I still have my play mobile advent calendar from when I was a kid, it’s a woodland with loads of animals and Santa feeding them all I absolutely love it I put it up every year ❤

Dunno how the algorithm works but I enjoy looking at the Enquirer with you. Just fyi I think the issue was saved for the Lady Diana photos and stories. Image of her would fetch $500,000-$1 million dollars and you’re still interested in l them. Just my 2 cents from a lady a few years younger than Diana Spencer

Hey. Thankyou so much Cole for the exposure. I am on 20:47. Yes. I'm the got milk lady. Soon cool to still see this man in 2024. Peace!

We too have been waiting all year for this!!! Kudos again to DJ for the awesome gift.

i have been summoned from my cave from the Lord Cole!! Let me prepare my Latte cuz this gonna be good!! Xxx

Wow, how delightful! Thanks for sharing

How could I beg for candy in the Meijer checkout when these were staring back at me!? Too busy pining over JonBenet’s pageant lewks and hoping Bat Boy wouldn’t haunt my dreams!

Another wonderful video! The way I could sense that string breaking! Lol Such a thoughtful gift. Thank you for sharing Cole!

The Happy Meal playmobil toys were the best. I would've loved to get this as a kid.

You are probably easy to shop for! I wish I still had my vintage magazines

It's actually fitting that box 6 is Santa because December 6 is St. Nicholas day!

I LOVED Playmobil as a kid, and would have gone *bonkers* for this Advent calendar ❤😊 Thanks for sharing 🙏

I’m so jealous! I love mini anything. Your partner is a great gift giver!

When people pass away, the ones cleaning up donate some, keep some, sell some... It was likely a belonging of someone that passed and their relative was keen enough to recognize it as 'not trash'. I am surprised the store put it up for sale in a brick and mortar though. That seems a better fit for their online auctions. I had that exact copy in my possession at some point. My uncle read those when I was little and I would buy one every now and then as an adult, until the price became beyond unexpected.

The Fart noise kills me every time!

My parents loved this magazine. I was 5 in 1997 and I definitely remember this one. And look, JonBenet is shocking relevant again

11:40 "Byyyyyy Mennen!"

The “cover lady” is one of my favourite call backs for your channel haha. I wish there would have been a country woman and Victoria cross over magazine edition…could you imagine???

Princess Diana dying was the biggest shock. Can't say the others were shocking. There was a lot in the media about paparazzi causing her death and celebrities asking for new laws against paparazzi.

Love the sound effects. This brings back memories. Thanks

loved the special guest in this one!

This is great! More tabloids, please! 😊

Hi Cole

Great idea. Thank you for sharing the fun.

33:44 this music edit is 🤌🤌🤌

Another lovely trip down memory lane for me! You are quickly becoming my comfort, listen at work, creator. Thank you.

My mother bought me a subscription to Victoria every year from 1991 until she passed in 2017. These videos are lovely trips to the past.

OKAY WOW. We now know the origin story of pastel cottage core coastal grandma.

I have so many of these magazines!

you are so cool

7:32 I think the Clinque pens where eyeliners, not uncommon at all with a pop of color around the eyes, the 80s makeup lingered for a while into the 90s, but eventually went away ☺️ I'm not entirely sure tho, but the blue in particular screams eyeliner to me

T&C was always the best price magazine of this type.

Ohh, Christmas came early this year!! This is glorious! The holidays really are Victoria's time to shine. I love the richness of every shot-so many layers or colours, textures and patterns. I could spend hours slowly soaking this all in. Will you be showing your Christmas tree in an upcoming video? I would love to see how you decorate it!

Cole, Happy Holidays! Another great flip-through. Loved it. And thank you for doing more Christmas editions! I love the candles though I must say, that much open flame near the dried trees, branches, fruits, garland and popurri is combustion waiting to happen. Anxiety inducing for me, and yet, at the same time, quite a seed for suspense. My sick fantasy? That as you are flipping through the pages of the beautiful decor, bit by bit the flame of an errant candle in the pages is shown igniting the drapes in the background. No one gets hurt. It’s just pages in a magazine. But seeing your reaction to the absurdity of it would have me laughing uncontrollably. Merry Christmas, Cole! Keep up the good work. More holiday mags please!

