BENTONVILLE, Ark., Dec. 16, 2004 – Everyone knows someone like our “Jenny”. She chooses to watch “I Love the 80’s” on VH1 over TRL and enjoys catching re-runs of “Dallas”, “Dynasty” and “The Love Boat”. Don’t bother buying her a CD from the Top 40 list; she sticks to her favorites like Duran Duran, Wham! and Billy Idol. At parties, she will bust out the Moonwalk and can remember the day her dad brought home the Thriller album.
Jenny owns every John Hughes film and when her girlfriends are at her house they constantly make fun of the fact that she has yet to buy a DVD player; parting with her VHS “classics” would be too devastating.
Jenny’s younger brother and sister own every “retro” toy imaginable including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cabbage Patch Kids, an Easy Bake Oven and Schwinn Sting-Ray bikes. All her friends are groovin’ to the tunes of Madonna while wearing mini skirts and their “steady guy” is wearing the latest preppy look.
While our Jenny doesn’t really exist, you may have someone on your shopping list that shares these same characteristics. So how do you shop for the Jenny in your life? By using the following “so ‘right now’ and so bodacious” guide from the shopping experts at your local Wal-Mart:
