When I was 20, me and my first real boyfriend broke up. So my dad came home and gave me a cute Lisa Frank journal set with pens. It was like a movie scene where your dad comes in and soothes your childish sadness with some cute words and a gift lol.
Aaww we love a supportive father who knows what to do to cheer his daughter up ❤ That’s sad he passed away though, rip :( I hope you can always cherish the times you spent with him and keep the memory of him alive through you and your family’s stories and pictures. My dad lives back in my home country for his job though we still keep in contact. But one time when he flew over to visit us, he bought me a hand painted matryoshka set, which was really cool because it was Ariel themed! The smallest piece had sebastian the crab on it 😂 Though I haven’t been able to see him in person for 4 years (due to some government issues), I still keep that set in my room as hope that some day, hopefully within the near future, he’ll come for a visit again.
When I was a kid I could only get one or two Lisa Frank folders per year because they were so expensive and then I’d agonize over which subject was worthy of featuring golden retriever puppies sharing a rainbow sundae on the beach
Living in Tucson you can’t go anywhere without seeing the touch of Mrs. Frank. One of her head illustrators taught my design class at the junior college here. RIP Dennis❤️❤️
So I believe I am understanding your comment right, that you live in Tucson? I am one of those people who love to visit abandoned places and I was curious about the factory. I've heard that it's closed down permanently. Is that true? (If Bailey mentioned it, I missed it, I was doing chores while listening) But I was curious if it was one of those places you can visit and walk around, or has tours. I know I can Google, but I thought if it came from someone who lives there, it was more reliable information 😅
@@dejafeeback-bm5cn I am from Tucson and still live here. Unfortunately it is permanently closed down. They don’t do any tours or anything. I read another comment that says it’s used as an artillery manufacturer now 😢
@@allycatandersonif I'm not mistaken they recently (i know your comment is from like 6 months ago) made an announcement that they were coming back, but I'm not sure on all the details 😅
my grandma worked at the Lisa Frank factory in my hometown ( Tucson ) for 3 years before james took charge of the company, she met Lisa multiple times and said she was super nice and caring! The only reason I had Lisa Frank stuff growing up was because of my grandma I had way too many stickers that I still have til this day. She also remembers exactly how the factory looked like super colorful and bright. btw ily bailey!!!
My grandma worked there too! She worked in the factory side. Didn’t have the best experience working there tho 😔 horrible working conditions for the laborers.
Love all your cheeky references! Dark history had become a favorite of mine. Facts are facts but you are Bill Nye the Science Guy with the delivery. Thank you Bailey!! ❤️
As a kid in the 80's, I never really got into the Lisa Frank stuff but I was oh so jealous that the rich girls had Hello Kitty stuff that their mom's bought at the local boutique. I never got any. Fast forward to today, I just bought my daughter all Keroppi stuff from Hot Topic. I will relive my childhood through her, dangit! LOL
As a child of the 70's and 80's. Yes, stickers were a HUGE thing with kids. Scratch and sniff stickers, all different types of pop art inspired stickers!
I always thought the Lisa Frank stuff was dope when I was a kid, and secretly I wanted it. But it was for girls, and so I never said anything about it until just now.
Aw man I wish boys like you never had to feel that way. Yes we're heading in the right direction now, but it's hard to fight against the gendered stereotypes forced on us. I hope you feel more comfortable expressing yourself now, in any way you want to!
I can’t explain why when I saw Lisa Frank at Dollar Tree I got so excited. I’m 35 and growing up We weren’t able to afore it. Yes I went a little overboard and bought a bunch of stickers. Yes the child in me was happy to finally have access to these. And yes I did buy extra for my sister and my friends kids!
My husband found it at dollar tree, didn't realize it was Lisa frank and just thought our kids would enjoy it (we have four daughters) so he got a bunch and I flipped out when he got home and he was like "apparently I should have gotten you some too" 😂
I was an 80’s kid and can confirm sticker collecting was huge. All my friends and I had large photo albums with only stickers we organized them by type like scratch & sniff, puffy, and Lisa Frank stickers were very desirable.
My dad was a truck driver when I was young, and sometimes he would take me and my mom with him on his trips into the US. One time we stopped at a Target and we shopped. I found this diary that I wanted more than anything in the world. Literally, my little child heart thought it was the only thing I could ever want or need. I remember staring at it forever and begging for it. My parents said, no and that it was too expensive. I sat in sleeper of the semi for hours crying. I never forgot that day, but I never thought I'd know what kind of diary it was. Now I know it was an Lisa Frank! The colors and images brought it all back.
Get yourself one if you can! I’m 35 and found some of Lisa Franks stickers at a local dollar tree. When I tell you my inner child was so excited and happy 😃.
Girl if you don’t go buy that diary right now I’m going to buy it for you. I’m not kidding - we’re poor, but my kid will be 100% behind me on this. Some things you just have to have. It’s a necessity! For your inner child - that little girl Tanya, who cried to herself in the sleeper. I am sending you a hug 🤗
Absolutely, I remember them days and lisa frank was expensive to most people back then. My parents only bought me plain cardboard like folders and they did not last long. 😢😢😢
Yes Lisa Frank is still huge i let my daughter get lisa frank folders for school, but i loved my trapper keeper and my kid's didn't like them....im like you have everything you need right here lol
I was born in 1988 & just turned 34 on the 5th. Leos ♌️ represent! Was introduced to some of my younger classmates in their early 20s. They thought I was 24 🥺 Bless their hearts. Shout out to The Ordinary & few other skin care products, water, & my yearly sacrifices to keeping me looking young 💜
I was born in 1991 and I tuned 31 today! But do I look 31 nope! I just last week was asked if I was excited to go back to school lol! And my kids hear comments all the time calling them my siblings 🤣. Moral of this story own your age and surprise people.
I was born in 84 so I remember some of that fruit jewelry was still popular when I was 4 but didn't realize she started them. the stickers I remember and of course her other stuff too
I was folding clothes when she said, “LINDA, listen!” I laughed and I’m alone. Last year I was listening to one of her MMM episodes and dozed off. Bailey yelled, “Wake up!”
I live in Tucson Arizona, & drive by the factory from time to time. They stopped production at that location, but kept it open as a museum of some sort for a while, but since has shut down completely. The hearts & stars have since slowly faded with time, the building has a hole in the glass as if someone threw a rock through it, & the lot is as empty as ever. You can honestly feel the bitter energy as you drive past 🥺
Oh I know lol. I found some on Amazon and bought them. I say they're for my daughter's Birthday but I'm sure she won't mind if I borrow a few now and then lol
Me, already knowing the ins and outs of the Lisa Frank story: *settles down to dust my office and hear someone else explain the madness to me all over again.*
My mum spoiled me. I was a total Lisa Frank girl. Going through being a child to preteen in the mid-late 90’s… it was everything and everywhere. Well aside from grunge, 🦋 hair claws, Jnco pants… and the original raves… oh and not to forget 🌈 glitter bracelets
I never knew that Lisa Frank was so expensive bc by the time I was born (2003) I would buy Lisa Frank at dollar tree for cheap. I would buy coloring books and folders 😂
I grew up in the 90s and never thought it was expensive but I do realize that I did go to private schools and grew up with parents whose goals in parenting were materialistic.