Do YM July 2001!

Yeah, potpourri was very big back then. In the 21st century we moved to room spray and diffuser sticks, didn't we? The chicest potpourri in the 1990s that everyone in New York had was the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella. I was crazy for that scent. That Gucci watch was very popular and not well regarded by watch snobs. It was considered sort of cheap looking. A lot of people had it, though. Not sure why a high end magazine would want to promote pressed class compote dishes. The cut glass ones are so much nicer. I collect them. They're very cheap at thrift stores. No one wants them. Yes, I think Paulina became the face of Estee Lauder after Willow Bay left. So, there's nothing particularly 90s about this issue. I think they're holding on to an 80s ethos and I can't imagine the 90s and 2000s suited them much. 90s minimalism was not a good match for this title.

Those ecru cotton seat covers were everywhere back then. I believe it was Philippe Starck who started it, but I could be wrong. I don't think the cuffs at 14:50 are long enough to form a bishop sleeve. I think it's just a dolman sleeve. It's a pretty dress without the collar, which I think is called a bertha. She would 100% have worn pantyhose with this. Definitely nude because the bertha is white, but possible black sheer if the bertha wasn't there. (Definitely white if it had been the early 80s.) I don't think a late 80s woman would have worn anything but a very pointed toe very high heel shoe with this dress. I worked in a department store in 1988-89 and we sold a lot of dresses like this. It was the basic silhouette of the time. Sort of a softened, often more graceful version of the hard, angular bright color mid 80s look. Still just as voluminous, as you can see. I'm only vaguely aware of this magazine. It's not my taste at all, and I can't imagine looking at all this stuff from cover to cover, and I'm not exactly a minimalist. This is too much clutter for me.

Hi There I am the model in the fur ad with Actor Robert Preston.

My sister called me @ work the day that Geoffrey Bean died. I had to leave work early I was 100 % devastates and still am!

I was a VOGUE subsciber then . the magazine was something to look forward to but it is no longer. Too politicial, to stupid with tooooooooooooooooooooooooo many ads of heavy and ugly items of what passes for fashions. in the 1980's you could really dress and wear eye make up and be really, really lovely!

I once dropped into the nearest restroom in the mall, which just happened to be in NM. Sales ASSociate, who’d just directed me to the restroom gave me the eyebrow, and the look that said, “ DON’T stink it up, and wipe off the wet countertop when you’re done…(((sigh)))jeez…are you sure you couldn’t wait , hold it, and kegel it on down to Macy’s???”

In 1994, I wore the lightest pink nail polish in this set on my very short nails for my wedding in 1994, along with my Avon foundation. My sister did the rest of my makeup with her Elizabeth Arden Red Door makeup set. I wish I could find that one online! I know she got it in 1993 or 1994, so I have found some possibilities. I also wore Red Door perfume!

I bought that issue😊

I love that I found this! I loved the late 90s early 00s Spiegel and Avon catalogs when I was a tween. Watching Frasier and how he decorated his condo was so Spiegel.

My mom had some sort of lesser socioeconomic fur coat in the 80s, like beaver or something, some relatively unglamorous animal. She sold it because it was hard to maintain - but then right after that, bam, people started hating fur. Nice to be ahead of a curve

I love your humor! Thank you for making me laugh and remember the good ol' days! Keep it up! Also, the sound effects-- OMG!!! I am 55, but I am young at heart. Happy Thanksgiving to you.

I swear, I think I remember this issue! Love lüüv Luff watching you flip through this mag! Theeenks.

I had this one, as well as the 1993 Avon International Colors Collection #1- London. I wear palettes from brands like Too Faced now, but I miss these!
