Going through yet another memorabilia box buried in my guest room closet...I totally forgot I had these...I actually have zero recollection of buying them. And I guess I only bought this one pack? I don't know. 😬 I obviously must have chewed the gum, and I have no clue what I did with the stickers ~ I will probably find them on one of my old journal notebooks, which are all buried in another box in another closet. (Yeah...I still have all that shit...) 😸😸 I am including the shot of the back of the package just for fun....all that sugar Sugar SUGAR and the whopping price point of 40 CENTS! 🫨😸 What can you get for that these days???

Ebay listings are interesting....complete sets (including the stickers) in display format (NOT in package or "new in box") range anywhere from $50 to $200....

This was my Simon Le Bon haircut

This topic came up in another thread recently; I thought I would single it out. Easily one of my favorite parts of Stephen Pearcy's autobiography, if not THE favorite, is when he confessed being a fan of Duran Duran. This was literally a revelation for me. Another would come while reading DD Andy Taylor's book...when he lived in L.A. for a while, his next door neighbor was Tommy Lee. Andy went on to become friends with all the Motley guys and he was a guest at Vince Neil's bachelor party (when he married Sherise, if I remember correctly). That was an obnoxious story. 😸 (shocker) I was an OG Duranie back in the day and I took so much heat in high school (1980-1984) for being into both metal AND new wave....I was considered a "poser" by both sides. Meanwhile, there was more in common with both sides than anyone could have realized and where was all this information when I needed it back then?

In his book, Stephen shares a great story of fanboying out over meeting Simon LeBon in 1985 at the Limelight in New York City. Thankfully his own website does all the work for me (link below)...the video for his cover of Girls On Film, which I thought was pretty darn decent, is also included. Duran Duran's original demo version of the song is very rock-based and has a heavier feel than what it would eventually/ultimately sound like...I actually like it better. It's available on YouTube if anyone would care to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0lOp4xipSE
