I’m not Bored . . . Who Said ‘Bored’?

Mon 16 Jul 2007 11:10 am

Apparently sitting at a house that is not your own for 3 weeks with nothing to do is more fun than you think. Well, it’s fun if the owners have TIVO and you can record 90210 and Melrose Place all day and watch them all night!

The favorite I have watched so far is one in which Kelly is announced to be the Spring Princess and her and Brenda go dress shopping for the dance together. They both find the same dress and get in a huff about how they can’t wear the same one. Kelly says she doesn’t like it and Brenda decides something similar so they both put the dress down. Meanwhile, Donna has found a most ridiculous red ruffled, full skirt number that does look rather pretty but makes for even more awkwardness with Donna.

I don’t really understand why she is friends with the prettiest, most popular girl, Kelly, and her best friend Brenda anyways. Donna is shy, like I said awkward, not too good with the boys, in fact none of them are even interested in her. And Kelly, if you go on a date with her and don’t try something you must be crazy because every boy apparently does. So Donna, she’s the frumpy friend. Kelly is slutty spice, Donna is frumpy spice, and Brenda is bitchy spice.

Okay so back to my story, so they go to the dance and Brenda and Kelly are wearing the same dress that they both put down and said they wouldn’t buy. Oh NO!! Kelly is being selfish (for a change, ha!) and thinks because she is Spring Princess she just thinks Brenda should go change. Brenda says she just doesn’t give a damn. End of that story. So off they go promising to stay on opposite sides of the room which works well considering Dylan got a hotel room for the night for him and Brenda. Bad boy.

At the dance, Steve, who has taken frumpy spice refuses to dance with her (like I said, no good with boys) and he is a jerk all night because Kelly invited Brandon and he just can’t get over Kelly. Brandon is all ‘don’t tell me where you two are headed because I don’t want to hear about it’ to Dylan and his sister. OH! And the best part!?! David promises Kelly (who he has a crush on and in his near future will soon be an step-brother to) that he is going to win the dance contest so that he can have the last dance with her. He is a skinny nerd so she just laughs in his face. Well you should see this boy’s ‘Vanilla Ice’ moves! He wins because clearly if you dance like Vanilla Ice you are the coolest of all in 90s dance land.

David wins and gets Kelly. Steve looses and will never get Kelly, but at least he apologizes to Donna for being a bad date. Brandon is just neutral like he always is and nothing exciting happens. Dylan gets Brenda, vice versa. Kelly gets her stupid crown and Andrea gets her butt to the dance without a date and although they all talk to her in the end I think secretly no one likes her cuz this is high school baby, and girls like Kelly just don’t talk to girls like Andrea! The girls a geek!

So, all this entertainment for me . . . it all boils down to one thing. Sitting with two smelling dogs is fun, as long as Aaron Spelling is in the mix.

Oh, and . . . I had these too. And there is proof that Steve never wins and Andrea is not REALLY part of the group. You don’t see dolls of them do you?

. . . and the Rockers!

dun dun . . . Barbie & The Rockers! Rockin’ out with bananas blah blah . . . yeah! Diva, Dana, Derek and Dee Dee too!!!! Ooo! Barbie and the Rockers! dun dun! Barbie and the Rockers!!

I am rather excited today because over the course of this week I have found pictures of 34 of the Barbies I had when I was little and am proud to say are still tucked away at my parents house for the day I decide you are never too old to play with dolls and dig them out for a reunion! And boys you should never believe you are too old to play with Transformers or Micro Machines for that matter, because I know if I was a boy I would still want to be playing with them! They rule!

In all my excitement I began looking for my favorite playtime gals on ebay and am surprised to find that you really can buy anything on ebay! You give them up when you are young and think they are gone forever, but they’re just on ebay! Isn’t that wonderful? I am currently watching the auctions for 19 Barbies, mostly in the ‘Barbie & The Rockers’ genre, because I love the Hot Pink & Neon Orange they sport and the 80s rock vibe they put off! As much as I love Guitar Hero I find it hard to believe that I wouldn’t also still be in love with these ‘Rockers’. So if I don’t end up with the ‘Lot’ of all the Rockers so I can relive my youth and to finally have what I always wanted (I did have 2 of the Barbies, but no Diva, Dana, Derek or Dee Dee . . . and it hurts! It really hurts!) then I may bid on the 1982 ‘Twirly Curls Barbie’ (which my cousin had and I used to dream over) or the 1988 ‘Barbie and The Sensations, Belinda’ (which was so incredibly rad with her Neon Green Lettermen’s Jacket) and there are always the ‘California Dreams Barbie or Teresa’ (which would be fabulous to own considering the ‘California Dreams Midge’ was one of my all time favorites). Dreams can come true thanks to ebay, you can have what you always wanted no matter if you are 27 and still dreaming of ‘Barbie’ or 27 and in love with the idea of ‘Optimus Prime’. Your youth is always with you. ;) Like the force!

Oh apparently it’s “Barbie and the Rockers, Rockin out so totally in the groove! Diva, Dana, Derek & Dee Dee too!! Ooo!” Close enough.

Reminiscing back to some of my favorite years for toys and other things . . . and downloading fun images of what reminds me of them. I couldn’t help but share. It is nearly impossible to look back and not have warm fuzzy feelings. All the rainbows, furry bears, flowing pink haired ponies, sparkling rocker dolls and pig-tailed little girls. You can’t look and not feel a smile warm over your face. At least I can’t.
