I was born in 86 so was going through my younger growing up days during the 90's. I loved the 90's, I even had a 90's themed birthday for my 26th birthday, back in 2012, where I dressed as a box of Crayola crayons, as you do! Here's a picture of me and my best friend aka Mr Potato Head...
...as you can probably tell it was a hot night!
So let's get on with the tag shall we?!
1. Favourite Disney Film?
I was a bit behind the times with Disney films so I used to love (and still do) the classics such as Bedknobs & Broomsticks and Mary Poppins.
2. NSYNC or Backstreet Boys?
Definitely the Backstreet Boys (sings "I want it that way") although that's not to say I wasn't partial to a bit of JT and the boys (sings "bye bye bye...").
3. Favourite music artist?
Okay now this is going to be a long answer as there was sooooo many artists that I loved during the 90's; Spice Girls, 5ive, Steps, All Saints, Cleopatra, S Club 7, Aaron Carter, A1, Eternal, 911, B*Witched, Point Break, Boyzone, Aqua, Venga Boys... I'm sure there's loads more that I've forgotten! I was one of those kids that used to make their own mix tapes from taping off the Top 40 on a Sunday evening, you did your very best not to get any of the DJ's voice in it!
4. Favourite candy / sweet?
Lots of awesome sweets I remember... Nerds, candy floss, poppets (chocolate raisins), mushrooms, shrimps and bananas, Bubbly Bubble Gum and jazzles!
5. Weirdest fashion trend?
Anyone remember the elastic tattoo necklaces? Me and my best friend used to love wearing ours. I believe The Body Shop used to sell them. I also remember a time where jeans had to have some sort of embroadiary on the leg, I had some lovely jeans which had pink Japanese patterned silk at the bottom. Then there was the Adidas popper trousers! Oh and the leggings...the brighter the better! I also remember having several pairs of lovely floral shorts.
6. Favourite games console and game?
I can't choose between the Sega Mega Drive and the Gameboy. Sega was awesome and it was actually my sisters but I was forever on it, playing games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Bomberman and Mickey Mouse. Then the Gameboy came along, I had the original but mine was not the normal grey colour it was blue. Then the Gameboy Colour was invented so I just had to upgrade to a snazzy purple version. The games I played on them were mostly Super Mario Brothers and the Rugrats!
7. What would you watch after school?
Transylvanian Petshop, Bodger and Badger, Sister Sister, Saved by the Bell, Kenan & Kell, The Secret World of Alex Mack, Clarissa Explains it All, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Round the Twist, Art Attack, Funhouse, Byker Grove, The Queens Nose, Children's Ward, Poddington Peas, The Family Ness, Penny Crayon, Oakey Doke and Live & Kicking. I was a 90's telly junkie!
8. Favourite book?
I was never really into books when growing up and I'm still not to be honest. But I do remember having quite a few secret dairies which had the padlock on the side (which thinking about it would open with any old key!) - and let's not forget my beloved sticker books. My mum used to buy me magazines like Smash Hits, Top of the Pops and TV Hits which regularly included free stickers of the "best bands around" and I used to collect these in my own album (pictured).
9. Favourite clothing store?
There wasn't a lot of choice for kids back in my day as far as I can remember. But we all remember Tammy Girl. I remember writing an entry in one of my many diaries about a Tammy haul which included a white t-shirt with had a pink hologram heart on the chest. I loved that t-shirt.
10. A 90's beauty memory?
I used to love Mateys bath soak as a kid! Who doesn't love the packaging?! Hair mascara and roll on glitter. My first mascara was the Maybelline Great Lash, it was probably the colourful packaging that sold me. I remember getting my best friend to do my make-up once, big mistake! I had blue eye-shadow up to my eye-brows, pink cheeks and pink lippy - it was not a good look!
I hope you have enjoyed this trip back into the 90's. Let me know what your memories of the 90's are.
I tag everyone who reads this and has their own blog or YouTube channel.
Muchos love
