I can't believe that I am old enough for things to come back around again!
The clothes that are hot right now are nothing more than updated 80's looks. And I saw a commercial the other day for Strawberry Shortcake. They have updated her too - hair extentsions. And now you can buy the 80's video games - like 5 in one - plug it into your tv and play.

Yea, I'm 23, and I remember last year at Christmas they were talking on some news show about how all the "hot" toys of the year were the "RETRO" toys.

They were all the ones I had played w/as a kid, updated and brought back! My little pony, strawberry shortcake, etc. That even made me feel old!
