Y'know Ichigo, I think you may benefit from a viewing of one of the shorts we're watching tonight. Appreciating Our Parents seems like something you may want to look into. P:
Ichigo, did your mom hate? I mean men don't wear pink, hell my sister almost never wears pink. hey why didn't you bug your mom until she got it that guys don't wear pink or leave note next to her computer saying no pink. oh, great show.
I had the cassette tape of MC Hammer which included 'U Can't Touch This' and his other songs at the time. And the VHS of the movie where it's Hammer saving the kids in his hometown from drug dealers. See, back in the days, rappers saved kids from drugs; now they encourage them towards the stuff.
Nagi is too tsundere to be moe. And back in 2007, I definitely would've been rooting for Rika from 'Higurashi', even though she is an embodiment of ultimate evil.
$100 for bedsheets? Take that, Martha Stewart!
I love Cringer! The '80s had some goofy fashions, but the cartoons were epic.
I know how you guys feel. My mom was always trying to dress me in pink and get me to wear styles that I really didn't want to wear. I think she wanted a girl instead of me. But growing up with two older brothers negated much of what she was trying to teach me.

Wow... Yeah, the dancing was embarrassing, but I have to say having pink, fish-print Hammer Pants is equally horrifying, if not more. I say equally because I not only had to dance to Ice Ice Baby, I had to do it in a lame-ass costume, made of that shimmery fabric in a flesh tone shirt and black pants. And sequins. I hate sequins. They itch like hell.
I have to say though, I was never tempted by the fashions of the 80s/90s to want to wear things I saw on music and movie stars. And seriously, what was up with you mom and her pink obsession? Maybe she wanted a girl instead, but even though she had a son that wasn't going to stop her? Either that or she's pretty twisted.
The final straw when it came to giving up dancing happened when my mom decided to put quite noticeable purple/pink eyeshadow on me for the rehearsal of one recital. Why? So I would show up better on the cameras. Well, that explanation wasn't good enough to defend myself from the taunts of several other kids that time. I was fed up with it all anyway, so the next year I dropped out of the dance class.
Hah, Cringer. Thumbs up for a classic He-Man reference.
Y'know, that X-Men arcade game was probably my first serious introduction to Japanese Engrish (as opposed to the silly Chinese Engrish about which I had already known). Magneto had horrible grammar.
So let's see . . . when I was six or seven, my mom put me into a traditional Chinese dancing school. Traditional Chinese dance in and of itself isn't a bad thing. However, getting a giant red lipstick dot plugged on your forehead after putting on the dance costume and THEN going out to do the "silly, cute, kid's dance before the older kids to the REAL dancing" in front of people.
Really, really hated that lipstick . . . and to this day, I still contest the legitimacy of red dots on foreheads as a Chinese thing.

Your mother was "bringing down the hammer."
Don't you just hate last minute commentors?

@AP Ichigo:
That's harsh, man. Guess that just means she was twisted.

@TimeChaser:
The worst part is that I have a younger sister, she's only 2.7 years younger than me. She didn't get pink ski racing pads...
Thanks,

You're not the only one cringing. *shivers*
Man, I'm a girl, and I don't even care for pink. (I can tolerate it...Sometimes...)
Awesome music, sure woke me up, XD (I'm gonna' watch that anime, JUST for the theme song.)
Man, I love Street Fighter, one of the first video games I ever played. Now I'm in the mood to play video games...XD
See ya' next show, Ichigo!
