When I was young I used to Snoopy - what a cool dog, although I was never obsessed with Snoopy, I still have a lot of Nostalgia for him.


I can remember in the early 80's some of my friends were obsessed with Pierot the Clown They had their bedrooms decorated with this depressing transexual type clown with a tear, personally I could never understand it myself, although Prince had a thing about him too...

I couldn't care a shit about Care Bears

Wasn't into Garfield

Loved watching The Flintstones and Smurfs...that was it though

I can remember my Dad bought me a Wombles Poster when I was really young and that hung on my bedroom wall..



Hello Kitty Not me, I am afraid...

More recently I do like Pucca!!!



Who, what, did/do you collect, love, hate?

Winnie the Pooh, ThunderBirds, Betty Boop, Pink Panther to name afew ...

When I was younger I collected Hot Wheels...I had cases and cases of them! I gave them to my cousins baby when he was born (wishing I would have saved them for my kids but I did't think I'd be able to have them).

I also collected Hello Kitty stuff and would never even think about using them. When I moved out on my own I threw it all away, but not before I used each thing once...

I made the mistake of one day mentioning that I liked unicorns one year and ever since that day my grandmother would buy me everything that had a unicorn on it (still does from time to time). I still have some of those things just because she is the one who gave them to me, even though I didn't care for them that much.

Now all I collect are rings (I LOVE them) and charms.

Barbie Dolls my Dear and now Bratz Dolls. I collect Dolls and Lunchboxes that'as my thing and Comics . Colored Vinyl. Watches, Candles, Hair things. Colored Bottles. I always collected alot of Different Things. I also love Platform shoes or Shoes and Feathery and Furry Things. If I showed you my Room and Bedroom and just my stuff you would Swear it's a Teenage Girl's House. Somebody called my House a Barbie Doll House. I kinda like Pink,Purply Motives and all.Oh, and Teddy Bears Rule also. I collect those also.

Hello Kitty stuff is wonderful also. Yes,I have some of that stuff also.

Well it was about toys but what the hell! Now I have a great collection of shoes, although they are more 'needs' athan collectibles... I do collect shoes in other forms too, ornaments etc... I collect ornamental-type fish too. I suppsoe I have a vast range of nice jewellery and now it seems plants are taking over my house...it is like a jungle!

At one time I used to Collect old 1960's Velvet Party dresses and smoking Jackets and Ciggarette holders and all. I really like Vintage things alot and Compacts. One store went out of business in New York being Zoot but well the Antique Boutique is still around and well in South Beach you have thos wonderful antique stores. So many things,I could go On and On but I just have to get together with Fans and talk. Art and table Books are other things like by Irving Penn,Mapplethorphe,Newton,Frida etc.. I like Diane Arbus. I like Poetry. I can go on and on as I like so many different things in the Art World and I Enjoy New experiences. Nudes being something Quite Exciting. I love Museums and Primitive African Art and also Avant Garde and Warhol and then I liked Baptiste and Harring and well just try to Consume,Inhale the Heartbeat,Energy of Things . It's so Exciting!

Natasha, do you talk as much as you write?


I travel alot so I collect many artefacts from all over the world, I have many paintings and pictures, but unfortunately not enough wall space to hang them up on...

I noticed before Christmas that I have a lot of coats and jackets too, Vintage 70's leather jackets and a 1940's llama coat my grandma gave me...I have alot of bags..and if I started to count the amount of books I had.. I guess I am a hoarder...

I have to fess up,I collect things mostly toys but video games too.

Ive also appeared on tv as a result of my toy collection , written a book and various magazine articles

Much love Pochacco

I thought of another collection I have...

I made the mistake of saying how I liked Christmas snow globes... now I have tons of them. EVERYONE wants to get me a snow globe now.

People sure pick up on the little things you mention when you say that you like something.

I had a friend who collected them and she said the tackier the better!

REDFEATHERS said:

I have quite a few your friend would LOVE then!

I used to collect scented erasers in the 80's I had loads and loads...My mum had a shop and she sold them, I bought one, lots every week and she always said "do not tell your father, he will go mad on you wasting your money!"

My money went into my Mums Till...!!!

I found them all recently - sadly most have lost their smell now, and was wondering whether to go show my dad them or not!

REDFEATHERS said:

I used to have a lot of those, too! I would never use them either... just like my hello kitty stuff. Those and scented pencils or scented pens.

I wouldn't tell your dad!

Let's see...

I used to have a major thing for the X-Men. That's kinda cooled off, tho if I ever see anything cool I'll still pick it up. I love Japanese anime, esp. the 'funny' kind like Project A-Ko and Sailor Moon. I have loved videogames all my life, and have owned several systems, starting with the Atari 2600 and working my way up over the years to a PS2.

I also seem to have a strange obsession with the things you get outta gumball machines. I used to have shelves full of all the little toys and stuff you could get :O

Hehe...anyone here collect those 'scratch 'n' sniff' stickers that were popular waaay back in the day (like late 70's, early 80's)??

Nikster said:

i had 2 sticker books full of 'em...woulda been about '83-'84. i think i'm going thru a pre-midlife crisis now cause i can't seem to get enough of SpongeBob Sqarepants!!! my new cult fave!!!

Nikster said:

I am also guilty of the sticker collections when I was little! Now they are silly to me... I mean, we get them, place them in a book and there they sit... well, except for the scratch 'n sniff ones...

I gotta admit..I collected them too. But instead of keeping them IN books...I stuck them ON books (and desks and walls and furniture and fellow students) . My teachers (and parents) were NOT amused

i used to collect garbage pale kids,baseball/basket ball cards,

and sometimes i actually ate the gum inside the cards that cement stick they were calling gum

Christopher said:

That stuff is as bad as Bazooka Joe!

Hey now...don't knock Bazooka Joe

After all...for only 450 comics, the batting glove can be YOURS


I always figured whoever owns Bazzoka also holds stock in Crest or something like that

AzureStar said:

That's so true! I have a bunch of PowerPuff Girls stuff for that very reason

AzureStar said:

Me too! I still have mine Did you also collect those friendship pin things? They were safety pins with different colored plastic beads on them and we used to put them on our shoes.

I've got a funny story, well, to me anyway, about PowerPuff Girls. My son had a friend of his from school stay over a few times over the holiday. My son is six and his friend is five. Anyway... when his mom dropped him off she said that this was his first time staying over anywhere and she wasn't sure how he would be, especially since he wouldn't bring his blankie. I didn't think much of it.

I set the tent up for the three kids in the living room and when it was time for bed and I was singing songs to them this boy asked me to get into his bag and get his doll. I did and there is a PowerPuff doll. I thought it was strange, but still didn't think too much about it.

The next day I talked to his mom and I made a comment about him wanting to get one of Haley's dolls blankets to have in the tent with him... so he had his PowerPuff Girl doll and a baby blanket from my daughter's doll. She laughed and said that he has a blankie that he sleeps with and refused to bring it for fear my son would make fun of him and spread it around school that he had a blankie that he slept with. I laughed and said, "But he had no problem or concerns about bringing a doll to sleep with?!" LoL.. anyway... I thought it was funny... kids!

applekisses said:

You know... I never wore those but I made a ton of them during class! I would make tons of them and then sell them during recess.
