Epic Win: Clairol True to Light Makeup Mirror

Nov. 3, 2009

clairol

Submitted and Written by Melanie H, a division of Procter & Gamble

Every 70’s and 80’s teenage girl had one of these! You could change the light setting to day, office, evening and home so you could see what your face would look like in different lighting.

Epic Win: Overboard

Nov. 3, 2009

Submitted by Marcy J, wife stealer

Goldie Hawn as an aristocratic socialite and Kurt Russell as what I believe Kurt Russell is like in real life — what’s not to love about this classic ’80s flick? Is it just me or is amnesia the most hilariously silly plot device of all time?

Epic Win: Playskool Definitely Dinosaurs

Nov. 2, 2009

Submitted and Written by Matt L, sharptooth

Wow! My first introduction to the vast world of dinosaur collectibles was the Playskool triceratops. Each of the deluxe dinosaurs came with your dino, at least one caveman, a saddle of some manner, and a book that usually depicted a story of how the dino and human met. Even the smaller dinosaurs at least came with a story book inside. There were dozens of these things by the end of their run and, indeed, you could play with them real rough!

Dinosaurs + toys = epic win. Duh. Though the presence of humans is deeply disconcerting.

Epic Win: Charlotte’s Web

Nov. 2, 2009

Submitted and Written by Travis S, [insert swine flu joke here]

I wasn’t sure if this submission was referring to the classic E. B. White novel or the animated musical it was adapted into. But both are wins, for sure. (We don’t talk about the 2006 live-action film.)

Epic Win: Mallrats

Nov. 1, 2009

Submitted by Stacey R, schooner

The second film from Kevin Smith’s “View Askewniverse” — and a spirited successor to his breakout hit ClerksMallrats was my favorite Kevin Smith film for a long time. Now, my favorite is Jersey Girl. KIDDING!

Worth noting: Mallrats featured an awesome Stan Lee cameo before Stan Lee cameos were lame.
