I would wear that sweatshirt now if I still had it. …and I’m pretty sure my hair was in a banana clip. A real banana clip, yo.

I actually saw banana clips for sale at a store the other day! I hadn’t seen them since 1992 probably. I do hope they aren’t coming back. They turn any head of hair into an Insta-Mane.
