1. nope. Are those GoGo boots?

Where are the heels?

[undeterred]

3. Here Ya Go

These boots were made for walkin'

[Left Is Write]

8. Those! Those are the ones I wanted SO BAD in about first grade.

1972-ish. I wanted go go boots in the worst way. Needless to say, my mother did not comply with that request.

My first grade teacher was young and beautiful and had shiny boots with a zipper. I wanted to grow up to look JUST like her.

22. 1969. 1st grade. Bonnie Sinclair had a pair & I COVETED them.

I never got a pair. Bonnie had long brown hair and a green mini dress to go with the white go go boots,

I had a blonde bob and a red and navy dress with sensible oxfords amd white socks. :cry:

I remember that day like it was yesterday.

My student teacher (Miss Bates, regular teacher was Mrs. Drewery) had a rockin' flowered mini-dress and purple stockings and LONG blonde hair. **SIGH**

[WCGreen]

23. You want I should take care of this... This Bonnie Sinclair....

Her Banana seat could just somehow get a tear in it, hypothically speaking....

[CottonBear]

27. Yes, please. Also, could the banana handlebars have a "failure" as well?

I'm just saying...I NEVER got the go go boots. :(

[undeterred]

24. Bonnie got her period and walked around all over junior high

school with a stain on her white dress.

Bonnie had zits and never went to a school dance.

She married a ventriloquist.

She was never cool after 1st grade.

[WCGreen]

28. Isn't it cool to marry a Ventriloquist.....

Oh yea, it's cool to marry the dummy....

I get it....

[CottonBear]

29. Thank you. Thank you so very much, undeterred.

That's one of the nicest messages anyone's ever sent to me. ;)

PS: I got an extra hot pair of black leather boots (and a matching camel colored pair) for fall 2005. :)

[Left Is Write]

40. Yes....

I had a blonde bob and a red and navy dress with sensible oxfords amd white socks.

That sounds like me too.

Miss Connolly had beautiful blonde hair and shimmery blue eyeshadow and lots of eyeliner.

[WCGreen]

4. Ah Jesus Christ.....

I had a pair of boots like that....

[undeterred]

6. I had mocassins but nothing that cool

I would have worn those to bed.

[hickman1937]

10. Aw damn, I always wanted those.

All I could afford were the ankle length ones.

[AirmensMom]

5. Naw ... we were too poor.

I went barefoot. :(

Just KIDDING ... I had earth shoes ... and Jesus sandals. :bounce:

[In_The_Wind]

7. *raising hand*

[undeterred]

9. And did you have a big smiley face button?

Same era, roughly speaking.

[In_The_Wind]

11. Yes, I did

I graduated from high school in 1966

[undeterred]

13. That must have been the optimal time to come of age

Beatles, War Protests, Kennedys, Nixon impeachment... wow you had it all going on at once. I graduated in 1974.

[In_The_Wind]

15. I miss those days.

In fact I missed them so much that I started college six years later so I was doing the studying thing while you were getting out ...

those were wonderful years ...

long time gone

[undeterred]

College in the mid to late seventies was rather boring

There was still a feminist movement going, but none of the activism of the sixties.

It seems like the generation that came of age in the late sixties really understands what is going on with this country now better than any other age group.

[CottonBear]

30. I was in junior high and high school mid 70s to early 80s.

I knew about the previous generation but I came of age just a bit later. During my senior year of HS Reagan was elected. The Lennon was murdered and my dad died :(
I am in solidarity w/ the 60s generation. ERA never came to be. I was in support of the ERA.

The 80s sucked, politically.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. if i had them in red ,does it count?

[undeterred]

14. I had "fishnet" stockings before I could wear regular nylons

and they didn't make you think of hookers back then either.

[erinlough]

16. Had them in the 60's when they were go-go boots and

in the 50's had white boots when they were for baton twirling!

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. I Surely Did! Check it...I even have a Picture!

[undeterred]

19. Great picture!

Those boots were made for walkin!

[Ksec]

20. LOL By God you really did have a pair...

[Ksec]

18. Those boots were made for walking.

Who was it? Nancy Sinatra..

[undeterred]

21. Yeah, and that was her best recording

Her persona reminded me of Jane Fonda a little bit.

[Impossible Princess]

31. I want a pair!

I had black boots, but they're not as hot as white ones.

[Aimah]

32. GoGos

I don't think you're allowed to wear them if you're born after 1970.

[BamaGirl]

33. No, but my mom bought my daughter some lol

She bought her this outfit a couple of years ago (I really should have taken pictures)--gold glitter jeans and black go-go boots. It was so awful it was cute, ya know? Lol

[undeterred]

34. they're still cute

but they cannot be detached from their historical context...

[KitchenWitch]

35. Oh yeah

and hotpants

[LaraMN]

36. I still do! eom

41. My Mom had those. She wore them to Tom Jones concerts.

She still has a sweaty hanky Tom threw to the crowd. Ewwwwww...

Anyway, Mom had a mini skirt to go along w/ the boots. She was one hot little mama in the Midwest 'burbs in the late '60s.
