Underoos

Disclaimer: If you were born after 1985 none of this will make sense to you. I apologize.

So, ya'll remember Underoos, right? The underwear/tank top combo that was oh so popular amongst children in the 80's. I have been thinking about them alot lately and I want them. Again.

This could be such an awesome idea. I am seeing "vintage" or "reissued" t-shirts on everybody. Why is Fruit of the Loom not reissuing underoos? Although, in the 80's underoos were for kids and I want them in adult size.

If I remember correctly CT had He-Man underoos (which he wore while playing with Castle Greyskull and watching Star Wars on BetaMax). My favorite set was Wonder Woman. God, I loved her. Golden lasso and invisible plane? That bitch had it all. I used to run home from school to watch Wonder Woman re-runs in my underoos. I also made the golden headband from construction paper and glitter, but thats a whole other story. Maybe if they do re-issue I can pay a short visit to my childhood and make myself another glitter headband (this time I may even go for the golden cuffs).

What I am reading: I think I've read 1 or 2 chapters of The Known World.
What I am listening to: Rosie Thomas - It Don't Matter to the Sun. I am in such a sentimental mood lately. The New Year has me in a very reflective mood and I find myself wanting to, once again, fix things I've broken.
