Ok, let’s have some fun. I am going to list my favorites over my life. Based on what you know of pop culture, can you guess how old I am? For those of you that read my blog and know how old I am, please allow the others to guess.
As a 4 year old, I adored Grease 1. I once went to the salon at JC Penny with a picture of Sandy and said “can you make my hair look like this?” 2 hours later I had a tight perm and crying into my pillow.
As a child, my sister (hot mess sister) and I would belt out “Like a Virgin” in the grocery store, dancing in the aisles as my mother attempted to grocery shop.
As a tweener I NEVER missed ALF on NBC.
SWATCH was the thing. At one point I wore a watch in my hair and/or 2 watches on my wrist.
I never listened to Nirvana or Guns-N-Roses. Instead I was listening to Janet Jackson, Love Fool by the Cardigans and Salt N Pepa.
During my internship with Ralph Lauren, I went up the World Trade Center elevators to the top deck to exclaim, “I can’t believe this cost $11 to come up here. What in the world?”
My first date with my husband was seeing Titanic. I drooled over Leonardo DiCaprio.
In college I would NEVER miss an episode of Will and Grace.
I had a brief conversation with Paris Hilton at her most famous time. This is when she was dating Nick Carter. Was that his name?
I am the black widow of Presidential candidates. I have attended both John Kerry’s and Mit Romney’s rally’s only for both of them to loose.
I am no longer carded at the grocery store. Instead, the grocery clerk just motions approval to me via their chin lift.
So how old? I would love to know how old you are and how old you think I am. If you think I’m 84, cool. Call it a pop cultural experiment. 🙂
42…. That’s my guess.
42, the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything.
😀
Ha! It was fun looking back at all of these movies, shows, etc. doing this.
I remember all of these shows but I was super young. So, I’m going to add from there and guess 37.
Good guess! I like that there are a 5 year guess between you and Sandra.
When are we going to find out the answer?! lol
Ding…ding…ding…ding! Winner, winner chicken dinner! Yep, I’m part of the group that grew up sans computer.
You are a young un. Somewhere are around 40. +/- 2 years.
Yes….I am a youngun’! To my children though, I am old. I about ground them when they point at someone that looks like they are knocking on death’s door and say “your older than them mom!”
Well I’m 51 so to me your a young un. 😉
I am 45 and I would say by the things you listed you are about my age but a little younger so I would say 40 give or take. (When you are over 40 “a little younger” is at least 5 years but could be 10. 😉 )
Id say late 30’s, 38,39?!?!
39….but occasionally Ill say 24. 🙂
I’m thinking 41.
BUT … The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42.
39 and holding…..I told my husband I want a huge party! 🙂
Can I come? 😉
I think 41 but I liked all those things and I am 55…;)
41 was the popular age! Ha! 39! Co-workers thought I was 30 till I told them. SPF 100 has finally paid off!
Remember that we haven’t seen you unless that’s you with the big ears and fur on your face! You sound as though life is a party so that’s keeps you young at heart.
Oh yeah, your right. 1/2 the time the party is in my head. Life is humorous material to me. Sometimes all you can do is laugh! You know?
Nominated you! https://wordpress.com/post/hotmessmemoir.com/6766
41? I’m 41 so I’m thinking we are the same age?
Almost the same age….39, but I would like to consider myself a seasoned 24 yr old. 😉
