Run My Baby Run

So in one of my previous blogs I mentioned the "Run Baby Run" video. I have I mentioned it before that blog? I can't remember.

Forgive me as I gush over this video. I love it! It's one of my favorite Garbage ones. Shirley looks so pretty in it. There is this one shot of her with a bandanna over her mouth and you can just focus on her gorgeous lime green wide set eyes. The best part is when she is eating fries and the scene when she is shoplifting. She wears some pretty green glittery high heels in the video. Wearing high heels brings her closer to the gods. I want some shoes like that, but in a different color like red or black. I guess I could make my own imitation shoes. :P LOL!

My mom makes fun of me when I watch that video because I watch it with my face cupped in my hands.

I remember the first time I watched that video. I had a wacky dream about Shirley helping me move. She was wearing this navy blue outfit and those shoes from the video. They were a different colors they were green, blue and purple.

The origin of my pikachu

Since I have been taking a lot of pictures of my stuffed pikachu. I thought I should tell the story of how I got it. The day before I got it I had gone to the mall and Pokémon where everywhere. This was back in 1999, so they were still really popular. After going to the mall I went to Target and I saw the cutest stuffed pikachu, but I didn't have enough money for it. The next day my dad took me shopping for a bunch of different things I got a new radio, Pokémon school supplies and the stuffed pikachu. But the one reason I really remember the day I got it was because there were a lot of teen girls at the Target waiting to meet the boy band MDO.

When I first got the pikachu I couldn't stop playing with it. I use to put it on my radio. I like watching tv with it. At first we use to watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire? It's well traveled too. Its been to my grandmas house (smuggled in a backpack) and on my 2 family vacations to Laughlin and Las Vegas.

I love dressing it up. Ive dressed it up in a bowtie, top hat, baby bib, pink hair, necklaces, and a chain.

Vintage Simpsons Merchandise

Ever since I can remember it The Simpsons has been popular and had varying degrees of merchandise. There is some other vintage merchandise that I have/had a purple Simpsons backpack with Homer and Bart on it, I have also seen a teal colored one with Lisa and Bart on it. I still have the backpack. A color your own poster set. You know those sets that come with 2 uncolored pictures of something and you get a pack of markers or crayons to color it. When I had got the set I had used up the little markers that came with it so fast. I threw the set away because I accidentally spilled food on them. Burger King camping promo toys I have the Lisa one I forgot I had it for a while because I couldn't find it for 2 years after I moved. None of the items mentioned in the blog are for sale.


The Simpsons Pencil Tin

It's metal and it's a little rusty. I don't remember exactly when I got it, but I'll say between 91 and 92. It came with three items inside; a Bart pencil, a ruler and something else I forget. As you can see since this is an earlier Simpsons item Lisa's clothes aren't the right color on the front she has red pearls and on the back she is wearing a blue dress. Bart is depicted with a blue shirt. I tried to get a picture/scan of the pencil but it didn't come out.

Simpsons Puffy Stickers

I forget when I got these too, but the are vintage pre-1993 for sure. They aren't in the package because I decided to put them in my sticker album. I have no idea if there were more than the ones I have in the album. I know I was pretty small when I got them because I couldn't read some of the words in the little dialogue balloons.

Since this is a scan from my sticker album you will see some non-Simpsons stickers like the poinsettia one, the rodeo one, the Dodger koala (who I can find no information on, but that's another blog for another time), and the Chef one. He use to be a mascot for Kid Cuisine.



The funny thing about the pencil tin and the stickers is that I cannot find them listed on the Simpsons collectors site.
