O.J. Simpson: Still Searching For the Real Killer?


This is probably the weirdest piece of 90s memorabilia I own. Some enterprising folks decided to combine the O.J. Simpson trial with pogs. "I'll trade you a white Ford Bronco for Kato Kaelin on Larry King!"




I remember being really interested in the trial and watching updates on the news every day while eating dinner. The verdict was announced while I was in school; since everyone was granted permission to watch it live, a tv was wheeled in to my 7th grade gym class. Of course this was way better than pretending I knew how to play softball, so it was the best day of gym class ever. When we heard O.J. was deemed not guilty, one girl loudly stated "I knew it!

Found Memories: Geocities

Remember Geocities? Of course you do! Unless you're too young to know of its awesomeness and are just here in hopes of finding inspiration for your trendy early 90s wardrobe.

Beverly Hills, 90210 Trading Cards: #1 Rock 'n' Roll High School

Last Christmas I received the entire set of Beverly Hills, 90210 trading cards. Schwing! I'll be scanning and sharing them periodically.

The title of this card is pretty lame though. "Rock 'n' Roll High School"? Having young people & a character like Dylan instantly makes it rockin' I guess
