It is Polish Pickup time, and for once in my life this isn't a swatch post! Those days are mostly behind me now, and I get to enjoy Spoiler Day like everyone else. Finally. The theme this month is 1990s Grunge, and I am 100% here for it. I have compiled a shopping list of all the brands (so far) that are using my favorite artist/group from the era: Nirvana and specifically Kurt Cobain.
(I am a PPU employee/contractor. The thoughts, opinions, and statements contained in this post are all my own and in no way affiliated with PPU. I am not endorsing or supporting any particular brand. Today, I am just a fangirl)
Are you a former 1990s teenager? Depending on which end of that decade you came of age, you either listened to one of the various flavors of rock...or you chose the Dark Side and listened to pop music. I was born in 1980, which made me a young teen when grunge first broke out into the mainstream...and I fell in love. It was angry and loud and sad and...everything my broken 12yo heart needed to have. I was a sad teenager (hooray depression!) and the moody lyrics and dark sounds of Nirvana really spoke to my soul. I am not sure if I would have survived 1995 without the Unplugged in New York album. I think I listened to that about 7,000,000 times in a row.
For all you youngins', Nirvana was pretty much the band that MTV and the mass media latched onto as THE "grunge" band. It flooded my semi-rural radio station airwaves for years and years. Many lesser copies popped out and eventually faded from memory, but Nirvana will always be the one everyone knows.
Let's get on with my personal wishlist the list! I will update with links to shop once the Polish Pickup shop goes live.
"...A muted, olive-green base mimics that famous knitted item, while a bold blue shimmer pops like the stage lighting. Silver reflective pigment adds a dash of sparkle for a unique shade perfect in two coats..."

Even though I work behind the scenes at PPU, I try to avoid seeing spoilers until the Spoiler Post has gone live. In the hellscape that has been our Roaring 20s, it is one of the few pleasant surprises the internet has for us. I really can't wait until the shop opens to grab these shades. I normally limit myself...but this month has really tugged at my heartstrings.
