Because we are throwing our monthly 90s party with Good Kids this Friday at The Annex Wreckroom, it made me think about my ’90s bedroom. In 1995, I was 15 and in Grade 10; this is the stuff that hung on my walls and cluttered my shelves.
- Poster of Luke Perry AND Jason Priestly
- Bart Simpson phone that all my friends idolized
- CK ONE ads
- Way too many CDs from Columbia Records that got me into serious financial problems (I eventually had to ask for help from my parents)
- Basket of Lipsmackers (I was in the Lipsmackers monthly fan club, okay?)
- Glow in the dark star stickers
- Slap bracelets that would more often than not cut people
- Ouija board for slumber parties that always went hand in hand with stolen bottles of wine
- Koosh Ball came in handy on really boring days
- Stained and disgusting maroon Converse One-Stars that I wore with used cords and my Dad’s sweaters
- Choose Your Own Adventure novels and Sweet Valley High (I idolized those twins!)
- Timotei Shampoo
- I wrote the lyrics to “No Need To Argue” by The Cranberries in a gold pen underneath my desk
- Pink velcro Finder Binder
- Weezer Blue Album (I listened to “UNDONE” allllll the time)
What was in your ’90s teenage bedroom?
