Us Lot Vs The Teenagers?

[joggerjayne]

A small selection from today's list, somewhere or other, of things that "noughties" teenagers will remember from the last decade, apparently.

But, really, we did all of these better than the teenagers. They think they own these things. But we showed 'em, right?

>>>

Smirnoff Ice, WKD and Archers.

Your mother moaning at you for drinking too many of the above.

Denim everything. Denim jackets, the perfect denim mini skirt, denim pedal pushers, denim bags.

Pairing the denim mini skirt with UGG boots, ballet pumps or bright pink Converse or Vans.

The super slicked back ponytail that took at least ten minutes to perfect, as well as three scoops of mousse, and two brushes. Then, teasing two strands of hair out. Chav chic, nailed it.

Crop tops.

Knowing one friend that got so paralytic they had to get their stomach pumped. And being thoroughly glad it wasn’t you.

It’s summer. What do you wear? A halter neck top complete with a push up bra of course, duh. Sexy and stylish.

Come on. Things we did waaay better than the teenagers in the noughties ... ?

I am a sixties teen. I had a boyfriend who lived just off the Kings Road in Chelsea (married him) and I shopped in Biba....the rest of you youngsters are AMATEURS.

So it's a list of things that teenagers were doing between 2000 and 2010.

And they thought that they were "their" things.

But we were doing them too. Only better.

[Psybbo]

Woof, I'm sure our paths have crossed!