@@squarebear619 I'm an 80s baby and grew up in the 90s, her stuff did cost more than plain school supplies. I had a few Lisa Frank items here and there. They did cost more but I didn't think they were unaffordable. My parents purchased most of our school supplies in bulk, so they wouldn't have to randomly go out and buy school supplies in the middle of the night. My parents wouldn't get us Mead Trapper Keepers, because they don't think they were a sturdy product, but we had Mead Five Star zipper binders.
I was born in 90 and I had a few folders but their trapper keepers and a few of their other items were definitely pricier. I only had a few of their items. I LOVED Lisa Frank.
I literally just 💛💚💙💗 watched Lisa Frank documentaries and news clips just yesterday.. and thought how cool it would be if Bailey made a video on this subject. Nice. Edited to + 💛💚💙💗
Stickers were EVERYTHING in the 80s! We had sticker collection books! All sorts of stickers.... scratch-n- sniff, puffy, glittery.... they were all the rage!
@@jackiemiles1091 Honestly, same. I was lucky enough to visit Tokyo a few years ago and brought back an embarrassing quantity of food-with-faces stickers. It was heavenly.
I love how those little butterfly clips were just setting the vibe. You are a 1997 retro queen! This episode was really fun. Thanks for adding a rainbow print bookmark to the dark history book! 🐼 🌸
The smell at Spencer's is all the janky cheapness ,toxic chemicals and cheap incense! Lol..you are the best Bailey! Just unpacked some storage stuff that's been hidden in oblivion and found some Lisa Frank stickers!! Haha
I would love a dark history on the practice of non consensual pelvic exams to many times required for medical students to preform on unconscious people. Because I just found out about that and I am terrified.
I'm confused.. why would there be a reason to do a "dark history" video about medical students learning how to do pelvic exams? I feel so dumb right now lol.
@@chelseaozanic92 I believe the OP is saying that the pelvic exams were performed on the medical students...which it's super sus 😳 I hope I'm wrong lol
The best as always!🤩 id loveeee you to talk about the dark history of childbirth, pregnancy stuff they’d do back in the day, wet nurses, the contraptions they used to get them out, why the mortality rates are so different at different times and for different races. You’re literally mesmerising I can’t wait to get all the juicy gossip every week😭🖤
Iconic or not, why continue to support a company that falsely claim copyright on artists works that have nothing to do with Lisa Frank? Why support a company who steals from other artists and small beauty brands?
I can absolutely verify stickers were a thing in the early 80's! I remember having sticker albums and bringing them to school and you would share what stickers you had. Of course, Lisa Frank being the most coveted!
I STILL have my "sticker book" from middle school and ABSOLUTELY have pages of Lisa Frank stickers!!! (besides the scratch & sniff and oily holo ones!!!) 💖💖💖
Posters were really big too. My walls were completely covered and I had some on my ceiling as well. Some of the stuff that was popular back then was so wholesome. Despite the fact that most of us were feral latchkey kids that ran wild. I honestly miss running through sprinklers, being outside playing with a group of friends until dinner, then chowing down as fast as possible to get back outside until the street lights came on. Lol
just throwing this out there - but they were not that expensive, just more expensive than the basics. A plan folder cost .10 (literally that much - my mom as a teacher and we purchased in bulk) while a Lisa Frank folder cost .65. All of this was less than a candy bar, but when you had to buy all school supplies and art supplies - it all added up. Bailey is too young to remember the actual trapper keepers - the zipper ones that she is talking about came out much later (they were either 5 star, or 5 star knock offs)
Oh dear. After you mentioned having to pass up the pretty, colorful LF items in the aisle and have no choice but to get the cheapest of cheap items, i immediately had flashbacks of my bratty breakdowns my poor mother had to endure lol. And even though it was such a big deal to 7 year old me at the time, looking back, I remember the heartbreak in my moms eye of feeling like she wasn’t adequate enough because she couldn’t splurge a little bit on a pink and purple folder. Ugh, it hurts my heart to think about it. Especially because for whatever she couldn’t provide in materials; she absolutely made up for with compassion, love, and devotion for her kids! But on a lighter note, after about 1 week into school that year, she had completed a large gig (videographers were a big thing back then) so she took me to pick out a few lF items. I remember getting a binder (never used it in 2nd grade but I loved it!), a rainbow/leopard print pencil that all peeled off after sharpening it, and 2 folders with white seals and kitten on them that came with stickers. I felt like My little life was completed at that moment and my mom was and is still is my hero!!’ Sorry for the long; poorly written novel. I just got a little too exited when that memory resurfaced! ;)
Why am I just now seeing this video 😭 Lisa Frank comes into the salon I work at! She is so nice, and I’ve actually had the pleasure of doing her hair. 🥰
Tell her her public has kids and we want to see her stuff in walmart again!! And walgreens and target. We humbly plea her to pick up her art supplies and patent lawyers!
Bailey me and my daughter really enjoy listening to your stories and gossip gives us something to do together as she is a teen and doesn't like to be bothered so thanks
I can't believe Lisa Frank things were expensive! I need to call my aunt, who raised me, and thank her because I had all the supplies in school! I was obsessed!
When I was in middle school I wanted a Lisa frank folder. My mom brought home a vanilla ice folder from Kmart. Um this was the early 2000’s so he was not even relevant anymore. Sadly I threw it away. I wish i still had it because it makes for a great story and I would actually use it now just because it would be so funny. My momma had no idea what was going on. She was just trying to save money. Bless her lol
I collected stickers in the 80s and specifically had a whole book of different teddy bear stickers (i also collected stuffed teddy bears until I was 13). I was so obsessed with Lisa Frank stickers. They weren't expensive in the 80s but we didnt have all the amazing stuff the younger generations did - pretty much stickers, pencils, stationary etc in Lisa Frank designs. Any weekend I had money or my mom would give me $2 she would take me to this specific store where I picked stickers one by one from rolls of stickers - it was the most fun. With $2 - I would leave with a bunch of stickers because they were priced from $.10 to $.25 each. It was the highlight of my weekends!
I don't usually do any sort of self promo, but I'm a commission artist. Hmu if you want me to design you a Lisa Frank style character or animal without all the baggage lol. 😂 Edit: I'm a 90s girl too lol.
Girl, I had sticker books, basically photo albums for collecting stickers. We didn't have the internet, youtube, tiktok... we didn't even have cell phones, decent TV or decent radio. We worked with what we had.
Yerp, and in hindsight, less was more. I'd be beside myself whenever I got to watch cable tv at my cousins house and now kids are flipping through Netflix like "im bored".
