Collector's notes: No TV commercial is more famous and mythic than Ridley Scott's "1984", Apple's TV ad for the newly introduced Macintosh personal computer. Based on George Orwell's acclaimed 1949 novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four", which is set in a frightening dystopian society ruled by "Big Brother" in the then futuristic year of 1984. The first (and last) time this advert aired on national television was on January 22, 1984 during Super Bowl XVIII.

Collector's notes: Currently mocked by all, the yuppie was considered the ideal of success for some in the '80s. Short for "young upwardly-mobile professional", the yuppie was usually a Baby Boomer out of college finally making a name for themselves in the financial world. Always up to date on the latest trends, yuppie attire consisted of power dressing, walking shoes, and block phones. Word of advice: if one asks if you like Huey Lewis and the News, its best to just run like hell.

Collector's notes: What? You've never heard of a Valley Girl before? Like, barf me out! Gag me with a spoon! This strange fad came to be right after the release of Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl" with daughter Moon Unit, which later inspired the popular teen movie of the same name. Since the 90s the Valley Girl has been the ultimate stereotype for us Californians, especially those who hail from the San Fernando Valley. The Val was ditzy, materialistic, with a wide ranged vocabulary like "Totally" and "Fer shur" specifically known as Valspeak. So...like, whatever. I'm outtie (for now).

Collector's notes: Aerobics have always been a good way to exercise. With the stretching and strength training and all. But in the 1980s, it was a was of life. Thanks to Jane Fonda's popular workout tapes, aerobics became the must thing for both women AND men. Other attributes to the sudden aerobics craze was Olivia Newton John's hit "Physical" to Jennifer Beals' role in "Flashdance", which soon made workout gear not just for "working out" anymore. Leggings, ripped T-shirts and legwarmers were being worn on the streets, at the market, malls, everywhere.
