Jelly bellies -they are back from our youth and here to stay! I honestly don’t know how I feel about them. I see them and I wanna laugh, sigh and cry all at the same time. It seems so strange seeing a grown man or woman wearing plastic sandals. I guess if FAT clothing stores are selling them, then they must be cool.

What are your thoughts on this revival?

Yeah Liv, those Star Wars fan boys are such geeks. Give me Blade Runner any day... or one of these authentic LED umbrellas seen on the streets of Los Angeles circa 2019!!! Actually a date with the 1982 version of Sean Young would be better. Sigh...

Star Wars just got a little bit geekier! Who ever thought that was possible?? There are 20 hats to be collected each representing a character from the longest and most boring movies EVER! Apologies to the boys sitting around me! . . . Please don’t hurt me! Japanese company New Era Fits are the creators of this gangster/nerd head wear. I cant wait to see what dorky things they put out next!
