Why I am happy to be a child of the 90s Reason #1 Dreamphone

My next few blog posts are going to be reasons I am glad to be a child of one of the most bizarre decades. The 90s.

I can't emphasize enough how much I loved the boardgame Dreamphone. It was pure joy.


I didn't actually own it.(my mom probably thought it wasn't ok for my 8 year old self to be calling "hunks" and figuring out they mystery of who my destined lover was) However, my babysitter's daughter had it (score) and when I would go over there, you best believe we were calling up some hotties on our Dreamphone.

It was a game of suspense as you figured out by the clues of your "friends" on the phone or the boys themselves who had a crush on you.

The boys would share helpful clues such as:
"He'll eat almost anything...except pizza" (ok, no pizza dates. big deal)
" He has fun wherever he goes...except the movies" (Movies...waste of time?)

And then sometimes your girl friend would call and share
"I just heard...it's not Gary" (Crap..who is it! Anticipation!)

The total letdown was when you would call one of the guys and they would say "I know who it is but I'm not telling. haha"
Ohhh...it just made you want to punch something! Tell me DREAM PHONE. TELL ME MY FATE!

I personally always hoped it would be Dan to tell me the winning words "You're right. I like you!"



Although I wasn't too picky, as long as I didn't get Jason.



What a dweeb!

The Bachelor

I can't say I'm a fan of The Bachelor. Or The Bachelorette for that matter. However, with all of the hype for this season's Bachelor, I decided to tune in. After watching the first half of this season's premiere episode, I decided my evenings will no longer be spent at ABC and here are the reasons why.

1. The hype was because Brad Womack had been a contestant on The Bachelor before and didn't choose anyone. The whole first half of the episode was dedicated to how he was a "changed man". It was very deep and they even interviewed his therapist (unnecessary) Ok, so he didn't want to marry those two girls, big deal. Isn't it better that he didn't marry them than divorce them quickly after? Or have another Jake and Vienna showdown? (That just got old) Anyway, I saw a ring on both of their hands so... obviously things worked out for them.

2. My biggest peeve with this show is that at least one of the girls HAS to think, "you know, he isn't really my type" but they never do. I don't get that? Oh what we do for fame.

3. Their first impressions out of the limo are so dumb! What was with the girl who summoned him to the car. I guess he'll remember who she is, but first impressions are everything. Sometimes.

4. You can't honestly tell me he wanted to keep vampire girl?



5. I'd rather be watching Gossip Girl.



What the Lilly?

Well, to all you Bachelor friends, enjoy your Monday nights with Brad Womack. You can catch me on the Upper East Side.

XOXO
