Remember "Girl Talk"?

I'm not talking about a one-on-one conversation with your closest girlfriends over the phone or at a get-together.  I'm talking about the 80's board game for teens during those Friday and Saturday night sleepovers.

I remember it like it were yesterday--

I was brought over my New Kids On The Block sleeping bag and spent the night over at my girl Tammy's house.  She was obsessed with Milli Vanilli at that time, so we played Milli Vanilli cassette tapes.  I started getting sick of listening to Milli Vanilli and asked her if I could play Madonna's "Immaculate Collection" album.  We broke out the game while "Like A Prayer" was playing in the background.

While I was sitting in my Betty Boop PJ's and she was wearing her Milli Vanilli T-Shirt and long johns, we got out the Girl Talk board game ready to play the game of truth or dare.

Here is a description found on Amazon of what the game is all about:


Spin the spinner and earn points by acting out silly stunts and sharing special secrets. If you perform the stunt or share your secret, you win points. After you collect 15 points, you win one fortune card. If you " just can't" do the stunt of share your secret, you must place a Zit sticker on your face. The first player to collect the fortune Card in each category (Marriage, Career,Children,& special moments) wins the game and may read her own special fortune!


Some of the dares include:

Name a boy you'd like to date

Describe the perfect prom dress

Tell each player her best & worst features

Put an ice cube down your shirt and let it melt.

It sounds so corny now and perhaps it was even just as corny back then, but I was all about this game.  It became so popular that they created spin off versions like Girl Talk: Date Line.  The game even created a short lived TV show starring Sarah Michelle Gellar and Soleil Moon Frye!  Can you believe that?

Check out 2 clips below.  The first clip is a TV commercial for Girl Talk: Date Line and the second is a clip of the Girl Talk TV show.