Scratch-N-Sniff round "Fantastic" sticker with the pastel blue rainbow on it...and woven ribbon barrettes..melted plastic window craft decals. We were so excited for the Saturday morning cartoon specials.
Her story sort of reminds me of the artist Margaret Keane’s story (Tim Burton film Big Eyes). Why does it seem there’s always some dude that comes along and claims women’s art as their own? Another example is Xavier Roberts with the Cabbage Patch dolls he stole from Martha Nelson Thomas, that’s another very interesting story you could cover!
@@laquettaowens6120 Me too. They are so cute. I was an 80’s kid and remember the craze. Xavier Roberts story was wild. I just wish Xavier Roberts gave Martha Nelson Thomas the recognition & compensation she deserved for her designs. I think he perfected the look of them and made them even more cute.
I saw now she’s shooting for September 12th which is disappointing. Instead of continuously releasing dates/target months and then backing down I wish she would be more transparent. I always get excited when I see Bailey notifications hoping MMM is back ❤️
We were BROKE broke when I was a kid, but managed to get my hot little hands on exactly ONE Lisa Frank school supply. It was a rainbow panda (!) Trapper Keeper. Right after I got it, my school banned Trapper Keepers. 😭😂
I collected Lisa frank sticker sheets when I was in elementary school. Never used them, just looked at them in my sticker album. I still have the album!!
I still have Lisa Frank everything. Binders came back out last year along with pencils, stickers, folders, and that nail polish you press on. I have it all and I love it all. I had coloring books of hers when I was younger along with all the other stuff. Absolutely obsessed. As an 80s baby yes stickers were amazing and still are!!!!
James is the perfect example of why you NEVER get into a relationship with a narcissist, because they will do everything in their power to destroy you, even if that means destroying themself.
With as many "influencers" that have done a storyline on LISA FRANK lately, she should DEFINITELY try to make her comeback now!!! IF she has it in her after being beaten down by media and kinda blacklisted for so long. I hope so!! SHE didn't run it into the ground, HE did.
"Just get over it." "I'M CURED!" I died. 😂 I had no idea any of this happened 😳 Thanks for some glitter-spangled dark history! The overalls are amazing, btw, and you look fab as always!
In the 80's we had stickerbooks, I remember freaking out about the scented stickers and like felt or some icky material were the best.We would trade stickers, it was crazy.
My mom would check the clearance everytime she went to the stores. I was able to get a few pieces a year. But it was usually the pencils and folders. 😆
School supplies by Lisa frank were awesome. School supplies are so bland now too. All great things have a terrible history. Love your dark history series!!
The thought my grandmother probably worked at her dad's factory in Detroit never occurred to me and kind of freaks me out. It would explain why my grandmother disliked the products so much. I could pick anything I liked but Lisa Frank was off limits.
@@bf1442 exactly. My grandmother came from a large family and still had minor aged siblings during the war. They were teenagers but still under her parents care and I don't think she married my grandfather until after the war. She passed 4 years ago and it was one of those things I really didn't think to ask and I would actually have to ask my mother. I'm trying to do the math because my mom will be 70 soon and my uncle is around 75. I didn't see a can of Pepsi till I was about 10. We always had Coke.
This makes me so sad. I was a single mom with a daughter that adored all things Lisa Frank. We even came back to the US to stock up on LF school supplies when we lived in the middle east!
Haha, 5 star was fancy for me, Lisa Frank was not even a glimmer of hope 😅 Now as an adult I didn’t even remember Lisa Frank, glad my parents saved the money looking back on it!
Now that I'm an adult and can spend my money as recklessly as I please, I just treated myself to an overpriced Lisa Frank composition notebook. Idk what I'll use it for, but I adore it 😂🦄🐬🌈
@@Janellabelle You're definitely right. She probably did, if she can spend her money recklessly. I didn't go to college, however, & I definitely cannot spend money recklessly, but I STILL do. 🤦🏼
Lol we had similar childhoods, my family could not afford the Lisa Frank school supplies either. I was so excited when I found a Lisa Frank zipper binder at a thrift store😂
I interviewed with the Lisa Frank Company when I was going to U of A in Tucson in the 90s. This was like memory lane watching this...I love that you included pics of their funky building. I got the impression it was a toxic work environment just from the in person interview. But I didn't know the rumors and was new there and just looking for a job and was dazzled by the Lisa Frank name. I very much got the vibe that I wasn't hired because of fatphobia. I'm 90% sure I interviewed with Rhonda because I was interviewed by the head of HR which was a VERY condescending woman. I was more than qualified but they were pushing this "image" that I kept feeling during the interview alluded to my physical size. But for being such a "creative" company - they had a VERY cold work environment and VERY rigid rules which I had been given a handout of their "rules" to go over and had already got the impression just from that that I didn't want to be hired anyway. Companies like this rely on their name and hype - a lesson people now should take heed of. Just because you see hype around a company doesn't mean it's a great company to work for.
I was a teen in the 80's and her stickers were hanging up in Spencer's. I loved them! The stickers were essential for putting on envelopes because back then, we wrote letters.
Yes, sticker collecting was a huge deal in the early 80s. At least it was in Southeastern Michigan when I was in elementary school. Collecting them in photo albums and trading them at lunch, after school, and at slumber parties. If the stickers were anything beyond a standard sticker they were more desirable...bright colors, googly eyes, puffy stickers and scratch and sniff.
It was the same in our small southern town. I had binders of stickers by 1991 than suddenly the craze disappeared, although I carried it on till the middle of junior high.
When I went to the art center design college, Lisa Frank was the only job they would promote and guarantee us after graduation, but we had heard all the rumors and a few of my friends went to work for her and confirmed it was toxic
I grew up in the 80's and every year I couldn't wait for school to start so I could get new Lisa Frank supplies! Everything I got was from her trapper keepers folders pencils pouches erasers sticker etc. Love all her designs!
What's so annoying is life is mostly back to basics again. I got to live in Lisa frank Era. Kids get very little choice with their folders and notebooks now..
Yeah, a lot of schools do that whole “take the supplies, mix them up, and then give them out when you need them” thing, so getting kids personalized stuff is useless. I’m glad I never had to do that in school with my folders and stuff.
Yes! Now that my daughter is starting middle school and CAN pick out cool, unique supplies, she's too conditioned to pick out boring solid colored stuff. 😔
My 4th grader had to have 1 red, 1 grn,1 blue, 1 purple folder. Oh and they got to choose 1 fun notebook. But the rest all had to the color the list said
My parents got me a loom when I was a child, but it wasn't the full size one, it was a small one that I could hold in one hand while working with the other. Then again, thanks to such gifts I knew how to sew plush toys, pillows, blankets and so on at age 5/6.
