Like most people living in their first NYC apartment, I fell into the IKEA trap when I first moved into my studio. Rent tends to be so expensive in the city and a lot of young professionals end up getting a lot of their furniture from discount stores. I was no exception. After finally making the decision to upgrade, I ended up going through a lot of my closets and subsequently, my Michael stuff.
Here are a couple of my favorites for September, including some "oldies but goodies":
1. Moonwalker
I wore this tape OUT when I was a kid. I simply couldn't get enough of it. This copy is from a friend who recently moved out to LA and was purging some of her collection. The past couple of days, I've been coming home and enjoying this throwback film every evening after work. They now sell Moonwalker in DVD form (here) - if you don't have it... run to the store and check it out!
2. Michael & Me by Shana Mantagal
Now, I will admit. I am not the most knowledgeable fan- ESPECIALLY when it comes to Michael's personal life. I've shared time and time again that my fandom pretty much is rooted in me admiring Michael's accomplishments, being grateful to him for his sacrifice/hard work, and also loving him for bringing me closer to all of my best friends. I usually don't indulge in this type of stuff but, curiosity got the best of me and I picked this up. Planning on doing a full review of the book in the next 3-4 weeks- stay tuned!
3. My Vinyl Record Player
This was gifted to me last Christmas but, I just recently started using it. Hitting up thrift stiffs for albums at a discount is another one of my fave things to do lately. My favorite album to listen to so far is JACKSONS LIVE. I grew up listening to this record and it's been something near and dear to my heart since childhood.
4. Michael Jackson Shot Glasses
I'm not a huge drinker but, thought these were super cute. I got two of them!
If you've been to the store at Mandalay Bay, you know that there's always been a volume of merchandise with the MJ ONE logo (and that faaaaake signature). I was pleased to see on my recent trip that there are a lot more branded items now with Michael's real signature (and more recreations of old tour shirts and merchandise- which is awesome).
5. Bal a Versailles
Michael's favorite fragrance from the '80s, this was gifted to me and I will treasure it for a long, long time :)
