Well, I don’t know where you are from, but here in PA they were just jelly bracelets… I might still have them, maybe I’ll change the name and go wake up my hubby:wink:
What fashions would you like to see go or stay out of style?

You must be close to my age. I had one of those plastic chains and at leat a dozen of the plastic charms. The ones with moving parts or gadgets on them were the best.I read that, great!

Yeah, but my jelly shoes were such a pretty pearly pink that I didn’t care if they stuck to my skin.

My sister loved her jelly shoes, but we had them in the 90’s.

I would like most of clothes that are common these days to go out of style.
On the topic of awesome bracelets, my sisters and I had the snap bracelets. That is until they banned them from school. When we were younger we were really into those charms you clipped onto your shoelaces or a zipper pull.

I wore jelly sandals (the real ones, a dollar a pair at 7-11) and O-rings (the original jelly bracelets, I guess, just plumbers’ rings, a nickel to maybe twenty cents each) in the 80’s. Soon glitter bracelets came out. I wore them in beautiful colors, glitter floating in a liquid medium with a bubble. I would almost bet money there was no sexual connotation to any of those items then. In fact, they symbolized a kind of freewheeling innocence and integrity in a way. They were the opposite of the flashy grossness of some other styles that were around. I fel so sad when I learn how the same boring drab depressing ugliness gets dumped on everything lovely and sweet as soon as anything lovely and sweet comes into the world. Why can’t the people who love depressing stuff just have most of the world and leave something pretty for the rest of us in a corner somewhere? Why do they have to claim the entire culture?

I remember the glitter bracelets. Totally no sexual connotation with them at all. However, even as few as ten years ago the world was so much less sexualized.
