Because we want Peep to take over the world, we sell some of our stuff to shops all OVAH.
So, check it out. We had a wholesale order for a bunch of scarves, and here they are, just finished.

Isn’t my bedspread cute?

We also print and cut our own hangtags, mostly because we really enjoy using the paper cutter.

And then we pack everything up all nice and snug and get it ready to be shined up and shipped out all over the world (or shipped out, at any rate).

Aren’t my new sneakers cute?

That’s the kind of super great package you’d get from us if you opened a wholesale account. Want one? Huh? Huh?

Love.

The Lost Boys. Is a terrible movie. It really really blows, and it’s kind of funny, because it’s considered by a lot of people to be really clever. But, it sucks. Which is why it’s no surprise that Sally and I own a copy.
And it’s not like it’s any surprise to anyone that the fashion would be really bad (it was the 80s, after all), but this is a different kind of bad fashion from other 80s movies. See, Molly Ringwald had this awful salmon-colored hospital smock thing over a brown skirt and boots on in The Breakfast Club. And of course, there was Bender’s fifteen layers, and that bandana he tied around his leg. But, that seems like something you would’ve walked into a classroom in 1985 and actually seen people wearing. And, you obviously can’t forget Andie’s just completely heinous prom dress in Pretty in Pink, but that was less about the fact that it was the 80s than it was about the fact that Andie clearly wasn’t a good fashion designer. If you check out the other prom dresses at that prom, with the poofy sleeves, and the miles and miles of emerald green satin, you’ll get a better idea of an 80s prom dress. I had a Barbie paper doll book that my mom got me in probably 1988 and it had Barbie and Ken getting ready for the prom. It was awesome. One of the dresses was like a mermaid costume, but it was a dress! And Ken had two tuxedos – a black one and a white one. And even then, I would not put him in a white tuxedo, because I knew it was cheesy. But, I loved the prom dresses. They were poofy and insane, but … it was 1988. Even when you’re six, you know what cool people wear. And cool people wore poofy prom dresses.
But, see, The Lost Boys wardrobe department was just a whole different kind of awful. And because I just know that there are people out there who are crying foul and angrily shaking their fists at me, all, “The Lost Boys is the best movie EVER and I’ve derived ALL of my fashion sense from Corey Haim!”, I’ve put together a list. Because We Like Lists (Inc.).

Now, there are a few exemptions. Michael and Sam’s mother, for example. I mean, she did wear a whole bunch of shapeless, floor-length sack dress type deals, but it wasn’t so over-the-top that it would be considered worse than the worst.
Also exempt is Michael. I mean, he pretty much wore a grey t-shirt and a pair of jeans (un-embellished, un-ripped, and only slightly unflattering in their totally taperedness) for the whole movie. Even passable by today’s standards. Of course, there were the constantly crooked and slightly feminine sunglasses:
