Remember cutting forms out of newspapers and sending them off with a cheque or money order to buy stuff? Stuff which took two or three weeks to arrive, which you were quite happy with.

Re: Ivy: The Yuppie Years

Mrs Brooks and I sat down to watch the 1987 film Baby Boom starring Diane Keaton t'other night, the intro of which is probably the most yuppie 5 mins ever put to film. New york in its heyday of new balance trainers, trench coats and brooks brothers suits.

This is the only decent clip I can find, no intro sadly

You can play a shoestring if you're sincere.

I liked this old post: https://80sactual.blogspot.com/2015/10/the-history-of-yuppie-word.html?m=1

My friends often call me a yuppie in jest and American psycho references are very common.

Is that a popped collar or are you just happy to see me?

Re: Ivy: The Yuppie Years

Can’t discuss yuppies without a mention of ‘The Big Chill’.
I believe it inspired the TV show ‘Thirty-something’
Hard to decide which was the more dull, and which had the more loathsome characters.
Both were in the eighties (TS lasted into the early nineties) but for some reason I associate them with the nineties which for me was largely drab and dull decade.

Chums. Nice comments in this thread.  Memories.  A shirt in the drawer indeed.
