Please note: It has been a year and a half since I logged in to TVSA, FORGIVE me if this was written before:

Fashion come and go but memories will always stand the test of time.  Taking you down the memory lane:


Where where you......?

1.  When TVSA introduced the gold membership?

2. When people used to rock the black "boy"/"girl" caps?

3. When people used to rock those black All Star lookalike takkies, some call them cats, some ditender and other digatama**pa

4. When we had beverages like Shana
(was it?), Pine Nut, Mellow Yellow, Crossbowcider, Vivo,GinZing

5. When gals used to rock amaphondo with white wool/pantihose and guys rock perm like the Jackson 5s, freeze, s curl

10. When the likes of Grant Shakwane, Shado Twala,
 Thabo Mokwele, Mapaseka Makoti-Mokwele were still on the then Radio Metro

11. When O R Tambo International was known as Jan Smuts

12. When chicks used to rock that complicated hairstyle, we used to call it "braiding" where someone will end up looking like she's wearing a mat

13. When music groups like Twins, Mark Alex, Alaska were hitting the airwaves