@@illyraleonas do I. I too would like the know where that ridiculous story came from. It's literally an empty building with old Lisa frank stuff on it lol
Does anyone remember those fuzzy posters we colored? I had a few Lisa Frank ones! And ONE folder that I used for years. - it was the hugging penguins 🐧
I’m from Tucson! When I saw this title I screamed, I was like “she’s going to have to say Tucson!” The Lisa Frank building is still up but blocked off. My coworkers mom worked there and she says that Lisa Frank would hire undocumented folks and then call border patrol to avoid paying the employees 😞
This was my first Bailey episode and I now wait every week for new episodes of both podcasts. I love Lisa frank designs and always wondered what happened. Thank you Bailey for all of your hard work.
When my daughter was younger I bought her some Lisa Frank stuff because my inner child needed it. She didn't care for it. The colors are definitely still relevant but the images scream 90s. So it really only appeals to us millenials. I don't see it being successful with kids today unless they update some things. Maybe that's why she brought her teenager on board.
This episode popped up again and I can’t help myself from watching it again!…. #1 Bailey is such an amazing story teller #2 I freakin loved Lisa Frank’s EVERYTHING as an 80’s baby! It was an obsession, thanks for taking us down memory lane! 🦄💕🐼
When I was 20, me and my first real boyfriend broke up. So my dad came home and gave me a cute Lisa Frank journal set with pens. It was like a movie scene where your dad comes in and soothes your childish sadness with some cute words and a gift lol.
I love how your dad bought his 20 year old daughter a Lisa Frank journal...
Like how cute. Every girl needs a diary right?
@@christianluz602 my dads passed away since then. So it’s a cute memory I get to have forever ♥️
Aaww we love a supportive father who knows what to do to cheer his daughter up ❤ That’s sad he passed away though, rip :( I hope you can always cherish the times you spent with him and keep the memory of him alive through you and your family’s stories and pictures.
My dad lives back in my home country for his job though we still keep in contact. But one time when he flew over to visit us, he bought me a hand painted matryoshka set, which was really cool because it was Ariel themed! The smallest piece had sebastian the crab on it 😂 Though I haven’t been able to see him in person for 4 years (due to some government issues), I still keep that set in my room as hope that some day, hopefully within the near future, he’ll come for a visit again.
THAT is the cutest thing I've heard in a long time. Go dad!
After watching this video - I got a fresh picture in my mind of your beautiful dad/daughter moment! What a wonderful memory. TY for sharing it.

Your a great mom. I had all boys ,so anytime I get to buy a girl gift I go all out with my adult money.😂
"I never got any." The saddest words ...
I am disappointed by the lack of comments about Bailey’s use of the term “dickmatized” 🤣 😆
Youve never heard of dickmatized lol
YESS MERCH PLS
its been said
Someone probably already owns it. Definitely heard this word as a kid in 2000s...a lot lol
Yep, we've been saying "dickmatised" in the UK for years now
As a child of the 70's and 80's. Yes, stickers were a HUGE thing with kids. Scratch and sniff stickers, all different types of pop art inspired stickers!
Yup. I had a big sticker collection in the 80s. Scratch and sniff was THE BEST.
I remember my sister throwing fits over getting at least a sticker set if we couldn't afford a folder or binder
Scratch n Sniff!!! Man I miss those!
I remember the 90s were big on stickers too. If you got a sticker book, you were one of the elites
I remember the scratch and sniff stickers
I always thought the Lisa Frank stuff was dope when I was a kid, and secretly I wanted it. But it was for girls, and so I never said anything about it until just now.
Baby, go get you some loud obnoxious LF stuff!!
Please go get you some LF!!! YOU DESERVE IT, SWEETIE!!
Its was for everybody
Aw man I wish boys like you never had to feel that way. Yes we're heading in the right direction now, but it's hard to fight against the gendered stereotypes forced on us. I hope you feel more comfortable expressing yourself now, in any way you want to!
happy rainbow glitter vibes are for everyone, go buy some if that's what you feel like doing :)
Lisa Frank, Care Bears and Hello Kitty was my addiction as a child I HAD TO HAVE EVERYTHING.
Me too but add to that Pound Puppies and My Little Ponys
Don't forget My Melody 😃
And Polly pocket 😅
Strawberry Shortcake and HK was mine ❤
You Rich Bich 😂 jk "Jealous!" 😘
I can’t explain why when I saw Lisa Frank at Dollar Tree I got so excited. I’m 35 and growing up We weren’t able to afore it. Yes I went a little overboard and bought a bunch of stickers. Yes the child in me was happy to finally have access to these. And yes I did buy extra for my sister and my friends kids!
Yesss plus it pretty much disappeared once we were older so seeing it come back was the best!
When I saw them in Dollar Tree I bought ALL of them. Like 16 books of stickers 😂
Hehehe I totally did the same thing. My sister was so stoked when I gave her the stickers. 3 packs for her and 3 for me! So cheap now!
I did the SAME THING🤣🤣
My husband found it at dollar tree, didn't realize it was Lisa frank and just thought our kids would enjoy it (we have four daughters) so he got a bunch and I flipped out when he got home and he was like "apparently I should have gotten you some too" 😂
I was an 80’s kid and can confirm sticker collecting was huge. All my friends and I had large photo albums with only stickers we organized them by type like scratch & sniff, puffy, and Lisa Frank stickers were very desirable.
Dude, I still have mine. And I had an eraser collection too. Even had some that looked like cigarettes! Lol
You guys are making me miss my childhood. Oh! The sticker collecting & trading when we had duplicates. 😆
And Hello Kitty/ Sanrio stickers, pencil cases, erasers, etc!
Saaaaame!! There were some really cool color changing ones as well, like a mood ring sticker. RIP Zany Brainy
Yes and I still have a lot of mine too!
My dad was a truck driver when I was young, and sometimes he would take me and my mom with him on his trips into the US. One time we stopped at a Target and we shopped. I found this diary that I wanted more than anything in the world. Literally, my little child heart thought it was the only thing I could ever want or need. I remember staring at it forever and begging for it. My parents said, no and that it was too expensive. I sat in sleeper of the semi for hours crying. I never forgot that day, but I never thought I'd know what kind of diary it was. Now I know it was an Lisa Frank! The colors and images brought it all back.
Haha aww this is cute
please go buy yourself one. 🫶🏻
Get yourself one if you can! I’m 35 and found some of Lisa Franks stickers at a local dollar tree. When I tell you my inner child was so excited and happy 😃.
I was hoping it would end with you getting it for Christmas or your birthday
Girl if you don’t go buy that diary right now I’m going to buy it for you. I’m not kidding - we’re poor, but my kid will be 100% behind me on this. Some things you just have to have. It’s a necessity! For your inner child - that little girl Tanya, who cried to herself in the sleeper. I am sending you a hug 🤗
Even being an early 2000’s kid, Lisa Frank was still HUGE! If you had those Lisa Frank Folders for school you were the coolest girl in school!
