I love going through sites upon sites that remind you of the years you were growing up, but I always think they're missing a few things, or I would pick and choose some from one site and some from the others that would remind me of my childhood. So I thought since I am more than capable of gathering images and GIFs that I would try my hand at a trip down memory lane. I (Allicia) am an '86 baby and I thought what better way to get to know me, then to reminisce with me over the things I loved...maybe we might even share some commonalities and then if you are a future or current client and we're out on a shoot we will always have things to talk about! Note that this is not in chronological order but rathe the order that my brain got excited and made more suggestions so we have some late 80s, early mid 90s, early 2000s and back to the 90s!

So let the reminiscing begin! If during this walk down memory lane you remember something you love please share it in the comments I LOVE a good way back play back!

That feeling when your stomach sunk as the voice got distorted and you knew that when you pressed eject the tape would be stuck and you'd have to spend an hour getting your finger stuck winding back up the tape, only to have it happen again.

This was only an option if my grandma snuck it in because there was always some threat of contamination and it was just so much cooler than your mom packing you crackers and cheese
