There were so many fads of the 80s that I tended to follow.  I had Care Bears, a Cabbage Patch Doll, a Boom Box, Neon clothes and accessories, talked like a Valley Girl, went to the Video Arcade for fun, and… had BIG ASS HAIR!  This is one thing that immediately makes me think of the 80s.  From rock stars to television personalities, everyone seemed to embrace the motto: the bigger, the better.
