    Probably not entirely what you are after, but there might be some ideas in here. If not, good for a laugh and some entertaininment. (This was an email forward sent to me).

    You know you're a 90's kid if...

    You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE!"

    You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"

    You've worn skorts and felt stylish

    You yearned to be part of the Baby-Sitters club

    You use to love playing with your MY Little Pet Shop

    You know that "WHOA" comes from Joey from "Blossom" and that "How Rude!" comes from Stephanie from "Full House"

    You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

    You wore a ponytail on the side of your head and had fluffed bangs

    You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school.

    You wanted to change your name to "JEM" in kindergarten

    You remember reading "Goosebumps"

    You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off"

    You have pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.

    You took plastic cartoon lunch boxes to school.

    You remember the craze then the banning of slap bracelets and slam books.

    You still get the urge to say "NOT" after (almost) every sentence...Not...

    You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green Ranger were meant to be together.

    You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up"

    You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates

    You ever got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide

    You wore socks over leggings scrunched down

    " Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS ELEPHANTS ELEPHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCE" he jumped so high high high he touched the sky sky sky and he didnt come back back back til the forth of july ly ly he jumped so low ow ow he stumbed he's toe oe oe and thats the end end end of the elephants show ow ow

    You remember boom boxes vs. cd players

    You knew what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare"

    You remember Alf, the little brown alien from Melmac and Vicki the Robot from "MY Little Wonder"

    You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool

    You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

    You played and or collected "Pogs"

    You used to pretend to be a MIGHTY MORPHIN Power Ranger and you owned a Skip It

    You had at least one GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

    You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles

    You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes.

    You remember a time before the WB.

    You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

    You thought it would be so cool to be Alex Mack.

    You know the Macarena by heart.. LOL

    " Talk to the hand" ... enough said

    You thought Brain would finally take over the world

    ah the 90's were ace, I'm going to have a blast organising this party. Singstar sounds like an excellent plan, I will see if anyone has one. I'll be digging all my old 90's CD's out and I might go to the local op shop and see what they have too.

    I think I have some old x-files and bon jovi posters kicking about somewhere too, and I have bid on a few posters (silence of the lambs, dusk till dawn, etc)

    Hey does anyone else remember mood rings?

    Traveller - you're more than welcome to go through my CD & mp3 collection when I get it unpacked to see what I've got

    I used to have mood rings, have only just recently thrown a few out while packing.

    I was just thinking - if you like the Singstar idea you might be able to hire a PS console and microphones from the video shop along with the game if you can't find anyone to borrow it off. If you have trouble tracking down the Singstars '90s game, send me a PM and you can borrow it off me - I'll just post it to you and you can mail it back when you're done. Mine is compatible with PS2

    my outfit will be a floral shift dress, worn with tights and doc martin boots (which I currently wear most days, I am still stuck in the 90's really ) . Also too dark make-up and lots of chunky rings, and a choker necklace. I am so excited, I remember wearing similar things to discos in the 90's and feeling so cool and trendy!

    I had so totally forgotten about doc martens!!! I had a purple pair and wore them with black stockings and shorts.

    I don't know if it was fashionable everywhere, but certainly here - flannalette shirts - we used to wear them over t-shirts. Absolutely hideous but funny to think about.

    Weren't those poo-shooter T-shirts also popular in the 90's? My mum hated those and refused to let me wear them, but so many people had them.
