1990s Women’s fashions
Top 90s brands included Calvin Klein, Guess Jeans, Tommy Hilfiger, and Polo.

1990s Movies
We had a tradition for several years when Bri worked shifts, that the kids would stay up until he finished work at 9pm on Friday.

And it justContinue reading “My Top Thirteen 1990”

I’ve always been keen on Norse Mythology, so it was great fun for me to dive into a bunch of the stories, especially the ones involving Loki. Such an awesome character, and theContinue reading “Release of Turn Back Time”
