Rewind, Rewind, You Can't Rewind...

Ok, the title is *another* Joel Plaskett song reference. What can I say, I'm addicted? But it is actually related to the content of this post as I have been in major '90's throwback mood lately. Without further ado, a few of the things I'm missing from the 90's (and I suppose early 2000's).

McDonald's Happy Meal Barbies

I used to love these toys (well pretty much everything Barbie!). My dad used to be easily persuaded to take us to McDonald's just to buy the toy. Julia and I used to love playing with these, and our mini beanie babies of course! 

Spice Girl Trading Card/Photos

Another childhood treasure Julia and I amassed. I had the second photo album, and way too many of those silly photo cards. How looking at the same pictures over and over again used to keep us entertained for hours I'm not really sure. We also used to dress up and put on Spice Girl concerts in the driveway- but who didn't? 

Teen People Magazine

I used to love these magazines, and pretty much any other overpriced magazine aimed at teens. I covered my walls with posters of "hot guys" and tried to recreate the crazy makeup tricks. Oh, and after I'd read each magazine about 40 times I would then hoard it away in my room, just in case I ever needed it again.

I think it's probably hard to find a girl who grew up in the 90's who didn't have a crush on JTT at some point. For some reason boys with terrible haircuts seemed so attractive back in the day. I had a huge JTT poster on my wall for much of elementary school. 

Sidenote: He's 32 now. Eek!

Inflatable Furniture

Around the sixth grade I became obsessed with the idea of inflatable furniture. I ended up with more than one chair, an inflatable smiley face, a pillow with foam dots in it and an inflatable smiley face man. Why this was cool, I'm really not sure. I mean really who doesn't want to sit on a hard rubbery chair that you can't move on for fear of popping it?

Music Of The '90's 

How can I blog about the '90's without a little love for the music that got me through many elementary school dances? Though some of it is pretty cheesy, I still love to rock out to the hits from the days when you had to wait for your favourite song to come on the radio, and then try and press record in time! 

Keep Smiling :)
