Yuppies (Cliques)

Yuppies (1983)

Collection: AJV
Category: Cliques
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.

 
Valley Girls (Cliques)

Valley Girls (1982)

Collection: AJV
Category: Cliques
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).
