Back when boys wore their pants at their waist. And so did girls.

Is that two girls kissing in picture 2? And what's with the girl in the diaper in picture 16? Or the kid scratching his butt in picture 26? Look out for the guy molesting the pinball in picture 33!  :o

Not only girls had teased and permed hair in the 80s, remember? As for the rest, I'm not seeing anything you mentioned in those numbers of pictures.

I remember seeing one of those back in the day. I don't recall seeing a Swimmer - yet I just happened upon a minty fresh one at Richie Knucklez site.
