There was no mention of carbs being an issue – startch was our friend. It was our fuel and A OKAY! In the 90s fat was the culprit and carbs were totally fine. Remember how there was a huge diet craze where people were screaming out things like “low-fat cream cheese” and “low fat mayo”!? No one said a word about carbs – we were encouraged to eat pretzels and bagels and pasta and all kinds of GLORIOUS carbs.  Remember when being on a diet meant you could eat like 5 plain bagels a day as long as the cream cheese was low fat?!

Than that bitch Atkins had to come along and ruin it for all of us. (Sob) Why can’t we just think it is the fat in the food we eat that are the problem!? Why did we have to learn the aweful truth? Ignorance is bliss. I want to go back. I don’t want to know the truth.

Someone bring me a damn bagel….with low fat cream cheese of course, I AM on a diet you know.

Okay at the risk of repeating the navigation bar too much  – OMG Remember when this Debbie Gibson was so huge? Did you also have a copy of the queer hat she always used to wear?  Seriously, rock the Electric Youth cologne, the matching black hat that looked eerily similar to the one Charlie Chaplin wore, and belt out the words to Electric Youth or Lost in His Eyes and BAM you have a snapshot of my preteen years. The only thing I am missing now is my Tiffany poster. Damn I bet those girls got into some SERIOUS drugs at some point. Well “Debbie” and Tiff did the drugs…”Deborah” is too sophisticated.

So since I can’t recapture my youth, I can at least smell it. I am not sure if it is really “electric” but if you ask me, any perfume with hot pink spiral pump shape, neon green writing and a price point of $11.00  is a MUST HAVE.