Absolutely, I remember them days and lisa frank was expensive to most people back then. My parents only bought me plain cardboard like folders and they did not last long. 😢😢😢
I got a five star trapper keeper too, you arent alone😂😂😂
I’m a 2000s kid and Lisa Frank was still huge for me, and I still collected and traded stickers with friends. I didn’t know it went back to the 80s!
Yes it did we had all kinds of sticker books for any and all stickers we could find
@@christietimmreck-byrd7503 thats so freakin cool
Stickers were awesome have you seen these cars that are covered completely with stickers??? I wouldn't ever do that to my car but probably an 80s kid
Yes Lisa Frank is still huge i let my daughter get lisa frank folders for school, but i loved my trapper keeper and my kid's didn't like them....im like you have everything you need right here lol
"I was born in.. no nevermind." 🤣🤣 I love you Bailey. I'm so so happy you're back!
I was born in 1988 & just turned 34 on the 5th. Leos ♌️ represent! Was introduced to some of my younger classmates in their early 20s. They thought I was 24 🥺 Bless their hearts. Shout out to The Ordinary & few other skin care products, water, & my yearly sacrifices to keeping me looking young 💜
I was born in 1991 and I tuned 31 today! But do I look 31 nope! I just last week was asked if I was excited to go back to school lol! And my kids hear comments all the time calling them my siblings 🤣. Moral of this story own your age and surprise people.
@@brown.frown. happy late birthday !!
@@thriftieswiftie thank you!
I was born in 84 so I remember some of that fruit jewelry was still popular when I was 4 but didn't realize she started them. the stickers I remember and of course her other stuff too
I was folding clothes when she said, “LINDA, listen!” I laughed and I’m alone. Last year I was listening to one of her MMM episodes and dozed off. Bailey yelled, “Wake up!”
She's talking to you.
😆
🤣😄
She just knows
I live in Tucson Arizona, & drive by the factory from time to time. They stopped production at that location, but kept it open as a museum of some sort for a while, but since has shut down completely. The hearts & stars have since slowly faded with time, the building has a hole in the glass as if someone threw a rock through it, & the lot is as empty as ever. You can honestly feel the bitter energy as you drive past 🥺
I used to live down the street from the head quarters 🌵 I’ve heard soooo many stories growing up about Ms Lisa Frank 🫢
Born and raised in Tucson and it's such a spooky relic of nostalgia!
Spill the tea 🫖 I wanna know I feel offended for all those who make jewelry because my uncle makes them.
we NEED the tea, girl. NEED it!
I also live i Tucson
@@talktalk3 same !!!
I’m really appreciating the butterfly clips. Very on brand with the story and my childhood 😂
right? i had so many of those :)
Yes!!! Lol
Same
Same here
Oh I know lol. I found some on Amazon and bought them. I say they're for my daughter's Birthday but I'm sure she won't mind if I borrow a few now and then lol
I loved the puffy Lisa Frank stickers. There were ones with water and glitter✨
THE PUFF STICKERS WERE SO SATISFYING
YESS
Me too!!❤
I was afraid to waste them as stickers. Those for sure had to be in a quality sticker book where they could be removed if necessary 😂
@@auntkaren3803exactly those were the type of stickers I never actually used because I didn’t want to ruin them 😹🙈
Me, already knowing the ins and outs of the Lisa Frank story: *settles down to dust my office and hear someone else explain the madness to me all over again.*
lol im listening while cleaning the bthrm !
Watch out for the catfishing....
We're here for the same reasons LOL
YASSS!!!!
Never heard of her before, being male I'm sure I'm not alone
My mum spoiled me. I was a total Lisa Frank girl. Going through being a child to preteen in the mid-late 90’s… it was everything and everywhere. Well aside from grunge, 🦋 hair claws, Jnco pants… and the original raves… oh and not to forget 🌈 glitter bracelets
Glitter EVERYTHING!! Bahahaha!! 😍😂🙃
JNCO pants were everything!!!! 😆😆 I tell my kids about them... and somehow the 90s .are a return🤦♀️🤷♀️🤣
Were you in San Francisco back then?
The shorts that look almost like pants.
Jelly shoes anyone?
I never knew that Lisa Frank was so expensive bc by the time I was born (2003) I would buy Lisa Frank at dollar tree for cheap. I would buy coloring books and folders 😂
Same! All the stickers,folders,notebooks and even pencils I would get them at dollar tree😂🫶🏼
I grew up in the 90s and never thought it was expensive but I do realize that I did go to private schools and grew up with parents whose goals in parenting were materialistic.
@@squarebear619 I'm an 80s baby and grew up in the 90s, her stuff did cost more than plain school supplies. I had a few Lisa Frank items here and there. They did cost more but I didn't think they were unaffordable. My parents purchased most of our school supplies in bulk, so they wouldn't have to randomly go out and buy school supplies in the middle of the night. My parents wouldn't get us Mead Trapper Keepers, because they don't think they were a sturdy product, but we had Mead Five Star zipper binders.
@@squarebear619 catholic or academies
I was born in 90 and I had a few folders but their trapper keepers and a few of their other items were definitely pricier. I only had a few of their items. I LOVED Lisa Frank.
A great example of what happens when a malignant narcissist runs a company 👍
This is the comment I was looking for!! As soon as she said he took a leadership position I knew😒
Try two malignant narcissists!
I literally just 💛💚💙💗 watched Lisa Frank documentaries and news clips just yesterday.. and thought how cool it would be if Bailey made a video on this subject. Nice.
Edited to + 💛💚💙💗
omg that's wild!
Thank you for manifesting this 🙏🏼
your mind is so powerful ✨
I watched illuminaughti's video on lisa frank! Its nuts! Cant wait to see baileys take 🍵
It doesn’t matter how familiar I am with a case/story/subject- I’m always ready to hear Bailey’s take 😂
Stickers were EVERYTHING in the 80s! We had sticker collection books! All sorts of stickers.... scratch-n- sniff, puffy, glittery.... they were all the rage!
Remember when they rolled out the hologram stickers? I thought I was SO cool with my hologram pegasus stickers!
I’m stuck in my 80’s sticker phase still. I have tons of stickers I put in my journals and planners.
@@jackiemiles1091 Honestly, same. I was lucky enough to visit Tokyo a few years ago and brought back an embarrassing quantity of food-with-faces stickers. It was heavenly.
I miss the 80s 😂
Some of us were obsessed with collecting wrist rubber bands back then... ah simpler times!
I love how those little butterfly clips were just setting the vibe. You are a 1997 retro queen! This episode was really fun. Thanks for adding a rainbow print bookmark to the dark history book! 🐼 🌸
Five Star is now one of the most expensive brands… at least to me 😂
I feel like five star has always been expensive. Or maybe we were just a poorer poor lol
I was thinking the same thing. I remember begging my Mama for anything 5Star and I think I got one little notebook 😭🤣 couldn't afford any of it
5 Star was maybe even more expensive than LF. If you got the 5 Star, you were the rich kid
Right!! Five Star did an uno reverse 😂
Yes my parents were mad about the $1 folders when the regular ones were 10 cents!!!! Book covers... Pencils... Planner... EVERYTHING!!!
