My older sister Nicole and I shared a bedroom when we were growing up; Amanda always had her own room because neither of us got along with her (don’t feel bad for her – she was a meanie head). For the most part, Nicole and I lived in harmony. Or at least, that’s the way I remember it. I can’t be too sure, because Amanda was so much of a brat, that any fights Nicole and I had must have paled in comparison to the torture she put us through. Now that we’re adults, Amanda and I are super close and get along just fine. But seriously…she was the absolute worst when we were kids, and she knows it. Amanda, I know you’re reading this – and you’re probably saying, “I know, right?!”

Anyway, Nicole and I had to compromise when it came to decorating our room. We were children of the 80s and 90s, so we went through a few predictable phases. New Kids On The Block, Winnie The Pooh, and before the teeny-bopper wave hit us in full force (Tiger Beat and Bop, anyone?) , we also had cows and sunflowers. That’s right – cows and sunflowers. How can you have one without the other? And if it’s a cow wearing a sunflower – say, on a Blossom style hat? JACKPOT.

The fact that I’m wearing a horse dress in a field of sunflowers made me think of that odd combination, even if horses and cows are not the same. And furthermore, something about the sunflowers made me want to put my sunglasses on them. As soon as I gave in to the impulse, I realized why: I also used to have a dancing flower who had shades. Considering how many responses the instagram version of the last pic got, I think some of you know what I’m talking about. Cows, sunflowers, and dancing flowers with sunglasses. If that doesn’t remind you of the 90s, I don’t know what will. 

Okay, maybe a lot of other things.
