The Baby Soft perfume is what made me laugh. Guess I shouldn't get mad at the kids when they practically bathe in the Axe sprays :lmao:

Wings and feathers have evolved into "layers". :lol:

I must be honest, I also owned the Sesame Street Fever album too. Thought it was sooo cool since it was a BIG album and not just a 45.

Had the pixie hair since my Mom let my Dad take me for a hair cut. He proceeded to take me with him to the barber who never cut girls hair before so he just hacked away at it. Think I'm still mad about that one :killingme