When I was younger, I remember wanting twins when I grew up. A boy and a girl and their names would be Lisa and Frank.
Did it happen
Oh wow
@@kairilyn Absolutely not!
😂👏🏼❣️
My name is Lisa and my husband's name is Frank. True story@!!0
The smell at Spencer's is all the janky cheapness ,toxic chemicals and cheap incense! Lol..you are the best Bailey! Just unpacked some storage stuff that's been hidden in oblivion and found some Lisa Frank stickers!! Haha
I literally stopped the video to check the comments to see if anyone would know what the Spencer smell was haha thanks
I can smell it now.. 🤣
Incense?
Plásticos
I’m so old and can’t remember the smell. When I was a 90s teen Spencer’s was where you shopped for gag gifts and concert posters.

I would love a dark history on the practice of non consensual pelvic exams to many times required for medical students to preform on unconscious people. Because I just found out about that and I am terrified.
Dark History about gyneacology is a very needed episode. but boy is it gonna be hard to watch..
I'm confused.. why would there be a reason to do a "dark history" video about medical students learning how to do pelvic exams? I feel so dumb right now lol.
@@neuswoesje590 it feels like she’s done it. But I think she only talked a little about it
@@chelseaozanic92 I think maybe they were performed ON them.... Tbh I hope I'm wrong AF bc YIKESSS.

The best as always!🤩 id loveeee you to talk about the dark history of childbirth, pregnancy stuff they’d do back in the day, wet nurses, the contraptions they used to get them out, why the mortality rates are so different at different times and for different races. You’re literally mesmerising I can’t wait to get all the juicy gossip every week😭🖤
Someone else commented about the history of gynecology… she could combine all of those I’d be so interested!
@@laylamastella9764 yesss!! That’s an ace idea! She’s done periods but we need to know it all🫣😂
Haha my school had “trailers” too, we had all our math classes in there and they called them “portables” -I guess because they wanted to be fancy 😆🥴
Our trailers had A/C and the main school didnt so i loved classes in them! 😂
We called ours temporaries 🤷🏼♀️🤣
yup portables lol
Haha my high school had "portables" too! Your comment just Unlocked a core memory 😂
Ours were T-Buildings
I literally bought the Lisa Frank Crocs that came out not too long ago. Lisa is iconic to 80s & 90s babies no matter what
I keep trying but they immediately sell out of my size😭
Iconic or not, why continue to support a company that falsely claim copyright on artists works that have nothing to do with Lisa Frank?
Why support a company who steals from other artists and small beauty brands?
Amazon has them now. I got em for $60
@Kimmy R I got them when they came back in stock. Thank you though!
I can absolutely verify stickers were a thing in the early 80's! I remember having sticker albums and bringing them to school and you would share what stickers you had. Of course, Lisa Frank being the most coveted!
Girl, same! I just said the same thing! 😂
I STILL have my "sticker book" from middle school and ABSOLUTELY have pages of Lisa Frank stickers!!! (besides the scratch & sniff and oily holo ones!!!) 💖💖💖
My brother and I had sticker albums. Literally just photo albums but filled with stickers. Lisa Frank stationary was also big in the 80’s too
Posters were really big too. My walls were completely covered and I had some on my ceiling as well.
Some of the stuff that was popular back then was so wholesome. Despite the fact that most of us were feral latchkey kids that ran wild.
I honestly miss running through sprinklers, being outside playing with a group of friends until dinner, then chowing down as fast as possible to get back outside until the street lights came on. Lol
My sister and I had sticker albums in the 80's as well
“They’re just slappin meats”
I cackled my way to the grave💀😂
I love the rainbow butterfly clips in your hair 🤩 This episode is fantastic, Appreciate you! ❤
I had so much Lisa Frank and had no idea it wasn’t cheap… my parents were pretty broke but always made sure I had the things. :)
just throwing this out there - but they were not that expensive, just more expensive than the basics. A plan folder cost .10 (literally that much - my mom as a teacher and we purchased in bulk) while a Lisa Frank folder cost .65. All of this was less than a candy bar, but when you had to buy all school supplies and art supplies - it all added up.
Bailey is too young to remember the actual trapper keepers - the zipper ones that she is talking about came out much later (they were either 5 star, or 5 star knock offs)
Bailey is the only person alive who can make me WANT to listen to an ad lol
I agree!
Yess, the only RUclipsr I don't fast forward on lol
I literally just found myself listening to her and while reading your comment. I did not FFWD. Didn’t even have the urge to. Didn’t even realize it!
So freakin true
When's she does...I'm here in the comments and as she's talking about hair products and lotions hahahha I read this...lol 🤣
Oh dear. After you mentioned having to pass up the pretty, colorful LF items in the aisle and have no choice but to get the cheapest of cheap items, i immediately had flashbacks of my bratty breakdowns my poor mother had to endure lol. And even though it was such a big deal to 7 year old me at the time, looking back, I remember the heartbreak in my moms eye of feeling like she wasn’t adequate enough because she couldn’t splurge a little bit on a pink and purple folder. Ugh, it hurts my heart to think about it. Especially because for whatever she couldn’t provide in materials; she absolutely made up for with compassion, love, and devotion for her kids! But on a lighter note, after about 1 week into school that year, she had completed a large gig (videographers were a big thing back then) so she took me to pick out a few lF items. I remember getting a binder (never used it in 2nd grade but I loved it!), a rainbow/leopard print pencil that all peeled off after sharpening it, and 2 folders with white seals and kitten on them that came with stickers. I felt like My little life was completed at that moment and my mom was and is still is my hero!!’
Sorry for the long; poorly written novel. I just got a little too exited when that memory resurfaced! ;)
I love her so much, she's like a best friend spilling some mad tea with us

Tell her her public has kids and we want to see her stuff in walmart again!! And walgreens and target. We humbly plea her to pick up her art supplies and patent lawyers!

This is something she’ll remember forever!
W dad
I can't believe Lisa Frank things were expensive! I need to call my aunt, who raised me, and thank her because I had all the supplies in school! I was obsessed!
Yeah maybe bc i was a kid, but i don't remember my parents complaining about the price 🤔. I guess we were lucky kids!
Right, I was poor but somehow I had all her stuff. Need to call my mama up and tell her thanks.
Same here. But I spend like 10 cents on my boys folders... and I remember Lisa frank folders being like $1.99 & that was back then.
