Ever hear an 80's song on the radio, you know one of those disco-y ones, and have a longing for the 80's? Yeah, me either. But I do however have an unbearable yearning for the good old days of the 90's. GMO-full not free snacks, (umm gushers and fruit roll ups anyone? Lunchables? Sorry Michelle Obama I know you want us to be healthy but sometimes something so wrong tastes too right.) Anyway, I am a 90's gal all the way and here are some signs of it:
1) You identified with a specific spice girl (Scary Spice is bae) and to this day you are filled with a certain kind of elation when you get to sing "Tell me what you want what you really really want!"
2) DELIA's!!! Remember Delia's? Remember when that was a thing? Also while we are at it let's throw in Claire's and Limited Too to this fashionable party!
3) CHOKERS!!! Fashionable and slightly deadly! (as many things so often are).
4) Butterfly hairclips!! You'd get them at the drugstore, glory in the glitter, wear them for like a day, and then have them break. Yay.
5) You were a Britney bitch. And let's face it, when of us loved that scene where the guy in the "Oops I did it again!" music video said "well baby I went down and got it for you." Her red outfit. Her everything. Britney was bae as well.
6) CRIMPED HAIR. A trend that did not go very well for me or my hair.
7) Dawson's Creek!!! Was anyone else super disappointed when Don't Trust the B In Apartment 23 was cancelled a few years ago?? You know, the show with FREAKING DAWSON IN IT?!!!
8) It makes me feel slightly less old when I see the little girls at work checking out American Girl books. American Girl will most likely still be a way to teach girls about history even in the year 3100. Although, the dolls? Yeah, those aren't a thing anymore. Which is great because I'm actually really afraid of dolls.
9) MARY KATE AND ASHLEY. Who, by the way, look really scary nowadays. Kind of a Lindsey Lohan situation I guess.
10) Can I just say I had baskets AND BASKETS full of Beanie Babies? Lots and lots of beanie babies. I honestly don't know why I needed all of those beanie babies but OH WELL! THEY WERE CUTE AND HAD VARIETY!!!!
