    Tamagotchi, nano, giga pets, snap bracelets, Helga and Arnold, Cory and Topanga

    I saw some payphones recently in the Cairo Airport. They looked so lonely.

    Those shoes with the rollers — “Heelies” — have made a comeback by me...very popular with the 8-12-year-old set.

    I also wore feathered roach clips in my hair. Kind of amazing my 4th grade teachers didn’t have a problem with it,

    Remember when Palm Pilots seemed like the height of technology?

    When my youngest son asked me for a cell phone I offered him my circa 2001 Motorola flip phone. He was unimpressed.

    Pagers. I remember my mum got 1 when they first came out and wore it on her belt. Man I thought she was the coolest person alive, receiving pages and all. That was some star trek *kitten* back in those days.

    I still have one for work

    You're so hip

    I may be dating myself here but remember when clipping a roach clip with a feather dangling off of it into your hair was a thing?

    An awesome thing

    What? This is over?? Shattered..


    note to self: next time you clip a feather in your hair and twirl around in a shawl with Stevie Nicks, close the blinds.

    I choreographed an entire lip synch routine to “Gypsy” featuring many of these elements when I was about 11. Long diaphanous skirt a must!