I hope Lisa Frank sees this & realizes how much we all love her and how much she really impacted our childhood
When I was in middle school I wanted a Lisa frank folder. My mom brought home a vanilla ice folder from Kmart. Um this was the early 2000’s so he was not even relevant anymore. Sadly I threw it away. I wish i still had it because it makes for a great story and I would actually use it now just because it would be so funny. My momma had no idea what was going on. She was just trying to save money. Bless her lol
I collected stickers in the 80s and specifically had a whole book of different teddy bear stickers (i also collected stuffed teddy bears until I was 13). I was so obsessed with Lisa Frank stickers. They weren't expensive in the 80s but we didnt have all the amazing stuff the younger generations did - pretty much stickers, pencils, stationary etc in Lisa Frank designs. Any weekend I had money or my mom would give me $2 she would take me to this specific store where I picked stickers one by one from rolls of stickers - it was the most fun. With $2 - I would leave with a bunch of stickers because they were priced from $.10 to $.25 each. It was the highlight of my weekends!
would love to see you post a vid of your collection tbh!!! - 19 year old sticker/stuffie lover :)
That how I remember it! Funny we all had a sticker book collection lol!!!!
I also loved the scratch and sniff ones lol!!!
When Bailey said James was trying to act like Scarface in Candy Land I almost lost it lol
Same!!! I laughed so loud in the middle of work!
😹
As a 90’s girl, I don’t think I can watch this. I choose blissful ignorance 🤣🌈🦁🐆❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I don't usually do any sort of self promo, but I'm a commission artist. Hmu if you want me to design you a Lisa Frank style character or animal without all the baggage lol. 😂
Edit: I'm a 90s girl too lol.
Same, I love Lisa frank 😅
Same!!
Right? LoL - still watching though, can’t help myself!
*hug*
Girl, I had sticker books, basically photo albums for collecting stickers. We didn't have the internet, youtube, tiktok... we didn't even have cell phones, decent TV or decent radio. We worked with what we had.
Yerp, and in hindsight, less was more. I'd be beside myself whenever I got to watch cable tv at my cousins house and now kids are flipping through Netflix like "im bored".
Our tv and radio was bomb excuse me
@@sarahelenatheoriginal709 Yasss
Yep. Same here for me!! Preach it!
Scratch-N-Sniff round "Fantastic" sticker with the pastel blue rainbow on it...and woven ribbon barrettes..melted plastic window craft decals. We were so excited for the Saturday morning cartoon specials.
Her story sort of reminds me of the artist Margaret Keane’s story (Tim Burton film Big Eyes). Why does it seem there’s always some dude that comes along and claims women’s art as their own? Another example is Xavier Roberts with the Cabbage Patch dolls he stole from Martha Nelson Thomas, that’s another very interesting story you could cover!
I loved cabbage patch dolls
@@laquettaowens6120 Me too. They are so cute. I was an 80’s kid and remember the craze. Xavier Roberts story was wild. I just wish Xavier Roberts gave Martha Nelson Thomas the recognition & compensation she deserved for her designs. I think he perfected the look of them and made them even more cute.
Baileeeey, I love love love your Dark History content but I terribly miss your MMM content. I have been anxiously waiting for its return
Me too
same. She said it airs on Monday, but its been like four months :( I've honestly re-listened to them all at least three times waiting for its return
I really prefer the MMM videos... I wish she would do more of those instead!
Yeah this is bs
I saw now she’s shooting for September 12th which is disappointing. Instead of continuously releasing dates/target months and then backing down I wish she would be more transparent. I always get excited when I see Bailey notifications hoping MMM is back ❤️
The awkward moment this video pops up 2 weeks before my daughter’s Lisa Frank themed birthday party😬 She loves all things 90s.

"James was acting like scarface in Candyland" 💀 ....if this isn't the best line I've ever heard, I don't know what is
We were BROKE broke when I was a kid, but managed to get my hot little hands on exactly ONE Lisa Frank school supply. It was a rainbow panda (!) Trapper Keeper. Right after I got it, my school banned Trapper Keepers. 😭😂
we need a dark history on WHY your school banned them in the first place 😂
Inquiring minds need to know
Of course they did.
My son just got a Trapper Keeper! They're coming back. Lol
My school banned them as well. My kids school still doesn’t let kids have them.
I collected Lisa frank sticker sheets when I was in elementary school. Never used them, just looked at them in my sticker album. I still have the album!!
As a 90s kid who used to have Lisa Frank everything, I’m a bit scared to watch 😂
omg LUCKY!!!
I still have Lisa Frank everything. Binders came back out last year along with pencils, stickers, folders, and that nail polish you press on. I have it all and I love it all. I had coloring books of hers when I was younger along with all the other stuff. Absolutely obsessed. As an 80s baby yes stickers were amazing and still are!!!!
Same!
I saved my giant stuff leopard for my nephew
@@BaileySarian Bailey, you should consider Trademarking and Copyrighting "Dark History".
Ive loved lisa Frank since I was 10! I’m 30 now and still love everything. Her story is dark compared to her bright art! Crazy
James is the perfect example of why you NEVER get into a relationship with a narcissist, because they will do everything in their power to destroy you, even if that means destroying themself.
Type of person that would cut their nose off to despite their own face😈
Both of them are narcissists!
With as many "influencers" that have done a storyline on LISA FRANK lately, she should DEFINITELY try to make her comeback now!!! IF she has it in her after being beaten down by media and kinda blacklisted for so long. I hope so!! SHE didn't run it into the ground, HE did.
I just got a Lisa Frank backpack and wallet from Loungefly as well as Lisa Frank Crocs & Jibbitz lol
I just saw the crocs and it's the first time I've honestly said "I want some Crocs now".
Lisa doesn’t have the business acumen. And she’s very difficult to work with. Don’t see it happening.
"Just get over it."
"I'M CURED!"
I died. 😂
I had no idea any of this happened 😳 Thanks for some glitter-spangled dark history!
The overalls are amazing, btw, and you look fab as always!
Fun Fact, Spencer's gifts owns spirit halloween😅
Also Bailey, now is definitely the time to TREAT your inner child!♡♡♡
James was like "You're tearing me apart Lisa!" because he was finally held responsible for his actions and would lose his unlimited access to coke 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect lol 😆
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Bailey: His one true love! Coke! I mean money
Me: I mean coke does cost a lot of money
I did not hit her, I did not!! 🪑
In the 80's we had stickerbooks, I remember freaking out about the scented stickers and like felt or some icky material were the best.We would trade stickers, it was crazy.
And those puffy ones with the foam inside. 🥰
Don't forget bubbled stickers!
Yes! And the ones with squishy glitter inside!
The best were the fuzzy ones. I remember guinea pigs and cats.
My mom would check the clearance everytime she went to the stores. I was able to get a few pieces a year. But it was usually the pencils and folders. 😆
School supplies by Lisa frank were awesome. School supplies are so bland now too. All great things have a terrible history. Love your dark history series!!
The thought my grandmother probably worked at her dad's factory in Detroit never occurred to me and kind of freaks me out. It would explain why my grandmother disliked the products so much. I could pick anything I liked but Lisa Frank was off limits.
