(part 3

I’m finally done scanning this, girl it took forever. I’m flying by the seat of my pantyhose with this. I think Oprah said that once.  Remember, these images are external images.

Remember when cars were this color?

Capri cigarettes are the sexiest cigarettes. The Rite Aid down the street from my college was one of the only places that still sold these in the area. They still sold More cigarettes too.

Jackie Collins’ notebook–I read in the article that she was still handwriting her books.

I feel like … once you turned 19? You had this dress in 1995. Any chick 19 years or older had this dress.

It bums me out that Joe Boxer is a KMart brand now. I remember what a BIG DEAL it was to me to find Joe Boxer items at TJMaxx. My dad gave me a Joe Boxer watch for my 14th birthday from TJMaxx. I loved it. I kept it in its original happy face box most of the time. It had the happy face in a light bulb, and instead of numbers on the analog watch, it was the word THINK! in courier. I can’t find a picture of it!

This was about a year and a half? before the beginning of my Evian obsession. I still drink a giant bottle of it almost once a week.

Tom Hanks: been spotted driving “one of those four wheel drive things”.

He went on to voice a cowboy! Tom probably had just finished wrapping up Toy Story a few months prior.

Wow. I just remembered that George Burns scared me when I was little.

I like that in the Simpsons universe, George Burns is Mr. Burns’ brother:

This shot of women oscar winners bums me out because of the outfit someone put Kathy Bates in. Whoopi’s outfit is on point though.

I almost forgot that Val Kilmer was a Batman. I always think of Clooney Batman when I think of mid 1990s Batman. This was “Kiss from a Rose” Batman era.

Vanity Fair, April 1995

I also forgot that Jim Carrey was in Batman before Cable Guy. I thought Cable Guy was his first insane paycheck movie. Cable Guy: the movie that ushered in the Summer of 1996.

138. Robin Williams’ arms in “Hook” (1991)

I read somewhere years ago that Robin had to either get his arms waxed or shaved before filming HookI don’t even know the source, but I think it because he didn’t look like Peter Pan with that jungle on his arms.
