Kids born in 2000 are (almost) turning 23. Let that sink in for a minute. The existential crisis of realizing how illegally fast time flies is unparalleled and it gets more severe as we approach the New Year.

The past has become this parallel reality with most things now forgotten. But memory is a powerful thing and thanks to this nostalgic Facebook page “Do You Remember When,” it brings back to life the most nostalgic, weird, and hilarious moments, items, games, TV commercials, and people swept away in history.

“We are here to remember the past, from the movies, TV shows, commercials, games, or items we bought,” reads the page’s description. With a whopping 3M followers, it’s fair to say it is doing a good job, so pull your seat closer and enjoy a walk down memory lane!

I remember my younger sisters having these. The dolls were heavy cardboard, and the clothes were basically paper, and most of the time they had to be cut out with a scissors. They didn't last long because if the clothes got wet, they would slowly disintegrate.

We've all heard of a saying that history repeats itself. We can debate on whether it’s true or not, but it’s hard to ignore our fascination with the past. One of the inseparable emotions attached to the ways we envision the past and understand ourselves in the present is a sense of nostalgia. This powerful emotion evokes a feeling of longing for something that has long gone, a fondness for memories, and a yearning for simpler times.

The idea of nostalgia has grown in popularity, and it’s used to evoke a certain feeling of comfort and familiarity. It can be deeply personal, but also shared in a way that it connects people to their pasts and creates a sense of community bonded by shared experiences.

It can be used in advertising, storytelling, filmmaking and many other areas. Fashion is particularly saturated with sentimental homages as trends defy time and come back to life again and again. The renaissance of Y2K style is a great example with fashionistas rocking choker necklaces, cargo pants, and big hair claw clips, among many other things.

Fashion experts say it’s absolutely logical because fashion trends come back in cycles. "Fashion tends to work in 30-year cycles," explains Heather Newberger, a freelance fashion stylist and author of "How to Date Your Wardrobe.

"In the late '90s and '00s, many of the most popular trends were actually just reimagined versions of styles from the '60s and '70s. The bell-bottom craze fed into the rise of flared jeans, mod-style hats into bucket hats and so on. "What we’re seeing on runways today falls right in that cycle. While we reimagined the '60s and '70s in the '90s and '00s, today we’re seeing Gen Z reconceptualize those looks," Newberger said.

They were 'banned' (really they just stop showing the cartoons) because they were characters created from racist tropes. Many of the characters from Looney Toons and Hanna Barbara were extremely racist and stereotypes. They weren't part of 'our culture' or 'our history' - they were blatant examples of systemic racism in the USA. And to those who said, 'They were just cartoons!' - yes, just cartoons, so why do you miss them or need them?

She has burn scars over 75% her body from a childhood accident. When she was coming up with this character, she had a close friend who worked in costumes design her an outfit that was as revealing as possible without showing her scars. That's how her iconic dress was designed!
