Description
Sex: F
Type of clothing: feather clips
When it was popular: mid-80s
Description: I did a lot of rollerskating in the 80s (I am 36 yrs old). We girls would clip on these "featherclips" on the sides of our jeans, or use them as barrettes. I think they were actually clips for holding marijuana joints, I didn't know that at the time! They had elaborate, colorful feathers that swished when you skated or walked down the halls in school. I remember seeing them in the mall everywhere. I had gorgeous pink, blue, and multicolored featherclips. I kept them until I married in '88!

I totally remember these from my early childhood like 1981-1984. My older cousins would wear them in their hair all of the time but my mom thought they were tacky, maybe because she knew their real purpose? hehe

Every color in the rainbow!! Yes they were difinately roach clips, and it took me several months for my parents to let me have some. I got most of mine from our home town fair. Funny how it was mostly at fairs and carnivals that you could get these! It was probally a carny that made these up!

I had one - with fuchsia feathers... I'm pretty sure I got mine from a carnival too in 1982 when I was 9. It's home was clipped to the antenna of my 13" b/w tv for awesome reception!
