I had almost all of those things. And man did I think I was cute in my Jersey housewife velour track suit. I even wore it to school like it was an appropriate outfit choice when not working out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with/page/2#post-700464 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:35:37 +0000 kjpugs 700464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS... here I am (with my little sis) rocking a Kirsten dress when I was probably far too old to do so... </p> [attach=2870/13/mkypne.448x600.photo-22.JPG] [attach=2870/13/mkypnf.438x600.kirsten.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with/page/2#post-700454 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 19:30:02 +0000 kjpugs 700454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA, 12 of them.

Apparently I was a predictable late 80's/90's kid. It'll be easier to list what I didn't have...</p> <p>-Pottery barn furniture. I didn't even know that PB existed until maybe a decade ago.<br /> -Juicy track suits. I rocked velour tracksuits pretty regularly but they weren't JC.<br /> -Baby G watch. Never even heard of it.<br /> -Princess canopy bed.<br /> -Playmobil dollhouse. I did have Barbies dream house, though.<br /> -Hard candy nail polish. Wet 'n Wild was my jam. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with/page/2#post-700336 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:44:08 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 700336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had ALL of those except for:<br /> Baby g watch<br /> pottery barn stuff<br /> My own phone line (though I did have my own phone)<br /> Tv in my room </p> <p>Everything else I totally had at one point!

A lot of my friends had other stuff on the list that my parents never even entertained the thought of getting me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-700088 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:28:30 +0000 BananaPancakes 700088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm too old for this list, I think, and I'm an early 80s baby. The only thing I coveted was the American Girl doll, but we were way too poor for a $100 doll. I don't think they were even popular in my area until I was in 5th grade, anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-700070 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:20:44 +0000 LaineysMom 700070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FancyGem: I was too young to really play.. I just remember going up to the tv (2 inches away) and killing all the ducks. Haha. I was happy when they brought it back with the wii. Sega was the only console we didn't have! Sonic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699985 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:52:12 +0000 sunny 699985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the pencil case and a Nintendo!

I liked Sega more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699961 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:48:52 +0000 Emsmems 699961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: agreed, strangely grouped for sure! I only had an American Girl and a Dear Diary. I was the 4th kid, so a lot of my stuff was had me downs and there was NO way my parents would buy a lot of that stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699934 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:40:44 +0000 FancyGem 699934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 6.

The only games I remember are duck hunt and some racing game where you used a pad. Super Nintendo was way cooler. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699500 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:50:40 +0000 Freckles 699500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I laughed at the BARF too! I felt it applied to most of the items, anyway. Does it seem like things get girlier, the younger you get in the generations? </p> <p>I'm actually surprised Nintendo was on the GenY list...it should really be for GenX! I'm a late genX and had SNES. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699476 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:45:26 +0000 LaineysMom 699476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lindseykaye: I think they're supposed to be in chronological order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699464 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:41:48 +0000 pinkcupcake 699464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Checkers: @Cherrybee: I'm early '80s too and I thought I would be considered Gen Y but looking at that list, think I might be closer to the tail end of X. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699444 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:35:51 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 699444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the BARF for the Tiffany bracelet because that is exactly how I felt about them bsck then. </p> <p>Gen Y- what years? I don't some of those items cracking the cool list where I lived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699418 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:29:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 699418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Nintendo, fancy pencil case, Dear Diary, TV in my room, &amp; phone line (but no answering machine) </p> <p>I wanted an American Doll sooo bad, but never got it. I already plan on getting my LO one if she wishes. It was something I was so jealous of my friends having! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699417 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:29:51 +0000 mediagirl 699417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome. I never had the big fancy toys but I did have a Nintendo! I was in High School when Baby G watches came out and bought myself one. I also had a baby pink Razr phone and the top left fake Prada bag (bought on Ebay).</p> <p>I loved Daria. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699412 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:29:24 +0000 littlebug 699412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 - Nintendo, American Girl doll, and the tricked-out pencil case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699389 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 13:25:48 +0000 lindseykaye 699389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like I had quite a few of these? I had an American Girl doll (that I saved my allowance FOREVER to buy), a Dear Diary (I think it was a knockoff?), a TV in my bedroom, my own phone line and answering machine (my line was also the internet line - a thing of the past for sure), and we had a nintendo.</p> <p>I agree with the commenter who said that GellyRoll pens should be included on the list!</p> <p>I was born in '85 but I still feel like the list was strangely spaced. Like, Dear Diary/canopy bed and Juicy tracksuits/Uggs are not of the same generation for me at all. But I guess one was popular when I was in elementary school, the others popular when I was in high school? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/20-status-symbols-generation-y-girls-grew-up-with#post-699267 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:56:29 +0000 MrsKoala 699267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only had two! I had the Kirsten American Girl Doll and a Nintendo (shared among the 4 of us siblings). I'm on the cusp of Generation Y so I just consider myself as X. </p>
