Chillin' with her peeps in a Spiegel catalong from 1972:

And a great blogspot from Planet of the Dolls telling you all about her.

This isn't one of the ones that I owned.

I looooved my Trapper Keepers, even when a cracked plastic corner might shred my forearm.

At the beginning of every school year --"This is the year I finally keep my stuff organized! Yes!"

Yeah, I have ADHD and, uh, not so much, but man it felt good getting it all set up.

obligatory - not my pee chee

It was a fun thing to do to draw on the folder accentuating what was already drawn there, as in the pic.

I preferred to keep mine undecorated.

Here's a link showing the "useful information" inside.

They came in other colors but "goldenrod" was the gold standard. Ba dum tiss.

Also not the one from my childhood.

The side panels had comics on them too. See link for more pics.

This one isn't mine from my childhood.

An ear worm definition: a song that gets stuck in your head.

Lots of vintge decor.

It looks unlived in, though, is my only negative.

I've been seeing an ugly version at Home Depot lately. Tacky then, tacky now, but definitely brought back memories.

I consider this vintage because it's a technique.

You could walk into a salon and ask for feathered hair and the stylist would know what to do. You can't today, unless the stylist is older or has a penchant for retro styles.

I remember in the 90s I couldn't remember the new word for the style I liked and said, "feathered". The two stylists in the shop had no idea how to do that. "Layered". That was the word. Feathering was out and layering was in.

Free, full episodes of Benson.

If you look, you can find other shows free, with full episodes, not just clips, and often in order.

I had one of these in the bathroom and would listen to the radio while I curled my hair.

I spent so many hours willing one of these to move faster.

Perfect except for one flaw--when the power goes out before you wake, you will wake late.

I just picked this up off ebay for nostalgia.

I don't like light at night and snooze is my downfall.

Fabulous archive!
