    The first drink I ever had was a big slug from a bottle of Lonesome Charlie, we snuck it from my friends parents liquor cabinet. I think the combination of theft and underage drinking did it. Helluva sentence

    We are all well~punished for our joyful, youthful transgressions, eh, Egads007? But at least we still retain our senses of humor, phew! Great screen name, by the way

    DianaMS1, I was all in on the Germaine Monteil "Bakir". It was even louder than the Youth Dew.

    No DianeMS1, it was either the Topaze or Tabu we slathered on. (couldn't afford the Chanel #5)

    Hi everyone. Nice to see this thread pop up every so often.

    LOL@Youth Dew, Bakir, Topaz & Tabu!

    Tomboy - thank you! Gotta love your profile pic, very cool, but what the heck is it? I have the same hair when I wake up lol

    Hiya Patoo, remember Charlie? That was all I could afford.

    Working in a drugstore on Christmas Eve night would do it. When I did as a teenager probably a dozen last minute shoppermen would want to spray perfume on me to see what it smelled like. By the end of the night I wanted to gag. I have to admit though that I sure wish I had another bottle of Jovan Frankincense & Myrrh.

    Ohhhh, I remember Jovan. But wasn't it a little bit more expensive than Charlie?

    And of course we slathered that stuff on. Probably caused much BC in the surrounding area because we put on so much!

    Now I need to go back and find all of them to apologize because I gave them BC.

    Oh my gosh....definitely the Aqua Net coupled with the effects of a bottle of Strawberry Boonesfarm....pretty positive that combo did me in...oh and not driving 55mph - my mother always said - bad things happen when you go too fast...welllllllll she was right.

    Aqua net!! Dedicated to big hair lovers everywhere!

    Charlie was in a blue box, Shelly Hack was the spokesperson for ages:

    Kissing Potion combined with "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific." You could probably smell our hair a block away. Fabric softener sheets have nothing on that shampoo

    ooooh my gosh - I had all those lip potions as well. My sis and I would fight over them...she was always losing hers and then taking mine! I was just thinking about Love's Baby Soft the other day. Since last year, I have been going back and listening to American Top 40 with Kaycee Kasum...(is that how you spell it) One of the broadcasts about three Sunday's ago had the commercial.....mmmmmeeeeemmmmmooooorrrrriiiiieeeesss light the corner of my mind....misty water colored memmmmooooorrrrriiiiiieeeesssss.....

    And I still adore Love's Baby Soft. I have a bottle! Love to take a bath, then douse myself with baby lotion, baby powder and a little spritz of the cologne before crawling in bed. Maybe the baby powder caused my ovarian cancer (don't really believe that.) I was just looking at my medical records from five years ago. My pathology specimen ovary weighed 8705 grams. Yes, 19.2 pounds! Impressive, huh?

    Hahahaha.....YES, that's it! Jean Nate, Aqua Net and Boonesferry wine cocktail for breast cancer! Well, that and I once basted myself in Roundup as suntan lotion, thinking I was using a clean spray bottle of water, but my mom had put Roundup in it, unbeknownst to me! Got the best tan ever that day!

    Ladies, you are crackin' me uuuuuup!! So glad to see this thread active again, it's hilarious, right from the start! I think I got bc from a serious LACK of all those things~ (tomboy), but oh, how I wanted tie back blouses, anyone remember those? My poor mom refused, as she made many of my clothes.. and I really really wanted some of those lip glosses, though, but my baby sitting money went to school lunches for me & sibs, mostly, altho I would eat so many doritos, and read comics. Was that it?!?
