| Remembering
the 80's
We are
the teenagers of the 80's - the lucky ones who grew into young
adulthood under the influence of make-up wearing male pop stars
and John Hughes movies. A time when Julia Roberts was just a
waitress, Michelle Pfeiffer preferred a cool rider, Helen Hunt
was just a girl who wanted to have fun and Nick Cage still lived
in the Valley and went by the name "Nicholas". This page is a
reminder of those times, when life was fun and simple
