My Awesome Sticker Collection, Part 1

051208stickercollection1.jpgOK so the long Lisa Frank is awesome because it has like everything Lisa Frank is known for and incorporates almost all of the common 80’s sticker themes: hamburgers, unicorns, ice cream, teddy bears, pizza, candy, cherries, and rainbows.Mystiks are awesome because they make swooshy colors when you press on them BUT DON”T PRESS TO HARD!Hamburgers and Coke-a-cola and other 50’s Americana made subtle appearances in 1980’s stickers, I don’t know why.Ark Animals were very hard to find unless you went to a big city like Minneapolis. I didn’t get these ’til I was 30Toots are the most awesome because they just are. These dinosaurs are gorgeous and profoundly influenced my sense of design.

    Oh! Thanks so much for the memories. I had every one of those stickers.
    Now I’m wondering where the hell they are. I got in huge trouble in 5th grade for removing all of my mothers photos from an album to use it as my sticker book. Oops, i’d be pissed now too. Do you remember the sparkly ones that were like little bald colorful figures? They said I’m extavagant! I’m sexy! I’m devilish! So cool

    Seriously, it’s entirely too much to explain how many memories come flooding back just looking at those stickers. All those girls that had the most amazing sticker collections, and hose I envied them. All the boys and some of the mean girls that taunted me… I didn’t care, I just kept on collecting them. Then one day, I stopped. The coincidence of reading this today is just this afternoon I was in Hallmark and I considered buying some fuzzy lady bugs… hilarious.

    Nicholas, you and I are of the same cloth, expect I actually bought those ladybug stickers along with some glitter hearts. Man, I miss my sticker collection. Curse my jaded, spiteful early twenties!!

    I so hear you - my 80s sticker collection is still one of my true prized belongings. I would have traded one of my borthers for a strip of Toots stickers and scratch and sniff… forget it!

    Great blog!
