18 Again!

This one's for sale. I thought maybe there would be a pop cultural irony sorta revival with making an "18 Again!" button. That maybe some hipster would buy it, pin it to their fanny pack and clumsily run off in their water shoes to meet up with their buddies at the nearest watering hole. Ha, I didn't realize til I ended that sentence that I said "water" twice. Just insert another snappy term for a bar (alcohol joint).

In Hollywood's grand tradition of running out of ideas, they decided to remake "18 Again!" for the 2000s (I guess) as "17 Again!" (or its alternate title, "I Want My 17 Dollars Back"). They had then, hot and now (no, not the fast food chain with olive burgers, ew) teen heartthrob, Zac Efron (fresh off "High School Musical" hell) playing the Charlie Schlatter role. Would you believe that Matthew Perry (one of those "Friends" douchebags) is in the George Burns role? My, have things changed since 1988.

Yet another Dickies reference (what a co-inky-dink!), be sure to look for them playing "You Drive Me Ape" in a club scene in "18 Again!". I never saw "17 Again!", so I'm not sure who (if they have one) their counterpart is.

As far as creating this pin's artwork goes, it was pretty simple to alter the poster image for a circle shape.

Upon my little research for this entry, I found this video of these guys who REALLY like the food from "Hot'n'Now".

Breaking Away

"Breaking Away" has been one of my favorite movies since middle school. It's very real and believable. I had a crush on Jackie Earle Haley for years after seeing him portray "Moocher". Apparently he reprised the role on the tv series version of the movie which I've never seen.

I'm selling this button on eBay for the time being. If you are interested in it, send me a message. Hopefully soon we're going to be adding my buttons to our online store called Kick Bright Zine Shop.

I've been making buttons since 2002 and have been collecting a little before that. I just wanted to display my favorite bands and movies without having to wear a print shirt. I definitely don't have anything against those, I just have so few that fit me well. I've never been a big basic t-shirt fan.

This blog will be about my making, collecting and selling of buttons.

I already have another blog here called "Netflix Retrieving Screen". Check it out!
