What girl did not jump around and lipsync like there was no tomorrow to their idol Tiffany?! There were many a sleepover making up dance routines to "I think we're alone now" and "Radio Romance" (Uh, dedicate it to the one who loves you baby!) I dedicate this one to my partners in leg warmer crime, Angie Peters and Paige Barlow!
I distinctly remember saving up my nickles and dimes to have my dad run me up to Fred Meyer to buy my first Whitney Houston cassette tape. Whitney and I had some serious hair and vocals, bouncing around on my bed. I cheered her on every year she won a zillion Grammies on TV. She's got to kick Bobby Brown out and revive the killer vocal chords (and hair) she's got!
Pat Benetar...I need a HERO! (Dedicated to my sisters & Ren McCormack.)
So call the girls, put on your blue eyeshadow and strawberry lipgloss, turn on the "blast from the past" playlist and go totally punk!

I LOVE IT!!! Whitney was my first cassette owned, and every day after school we would run to my friends house to dance to it on their front porch for the whole circle to see! What fun memories! (And like you, I shared her crazy hair too! :) Thanks for sharing, that was fun!
Really fun blog entry, Melissa! OK...I want to see you do the boogie to those songs.
You forgot about Belinda Carlisle. She was one of my favs. Ohhh, Heaven is a place on earth. They say in Heaven love comes first. Ohh, heaven is a place on earth.
Yeah! Go Tiffany and Debbie. They Rock! What about Jessie's Girl! I used to love that song and I can't even count how many dances we made up to go with it. I loved growing up with you and Angie. You are the greatest.
