80s Pop Explosion

80s Pop Explosion


My mother recently brought me some big containers full of stuff I put in the crawl space at at my parents house before I moved out for college...

They were like time capsules.....one with my Cabbage Patch Dolls (a female astronaut, a world traveler girl from spain, and a boy that I got when getting any "Cabbage" was impossible, with parents going to throws for that last dolls. There were also stuffed animals from miscellaneous relatives and ex-boyfriends.

The other was full of my Space Camp memorabilia, my toy space shuttles and old teen magazines. Teen Beat, Bop, you name it- most without covers and disected for the posters inside. Also, my Corey Haim shrine- well, not really a shrine, but hundreds of pictures I had cut out and collected from the miscellaneous teen magazines that lay before me. They were displayed on one wall of my room. Before I took them down I took a picture and I still have that picture in a photo album. Everything in that container was covered in mildew- do you know why? When Coke changed their formula in 1985, I decided to save a can of the old formula in the original can (believing at the time that the old formula was forever lost, and this would be a relic someday). Apparently, there was an 80's pop explosion- an empty can remains!

It is too cool to look at that old stuff, even though it smells horribly! Too bad me and Nic buried the Garbage Pail Kids in the back yard........
