To be quite frank, I didn't realize how close to home this session of reminiscing would hit me. The happy memories that were brought back to my overly stressed college brain were worth procrastinating my paper a little. So yeah, you can afford to, too. Let’s go, gurlz.
1. Bratz Babyz:
I mean, how else am I supposed to imagine the spice girls as babies?
2. Rubber Clothes for Polly Pockets:
Isn't it obvious? Cotton is just too basic. Besides, who ever said your clothes couldn't be as glossy as your lips?
3. Light Blue Bratz Convertible:
Because with the pink flame, the fuzzy seats and the popped trunk, ain’t nobody messin’ with my clique.
4. Polly Pocket's Rock 'n Pop STRETCH Limo:
I’m sorry, it is not every day your already super cool car can transform into a rockin’ limo. It is clearly necessary for ridin’ dirty. Oh, and did I mention the hot tub?
5. Bratz Lip Phone:
Because if you aren’t talking into a huge pair of lips, are you even properly gossiping!?
6. Barbie Beetle:
Thought Beetles couldn’t get any cooler? Well you’re wrong, because adding Barbie makes anything cooler.
7. Bratz Boyz:
These fly fellas are a given, just look at them...more than ready to steal some hearts. “Mom, Chloe has to be with Cameron, and Sasha has to be with Ethan…why are you being so complicated!?"
8. Mini Polly Pockets and Sets:
Because not everyone was #blessed with the hand-me-downs from the older girls in the fam. But for those of us who were, we were #winning big. Seriously, look at the endless number of crazy adventures.
9. Mini Bratz:
These were just necessary, OK? Added perk: You probably got them in your Happy Meal once or twice.
10. Mini Bratz Fashion Mall:
Seriously though, when Miley says, “If you a lame, that’s a shame you can’t hang with us,” she is definitely talking about hanging in the mini mall. This is still one of my favorites. It has an escalator... a freaking escalator.
11. Lil Bratz Loungin’ Loft:
So, it’s portable. Oh, and you see that hook at the top? That's right, it's to operate the elevator. Need I say more?
12. This Barbie HUNK:
He's a surfer dude and he smells like coconut? If this isn’t California dreamin', I don’t know what is.
13. And these:
These have totally been around since the 90’s, but they have stayed around and everyone was obsessed with them at some point… plus, when does this not bring joy?
I would especially like to thank my mom and dad for actually making these wish-list items come home to me (although they saw the ridiculousness). But ultimately, shout out to the #SQUAD - without you, almost none of these needs would have been created. Yas queens, YAS.
