Everyone loves a good throwback, so today I am bringing to you 10 things that you thought were cool 10 years ago. Now don't pretend that you weren't into these things or that you didn't own one in every color, we know you did.
First up on the throwback list is my possibly my personal favorite, the Juicy Couture matching tracksuit.
Comfort and style all in one, you get bonus points if you had "juicy" written across the butt. I felt so cool when I got my first matching track suit. However, I was not in the elite group of Juicy wearers; I had a knock-off version of this. What truly made the tracksuit was the little "J" hanging on the zipper and if you didn't have that then it was like, "what is that girl wearing?" If you had the "J," then you, girl, were winning.
Second up is the first video iPod! This was a huge deal, massive even. Steve Jobs had no idea that he was creating a whole new world.
Now, I was not allowed to have this one either, but both of my parents had one and I were obsessed. This little brick could hold a music video or two and maybe, just maybe, an episode of your favorite TV show. Just think about the fact that the iPhone didn't even exist 10 years ago... Let that sink in, we were all using our Razors.
Third on the list of throwbacks is Carrie Underwood. Carrie was my idol. She got her start on American Idol during the first season and really just made that show into all things good. Carrie was the reason that I had dreams of being on that show and competing. Wow, I heard one of her songs yesterday while at dinner; the restaurant had to have been playing their early 2000s throwback playlist.
Following Carrie we have Destiny's Child. They were amazing and I refuse to believe that it was truly a breakup. Beyonce just went solo--the other two would still be in it if that hadn't happened. However, I was OK with the new star that was produced from the break (not breakup).
This next one just makes me laugh because I totally had them and my parents totally hated them. Bratz Dolls, the slutty version of Barbie. With huge heads and tiny bodies, I am not sure why I thought they were cool. These dolls' feet would pop off... that is weird! It wasn't just our parents who were against these dolls, the American Psychological Association also worried for our little developing minds.
The last little gem that I will leave you with is I show that I was obsessed with, Zoey 101. If you didn't watch it, well it was the best thing ever and you missed out. With Brittany Spears little sister Jamie Lee Spears as the lead, this show was sure to be a hit. Living on the beach at a boarding school was my dream. I was so ready to be shipped off to go live and attend PCA (Pacific Coast Academy). Too bad the show ended because Jaime Lee got pregnant.
I hope you enjoyed this little walk down memory lane! What are some things that you thought were so cool 10 years ago that you might be a little embarrassed by now?
