Who is Rainbow Brite?

Our apartment building is called The Clarendon, and is full of interesting people. Even better, it is full of interesting people who don't know about my blog. So yes, that means free reign on talking about them here. I am way too exhausted to start an elaborate post about them right now, but to give you a taste.... One of our good friends from the 3rd floor, Jamie, dressed up as Rainbow Brite last night for the big party. Jamie is the cutest, sweetest girl, and made a wonderful Rainbow Brite. (I will be getting real pictures soon.) Anyway, after much partying and drinking, and numerous 18-22 year olds guessing she was Cher or a Princess, she turned and screamed, "I'm Rainbow Brite, I'm a f*cking childhood icon!"
It was one of the best moments of the party and weekend , and was caught on tape. We got to watch it today, it was great. I hope everyone had a great weekend, and have a great Halloween!

I don't think I could've picked Rainbow Bright out of a lineup...am I too old or too young?

Cool, apartment gossip! It's like a reality show version of Melrose Place. I LOVED MELROSE PLACE!!

Rainbow Brite was the smart choice because Strawberry Shortcake would've been sniffed all night. Though I might have equally enjoyed someone dressed as Strawberry Shortcake screaming, "Quit f*cking sniffing me!" Both would be the high point of any party.

That is priceless.

One year I couldn't think of what to be so I wore polkadot PJ's, colored my face, and wrapped myself in lit christmas tree lights. I called myself a "Christmas Clown". I had to plug in every time I answered the door.

The trick-or-treaters weren't buying it.

Who the hell didn't know who rainbow bright is? Dumb asses.

That would have been awesome to see rainbow bright say fuck!

I had the Rainbow Brite doll...I scraped her freckles off with a rock in the backyard...

This is fascinatingly cool on two counts:

1) that you can openly blog about people in your immediate vicinity, which is kick ass,

and

2) that Rainbow Brite name dropped HER OWN NAME on their asses. Priceless!

Happy Halloween!

I love that you got it on tape. Have a great Halloween, Bobby.

Bobby said...

Mr G, you are just right. Seriously, the only reason I think I remember her is that I had a younger brother in the eighties, and we would see commercials for Rainbow Brite while watching the more manly cartoons, like Heman.

Librarian, exactly like that. I thought about naming them by Melrose Names, in case they ever read this, but figured they would know who everyone is anyway, so why bother?

SG, "Christmas Clown?" That's not as bad as my costume last weekend, which was a camera. I was a paparrazi.

Patsy, she wouldn't, which is why I thought it was hilarious. The large amount of bourbon helped too.

Rit, if Jamie burns it to a CD and makes a movie file out of it, I will post it. Just the one line.

LB. a freckleless Rainbow Brite? Sweet.

Kris, cool huh? As long as no one tells them.

BabyJ, you too darlin.

FRITZ said...

How could Rainbow Brite be confused with Cher? Good for that fucking childhood icon. Good for her. Sounds like a cool party.

The Claredon? Hmm...sounds familiar. I do believe I'll start stalking you, my friend...MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Bobby said...

Fritz, I have no idea, but yes, it was a cool party.

And if you're going to stalk, feel free, I'll even make it easy and email you directions if you'll stop and pick up a pack of smokes and a pepsi for me. (We can hit the liquor store together later)

Spinning Girl said...

Don't make any plans without ME!!!

Rex Venom said...

I might not be the brightest crayon in the pack, but even I know not to mess with a childhood icon!
Rock on!

these childhood icons get pretty huffy if you don't recognize them.
