Back to my ra-ra-roots
When I was young and things were rad, I once was lucky enough to attend the royal melbourne show. Everyone knows that the only good things about the show are the llamas and the showbags, and not only were both plentiful, but in the glory days of my youth the bounty of a good showbag cost only a couple of dollars. Inflation is a cruel thing.
My absolute pride and joy was a Shera, Princess of Power showbag that I purchased containing a set of cuffs, a sword and her magical headress. Never ever will I forget how much I adored the costume in that showbag, and so it was with delight that I discovered He Man and the other masters of the universe reinvented for the new millenium, set for a night saving the world donned in fresh kicks and the latest high street fashions.
Heroes then, hipsters now. And Skeletor – just as endearing as ever. Looks eerily like an old manager of mine. Fortunately, it seems like they are in the process making the movie, so we kids of the 80s can be reacquainted once more. Hurry up, I say.
Thank you yet again, NFG.
