Polly Pocket
Talk about unrealistic body expectations
Tamagotchi
There was no greater feeling than cleaning up its poop.
Choker tattoo necklaces
The perfect Claire’s-bought accessory for the baby prostitute.
Milky Pens
What better form of entertainment is there than inking your own body with toxic neon ink?
Butterfly Clips
The number of butterfly clips in your hair at one time was directly proportionate to how cool you were. Fucking duh.
Pumas
The fugliest sneaker since the Sketcher. Remember the ones with the slip on back? Even cuter.
Steve Madden platforms
Snap an ankle, easiest way to get out of gym class.
Kate Spade backpacks
The Prada backpack's povo younger sister. It went really well with your Hervé Chapelier pencil case. Hello Kitty can go fuck herself.
Cat's Cradle
Remember when you used to be able to entertain yourself with a piece of fucking string?
Furby
A super fun toy, especially when it would go off in the middle of the night and wake up your entire house. Also super fun to hit it with a bat because it won't shutup even after you take the batteries out.
Beanie Babies
Every young betch had an elite collection of rare beanies: You'd rather swallow nail polish remover than cut the Ty heart off and you made girls who bought fake ones want to drown themselves in Herbal Essences shampoo.
Abercrombie
Denim skirts, T-shirts with the logo, and more lace tank tops with that stupid fucking moose than you can count. The extra smalls were maybe suitable for a toddler, but perfect for any pre-teen slut. Also, their ad campaigns were always so kid friendly.
War Heads
If you never had a competition with one of your friends to see who could eat the most without spitting them out, you probably had a very active circle of imaginary friends.
Juicy
Middle school was classy as fuck.
Dying!

Posted on — Replysome spot on but most of this is early 2000’s!
Posted on — ReplyYou are right about that, but chokers were pretty 90s though
Posted on — ReplyIts also late 60 s and 70 s. My grandmother used to crochet us each a flower one. How cool is that!!!??? ( lol )
Posted on — ReplySo accurate, everything applies!
Posted on — ReplyYou forgot Lisa Frank stationary…no betch would ever go to school without those fancy notebooks and stickers!
Posted on — Replyhaha so much truth
Posted on — Reply‘Kate Spade Backpacks: The Prada backpack’s povo younger sister.’ Priceless.
Posted on — ReplyIt’s like you betches dug through my old closet and found everything I held dear in elementary/middle school.
Posted on — ReplyThis is the best post yet. Literally, perfect.
Posted on — Reply90sgirlproblems was way ahead of you betches
Posted on — ReplyTears… “Snap an ankle, easiest way to get out of gym class”
Posted on — ReplySome are accurate, but Juicy Couture was like post 2001, not 90’s at all.
Posted on — ReplyRight? It’s like the one glaring mistake. The rest are spot on, though I graduated high school in 97…post my pre-teen slut years and in to full-blown slutdom.
Posted on — ReplyBetch, if you wore a Juicy tracksuit to a 90’s themed party (149. Themed Parties), you’d be laughed at. Juicy suits are early 2000’s.
Posted on — ReplyJack Purcell’s reigned over Steve Madden at my middle school

... Idk about modern Polly Pockets, but those are not the Polly Pockets we used to play with…

Posted on — Replyo m g
Posted on — Replyeverything posted was increasing better to reminisce on
So perfect. I was so obsessed with juicy that I petitioned my school to lift its ban on it. Like a betch, I won. Fuck yeah America.

Posted on — ReplyJuicy was definitely early 2000s???
Posted on — ReplyLip smackers
Posted on — ReplyHow about collecting Milk ads? And I think I had Lip Smackers lip gloss in every color of the rainbow.
Posted on — ReplyJelly sandals deserve AT LEAST an honorable mention. Fucking duh.
Posted on — ReplySo spot on I can’t even handle it! hahahahaha
Posted on — ReplyYou made girls who bought fake ones want to drown themselves in Herbal Essences shampoo. I fucking died at this sentence. American Girl Dolls and their kits need to get an honorable mention
Posted on — ReplyLol, worth my time and my thumbs up, I’ll say that much.
Posted on — ReplyThis was one of the best posts I’ve read in a long time..,thank you for bringing me back into the 90 s,...

N*SYNC magazine / Tiger Beat / sneaking copies of your older sister’s/cousin’s old YMs. (god, i miss YM).
Aeropostale.
gurl.com when it was good (until about 12 when I was over it)
booklets inside CDs/VHS’s that folded out into toooootally sah-weet posters for your (pink) bedroom.
Passport to Paris / Billboard Dad / Our Lips Are Sealed
The first few Clique books (“did I invite you to my barbecue? ...then why are you all up in my GAH-RILL?!”)
password journal that you set up and were then eternally locked out of because it couldn’t recognize your voice
huge-group dinners at chain restaurants after the middle school dance
those shower shoes with the little plastic things on the soles that KILLED to walk around in but you wore them because everyone else did
sugar shoes (floatie flip-flops, or why we’ll all have arthritis in our feet at like 30, but at least we looked amazing getting it)
flannel pajamas to class (for a year, and only for my public-school friends who i was insanely jealous of)
the Keds with the watermelons (what happened to Mischa Barton?!)
Girl Talk / MASH / frozen bra (??) / TV-set karaoke at slumber parties
snap bracelets
BFF bracelets / necklaces
Spice World (the movie). and i ALWAYS ended up being Baby Spice (my friends’ way of punishing me for being skinny and blonde).
sparkle lava lamp
and SWEET VALLEY FUCKING HIGH. AKA identical twins nicegirl Elizabeth and betch-in-training Jessica.

