HRB said I could post this. My sister and I used to dress him up like a doll. Here I am styling his wig. We didn’t see anything wrong with it. We were Barbie deprived and saw it as an opportunity for play.
Little known fact:Â Chuck Norris’ sisters did this to him, too.Â

This is hilarious! I so remember this! and those Coke pants! Sounds like Danny is pretty secure with his masculinity to let you put this on the web!!

tommy, first of all..that’s hilarious and thank you for doing your job as dir. of good taste! I was 11 years old and saved up my allowance to special order those Coke pants from the back of some teen magazine with Donny Osmond on the cover. They were bell bottoms with a draw string. I loved them more than life itself!
I can’t believe the Coke pants have upstaged my little brother’s plaid skirt!

Suzie, remember the sea horses I ordered by mail? And didn’t you have some sort of shelled being in a box? OMG…HRB’s turtles!

I think I look pretty good in that get-up. Anyone has anything bad to say about it can come to Houston and say it to my face.

I didn’t do anything weird as a kid. I was quite normal. But my husband on the other had was VERY weird! When he had braces, he used to put a 9 volt battery to them to see if they still worked! Genius! I married a genius!

HRB, you make a damn good looking girl!!
When my son Logan was little he used to let me paint his fingernails with clear polish. My husband was not amused!

Hey, I remember the sea horses you could order - wanted those but ended up ordering the rocks you put in water and they grew?? Can’t remember what they were called, but they were different colors.
Me and my friends also decided we would order some of those x-ray glasses so we could check out Carlin Silvio’s older sister, but never could figure out whose house they would go to (cuz we knew our parents would figure out that we ordered the glasses to check out chicks). Oh, there was also the issue of coming up with $2.99 or whatever they cost, but we figured we could turn in enough coke bottles to come up with the cash. Never got those glasses - however, at age 51, I just got Lasik surgery, but Carlin’s sis is probably too old now to check out! Oh well, I can see again and reading glasses have been retired!!!
Sher, were those sea horses cool?

We used to call people at random and tell them we were “whomever” with local BR radio station (whatever the cool radio station was back then - guess it was KEEL up here during that time). We would tell them we were going to play a clip from a song and if they could name that song, they would win a prize (prizes ranged from lucrative cash to a new car, depending on how generous we felt on any given day). We would then lower the turntable arm and play the part of this song “Raindrops keep falling on my head” and then pick up the are - “Can you name that song”? You would not beleive how many people DID NOT know the song?? GO figure. However, we did give away cash and a new VW Bug a couple of times.

George, I remember the rocks! The seahorses were awesome. They were tiny. I was amazed they lived for so long. Lots of maintenance involved with the salt water.
Ha…prank phone calls before caller ID!

Did you ever call people and ask if there refrigerator was running? That was always a good one.
I’d like to know if anyone actually got the x-ray glasses!

My mom used to dress me up as a girl, too.

I desperately wanted the x-ray glasses as a kid. I had plans of using them at Town South Swim Club. My dream was crushed when I tested a pair out at “The Fun Shop” and found that they did not allow you to see through clothes (or anything else).

CT, you DO realize that link you just sent has the word “captainstlucifer” in the title?
Ohhhh, you Talleys.

See Linday….we both grew up to be lesbians.

CT - really bummed that the glasses did not work - the Town South idea would have been great. Can’t believe you found copy of the add. However, even if they would HAVE worked, the $1.25 would have been about 30+ coke bottles to turn in before we would have had enough funds.
