I had that trapper keeper, the one with the unicorns with lollipop tails. And the rockinghorse people in graham cracker jails.

Oh, hello childhood. I don't know if the nausea I'm experiencing is because the colours are blowing my mind or if I'm dizzy from long-repressed adolescent angst.

@Don't Get It Twisted: At school we identify "adult learners" as students above the median age range who generally have roller bags & Lisa Frank folders. They are my favorite people in the whole world.

Man, just the other night hub and I were discussing all the things from our childhood we'd like to bring back for our baby. Lisa Frank stickers were one of mine, and he thought of trapper keepers.

I would also like to bring back light brite, spyrographs, and this cool Barbie toy I used to have - it was a beach set, complete with umbrella, bar and little chairs that looked like coconuts. The bar doubled as an ice shaver, and the little coconut chairs could be served as glasses. It came with packs of kool aid so you could shave the ice, add kool aid and make sno cones. It was awesomeness.

@kaiwhakamarie: Lite Brites are still around, or at least I believe I've seen them in a toy store recently. I bet they're not as cool as they used to be.

Sr. Zinha has been trying to find me an old Spirograph for YEARS. I have been pining for one forever. It was one of the few trendy toys I ever owned as a po' kid. LOVED IT.

Like others posting (whom I would reply to, but for some reason I can't reply to anything right now), Lisa Frank was too expensive for me to buy a glut of it, so I only had one or two little things. One was an eraser with a white tiger on it, and i SCRIMPED with that eraser. I mean, unless I wrote 2+2=Vagina, or something totally ridiculous and embarrassing, I wasn't going to erase it.

The other day, I realized I was wearing what Lisa Frank would wear to the gym - purple shorts and a fuschia tank top. But hell, you can look like an 8 year old at the gym.

Um, please see my name. Is it not obvious that I am hugely inspired by Lisa Frank, every day, in everything I do?

Reminds me of the amazing Asher Sarlin comic:

OH DEAR GOD.

Put Lisa Frank into the Google image search and you will find even more eye-popping goodness.

Excuse me while I go do a j and come back to be dazzled.

@Cafezinha: not afraid to get servicey on your ass.: Ha, the phrase "do a j" combined with the Lisa Frank reference is causing some pretty interesting Lebowski crosstalk in my brain.

I absolutely ABHORRED Lisa Frank stuff when it was hot way back in 2nd grade. Some of this was due to the fact that I was a weird kid who liked to go against what was popular, and part was because if I looked at anything that colorful and saccharine-sweet for too long, I'd get a pounding headache.

Though I do remember being impressed when I read in my American Girl Magazine that Lisa Frank was a real woman.

@hydrogen_jukebox: I wasn't a big Lisa Frank fan either, but I do remember the Lisa Frank article from American Girl magazine. I was also impressed that she was a real woman!

@hydrogen_jukebox: What an American Girl smash that would have been. "Meet Lisa Frank." "Lisa Frank Learns a Lesson"...

When I was in elementary school, I mixed up Lisa Frank and Anne Frank. I went up to the librarian and asked for the Diary of Lisa Frank. EMBARRASSING.