Posted on — ReplyWhat about those pencils that once the lead ran out on one cartridge, you put it in the back of the pencil and push the next catridge forward? And if you lose a catridge, you were fucked and could never use that pencil again?
Posted on — ReplyThe more I read the more I loved… and then I just started to get creeped out. It’s like someone was watching me and taking notes.
Posted on — ReplyP.S. Megan L, Gettin’ jiggy wit it was the ONLY way to get down! :D

Posted on — Replythose chokers…. oh no… what an awful trend when i see pictures of me in those i want to go back to the future, just for 1 minute and cut them apart. believe it or not i have seen them being worn by girls today who never caught on to the trend being over…or the common sense to understand why lolol
Posted on — ReplyI remember Hello Kitty and Spice Girls ! Definitely needs to be added onto the list.
Posted on — ReplyI STILL love Hello Kitty. Lol
Posted on — ReplyHahahahah xD
Posted on — Replyhahahaha omg i so remember all of those and pretty much participated in everything on that sweet ass list.
Posted on — ReplyHahahahaha… What about striped tracksuit (sweat) pants with the press studs down the sides…LMAO
Posted on — ReplyWhen I see studs, I ask #1 if he wants me to suck his prick and if his buddy wants to fuck me. I get lots of action and stay in great shape.
Posted on — ReplyOmg, I remember all of these. Lol
Posted on — ReplyHaven’t heard of half these and I definitely lived thru the 90’s!! Who the F*** is Kate Spade?? and Steve Madden??
Posted on — ReplyAsterisks in lieu of the full-on, fasterharderdeeperwetterbetter four-letter attention-getter? BB plz. What, is Vanna White in the house? Would you like to buy a vowel? FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. Unleashed the motherfucking caps lock, JIC mums is sneaking peeks at the incendiary material this so 50 Shades of Ghey clearly isn’t.
And uh, not to be the saccharine-tinged, venti nonfat quad caf-Freon-in-my-bloodstream F.B.F. of Courtney Shayne that I am, but gag YOU with a Jawbreaker (and the goddamn teen dream while you’re at it). Kate Spade? So not alt. So mega the quotient, white-washed uptight W.A.S.P. Cunts From Connecticut in her ads (and customers…and wanna-be customers, who swarmed Canal Street and Santee Alley on each coast nabbing knock-offs quicker than you could whisper “So it’s like, Kate — as in: Brosnahan — as in: masthead cred, Mademoiselle magazine). Debuted basic black nylon, logo/label with her moniker on the front; took it from there, though always understated in that “retro-cut-with-cherry-print-fabric is as daring as things get” sense of the term. Boyfriend-cum-hubs tried his hand at accessories as well, but let’s skip the whole Andy a.k.a. Jack scenar to prevent you . . . I don’t know, hemorrhaging or something.
To be fair, the mouth-breathing and egregious usage of punctuation marks in pairs could be in distinct correlation to how *indistinct* her designs were (please note the power of past tense, since The “Spades” - as any other burgeoning design duo cognizant that a mid-level corp pigeonholed as, well, mid-level, won’t sprout into a luxe powerhouse - sold the company / all creative direction to Liz Claiborne….who, apropos this OP, happens to have also acquired a heinous stain on All That Is Fashion: namely, mass-produced, mega-marketed, straight-from-the-sweatshop yet deemed “Couture” by its own Juicy bragadoccio.
Except you know what? Sweetheart, forget I said anything. Two words: LIFE ALERT
and
Color me the fuck outta here!
(What. A. Waste. Of. Happy Hour, FML)

Posted on — ReplyEw at all of you lame advertisers…vom. It’s so not betchy to try and promote yourself. Nobody wants to read your shit.
Posted on — ReplyI remember all of these but the Steve Madden platform sneakers make me laugh! LOL I had a pair of those and along with just being ugly, they didn’t stay white for long.

Posted on — Replyits really good and nice…...
Posted on — ReplyThis list is from someone who was rich and a MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILD in the 90’s. Voice of authority on trends right there.
Posted on — ReplyFirst off, LOVE. Second- I just had a discussion with my middle school/high school friends, and we all agree that Soffe shorts need to be added to this amazing list. The ones rolled up to the max, of course.
