RB Fans (80's Edition)

Post by **Watercolor** » Thu Dec 30, 2010 4:05 pm

I was wanting to see some of us fans from the vintage era. Classic pictures of us.
Here is me and my sister, Christmas when I was about 5 or 6. This was the biggest Christmas I ever had and I got a ton or Rainbow Brite items! (Puppy Brite, Baby Brite, Patty O'Green, Shy Violet, and much more!)

What are some of yours?

I'm pretty sure I've posted this photo before.

My brother and I, probably from around 1986?

This is the only picture of myself that I have on my computer. I'm two here, and I look like a pirate cause it was sometime after my surgery. I was born cross eyed and so that surgery corrected it. This pic always amuses me because I look like my favorite lunkhead in it (and I know no one's gonna get that reference XD) This would be sometime circa '89 I believe.

How sweet! Standing out in the cold with Rainbow Brite and your big brother. I'd say you were about four years old back then.

Wow, you hair style back then matches your avatar's style today

I know all about those evil eye patches. I wore one for years as a kid and for the same reason. My parents thought that wearing it would cure my lazy eye but it was too far off center. I finally had an operation when I was about 10 to correct that and I'm still just as cross-eyed now as I was before the operation. The only thing I got of of those patches was a lot of teasing as I grew up

Yup, that's the lunkhead I'm referring to. There are flashbacks in the anime that shows her around 5 years old, and we look like twins.

I think I wore my eye patch on and off until I was 4. The only thing I had after that was drifting in my one eye, which I still have.
