Throwback Thursday: o.b.

I was having dinner with some girlfriends on Sunday and we started talking about Family Life education in elementary schools (sex ed) and the conversation turned ever so slightly to how we learned to use tampons, which led in a roundabout way to me singing the jingle for o.b. tampons – you know, the ones [...]

Throwback Thursday: Guiding Light

Thinking a lot about my Grandma today, so this throwback is for her.

Throwback Thursday: If it Isn’t Love – The Video

This is a throwback to the video, not the song – though I do love the song. New Edition pioneered the resurgence of “Group Moves” paving the oh-so-cheesy way for the likes of other boys bands like NKOTB and Backstreet Boys. I knew all of the moves in the video, and can do it almost [...]

Throwback Thursday: Toy Soldiers (the song not the movie)

Martika’s Toy Soldiers was a hit in the ’80′s. A song about a girl who gets her heart broken by a boy who has broken many other hearts before hers. Or was that really what the song was about? Year later it was rumored that the song was about drug addiction – that Martika had [...]

Throwback Thursday: China Beach

I used to love this show! Dana’s Delaney resurgence to the small screen reminded me of how much I enjoyed watching China Beach. The imdb plot summary describes it as “A drama series set at an American base during the Vietnam War. Rather than focusing on the battle scenes that made up most other portrayals [...]

Throwback Thursday: Savannah Smiles

While I’m throwing back to movies, do you remember this one? I think I saw it once but I do believe I liked it a lot since I’ve always remembered it. Especially when she tells the bedtime story (the 2nd video).

Throwback Thursday: D.A.R.Y.L.

Data Analyzing Robot Youth Lifeform. The youtube description said it best – “you watched this movie. and you loved it.”

Throwback Thursday: That’s What Friends Are For

I  singing in the shower (great acoustics, ya know). I sing my little heart out, belting out a line of two from a song, then the chorus, then maybe I’ll hum a bit because I don’t remember all of the words, then I move on to another song.  That’s my typical pattern: two lines, chorus, [...]

Throwback Thursday: Love On a Two Way Street

I had a hard time with this one. I was quite a fan of Stacy Lattisaw, and used to sing “With You” into the hairbrush to my audience one (myself in the mirror). In the end, “Love on a Two Way Street” won out, but it should be noted that also in the running (of [...]

Throwback Thursday: The Nescafe Love Story

When I first started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer the television series. I took one look at Rupert Giles and thought, “I know him from somewhere.” It nagged at me for days until one night when I was going to bed it hit me – the coffee love story guy! I was telling a co-worker [...]
