm hits.
ReplyDeleteThe hair takes me back!!
ReplyDeletehah! Wendy's jaw just dropped! LOL that's some major big hair you were sportin' there!!
ReplyDeleteI can't help but wonder if we are getting ready to repeat the 80's. I've been noticing young boys/men growing their hair longer. Our kids will one day ask...What was with the shaved heads? Love your pic. I bet your socks matched your outfit. LOL
ReplyDeleteI can't believe 5 more days til Christmas. I mean I knew it was coming, but when I actually read it it becomes too real. I'm almost ready though.
ReplyDeleteI think we all went thru' one of these hairdo one time or another. I remember mine too. Hahaha. And I sure love to win those Daisy D products in your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAqua Net...the memories that brings back...too funny! Have a GREAT day!
ReplyDeleteGrandma Shelley
Lol..in beauty school we called that AquaRock! That was my mom and dad's and sister's FAVORITE spray so you weren't alone in depleting the ozone layer! HA!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the picture. Those were the days! I've enjoyed your blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting caught up on your blog a little...yes, I laughed a tiny bit at your big hair. I was a big-hair girl, too. :) But I would have been green-eyed at your very, very big hair!
ReplyDeleteGreat hair. I never did get into the big hair. Mine was always long & straight. lol
