out of boredom tonight, i was looking at the polly pockets and the littlest pet shops in the toy aisle at walmart. and i was thinking…they sure didn’t look like this crap when i was little. in fact, i’d forgotten how a lot of them looked. so i looked on ebay for old polly pocket sets and old littlest pet shop sets. i was thrilled with my findings. it was like taking a trip down memory lane again! i also looked for those cupcake dolls (their hats were the tops of the cupcakes and their skirts were the bottom) that you folded up into cupcakes…and sure enough, they had those, too (very few of them, but they were there). i found these earrings under the polly section, and i’m seriously considering buying them. she also has these earrings for sale, too, but the first pair are my favorites. i think these are an EXCELLENT representation of nostalgia for 90’s girls. not a joke. i am so excited. i really want those earrings.

there’s one polly pocket i’d really like to have in my possession again. it was really fat and in the shape of a pink heart. it had a castle on the inside, along with a princess polly and her prince and a carriage. the castle lit up, too. i LOVED that thing. i found it on there, but it was missing the dolls. i know that it’s absolutely silly to spend money on shit like this, but sometimes you just have to have a piece of your childhood to hang on to, y’know? when they came out with those new carebears, i bought a replica of the exact same one i had when i was little– that tealish/greenish bear with the smiling star on its tummy (wish bear). sometimes i wonder if my obsession with my childhood is ridiculous and pathetic, but i guess everyone does this from time to time.
