Pants Party

Six more days until mom goes on her yearly week long visit to see her family in Alaska. Six more days of my little "vacation" too.

Two things from my 1983 catalogue project:

I love this. I had a Barbie Burger King just like this that I bought from the thrift store when I was 8 or 9. I guess Barbie and Ken just came from the Honky Tonk club to eat some Quarter Pounders (I don't think the Big Mac was around in 1983 yet?) at 9:30 at night or something.

The JC Penny catalogue calls these clothes retro. Keep in mind this photo was taken in 1983. We look at those clothes now and call them retro. I don't know which time period JC Penny was referring to when they called these clothes retro in 1983. We they talking about fall of 1982?

Mom brought home BLT's from this little convenience store down the street and they tore my mouth all up.

^^edit^^

Oh,and we got our new direct tv boxes and remotes in today. i was afraid that we'd end up getting the big lame blue remotes, but we didn't:

I need a honky-tonk Ken and I need one right now.

I'm a Catalogue Geek!

Upon a first glance, that doesn't even look like a real Ken doll (you know, made by Mattel) but I know that McDonalds/Burger King was made by Mattell, and they would never dare put a knockoff Ken with a Mattel playset, so I guess that has to be a legit Ken.

foods that tear up my mouth: cap'n crunch, and sour patch kids. I swear the cap'n is designed to scrape 3 layers of skin off the roof of your mouth, and sour patch kids are just plain acid (on the outside)

I remember there's a scene in the Douglas Coupland book Microserfs where the main character; Dan gets his mouth shredded on come Cap'n Crunch.

Quaker's OH'S cereal does the same thing ot my mouth.

I believe it's Cap'n Crunch Cereal that does this. Anyhow there's a cereal...that if you like, leave in your mouth to suck on or just leave in your mouth for long periods of time it eats the inside of your mouth. What a great kids cereal.
