Also Meatballs and Friday the 13th, completely inappropriate for a tween but I watched them at that age, I think when it aired on HBO. I also had a pet rock. |

I had jeans from Express that folded over at the waistband to form these two triangles over the belt area. So f-ing ugly, but were all the rag where I lived. Also guess overalls, for girls. |

the advent of Lunchables
making mix tapes...waiting for a song to come on the radio and getting a bit snipped off the beginning and the radio dj's voice at the end trading stickers in your binders- oileys, fuzzies, shinys, etc... wearing overalls with one one shoulder strap fastened pacing up and down the aisles, taking 30 minutes to choose a video from Blockbuster or a video rental store playing flashlight tag in my suburban neighborhood until well after dark with 20 other kids TGIF when it was really an "event" crystal pepsi Just Say No (to drugs)! Endless games of SkipBo and Uno in aftercare or summer camp |