Yikes reminds me of Pepsi and my papa he was fired from there while my nana was pregnant and he Never bought anything Pepsi again
@@bf1442 exactly. My grandmother came from a large family and still had minor aged siblings during the war. They were teenagers but still under her parents care and I don't think she married my grandfather until after the war. She passed 4 years ago and it was one of those things I really didn't think to ask and I would actually have to ask my mother. I'm trying to do the math because my mom will be 70 soon and my uncle is around 75. I didn't see a can of Pepsi till I was about 10. We always had Coke.
This makes me so sad. I was a single mom with a daughter that adored all things Lisa Frank. We even came back to the US to stock up on LF school supplies when we lived in the middle east!
Haha, 5 star was fancy for me, Lisa Frank was not even a glimmer of hope 😅 Now as an adult I didn’t even remember Lisa Frank, glad my parents saved the money looking back on it!
Being a child of the 80s, stickers were everything!
Now that I'm an adult and can spend my money as recklessly as I please, I just treated myself to an overpriced Lisa Frank composition notebook. Idk what I'll use it for, but I adore it 😂🦄🐬🌈

Love it!!!
You are the GOAT of storytelling! My attention is rarely held for long but I’m all in from beginning to end.
Lol we had similar childhoods, my family could not afford the Lisa Frank school supplies either. I was so excited when I found a Lisa Frank zipper binder at a thrift store😂
Same!
Same 😂
I interviewed with the Lisa Frank Company when I was going to U of A in Tucson in the 90s. This was like memory lane watching this...I love that you included pics of their funky building. I got the impression it was a toxic work environment just from the in person interview. But I didn't know the rumors and was new there and just looking for a job and was dazzled by the Lisa Frank name. I very much got the vibe that I wasn't hired because of fatphobia. I'm 90% sure I interviewed with Rhonda because I was interviewed by the head of HR which was a VERY condescending woman. I was more than qualified but they were pushing this "image" that I kept feeling during the interview alluded to my physical size. But for being such a "creative" company - they had a VERY cold work environment and VERY rigid rules which I had been given a handout of their "rules" to go over and had already got the impression just from that that I didn't want to be hired anyway. Companies like this rely on their name and hype - a lesson people now should take heed of. Just because you see hype around a company doesn't mean it's a great company to work for.
I remember always seeing help wanted ads in the classified section of the Tucson Citizen!
The Rainbow Gulag.
Can we talk about how I love when Bailey matches with the color butterfly hair clips to her video… super cute, girl!! 🤗🥰
Sooo we def need a Lisa frank makeup look ❤
Agreed
I was a teen in the 80's and her stickers were hanging up in Spencer's. I loved them! The stickers were essential for putting on envelopes because back then, we wrote letters.
Yes! 💪🏻☺️ I love writing letters still.
Yes! I still put stickers on the back of my letters and bills. 😁
Yes! “LYLAS”
I still write letters. 😊
Bailey may just be the most beautiful women ever! She’s so pretty! ❤
Yes, sticker collecting was a huge deal in the early 80s. At least it was in Southeastern Michigan when I was in elementary school. Collecting them in photo albums and trading them at lunch, after school, and at slumber parties. If the stickers were anything beyond a standard sticker they were more desirable...bright colors, googly eyes, puffy stickers and scratch and sniff.
Deffo 👍👌🙏😂💜💜💜💜
It was the same in our small southern town. I had binders of stickers by 1991 than suddenly the craze disappeared, although I carried it on till the middle of junior high.
It was here in the UK too. I remember the bubble type stickers with glitter. Used to collect loads.

When I went to the art center design college, Lisa Frank was the only job they would promote and guarantee us after graduation, but we had heard all the rumors and a few of my friends went to work for her and confirmed it was toxic
I grew up in the 80's and every year I couldn't wait for school to start so I could get new Lisa Frank supplies! Everything I got was from her trapper keepers folders pencils pouches erasers sticker etc. Love all her designs!
What's so annoying is life is mostly back to basics again. I got to live in Lisa frank Era. Kids get very little choice with their folders and notebooks now..
Yeah, a lot of schools do that whole “take the supplies, mix them up, and then give them out when you need them” thing, so getting kids personalized stuff is useless. I’m glad I never had to do that in school with my folders and stuff.
@@dramaminedream22 source?
@@dramaminedream22 I’m a teacher and I’ve never heard of this… Genuinely curious about it though, do you have any articles I can read?
Yes! Now that my daughter is starting middle school and CAN pick out cool, unique supplies, she's too conditioned to pick out boring solid colored stuff. 😔
My 4th grader had to have 1 red, 1 grn,1 blue, 1 purple folder. Oh and they got to choose 1 fun notebook. But the rest all had to the color the list said
My parents got me a loom when I was a child, but it wasn't the full size one, it was a small one that I could hold in one hand while working with the other. Then again, thanks to such gifts I knew how to sew plush toys, pillows, blankets and so on at age 5/6.
..?
FUN FACT! The old Lisa Frank building now is used as an artillery weapon factory. A massive rainbow building used to make bombs and gun powder 😂
Why did I cackle at this tho 😭
I live close by to it.. idk where you got that info but it’s definitely empty lol
@@illyraleonas do I. I too would like the know where that ridiculous story came from. It's literally an empty building with old Lisa frank stuff on it lol
What's more, I now also work right down the street from it. So I see it daily. Lol
😮
Does anyone remember those fuzzy posters we colored? I had a few Lisa Frank ones! And ONE folder that I used for years. - it was the hugging penguins 🐧
Yess the velvety ones! I remember coloring one that had the Lisa Frank tiger cubs :D and awe that folder sounds cute! A must-have
I had those. Not Lisa frank but other ones haha. They were fun.
YES I was literally scrolling for this comment 😂
Also, I believe they were puffins not penguins lol
I forgot all about that til you mentioned it. I felt them instantly when I read that.
I’m from Tucson! When I saw this title I screamed, I was like “she’s going to have to say Tucson!” The Lisa Frank building is still up but blocked off. My coworkers mom worked there and she says that Lisa Frank would hire undocumented folks and then call border patrol to avoid paying the employees 😞
I'm in Phoenix. That's so messed up she would do that!
Girl im from Tuc too I was thinking the same thing when I saw the title!
I've heard a few vile things about Lisa, including that she is racist & homophobic.
I went to college at U of A and interviewed there through a temp agency
I would NOT put it past her!!! I remember when the Lisa Frank building finally closed up... Sigh
Lisa Frank was my entire childhood from coloring books to pencil cases lolll I only ever got the coloring books tho because of the price 💔💔💔
They sell the coloring books and sticker pads at Dollar General for as low as a $1 now🤌
This was my first Bailey episode and I now wait every week for new episodes of both podcasts. I love Lisa frank designs and always wondered what happened. Thank you Bailey for all of your hard work.
When my daughter was younger I bought her some Lisa Frank stuff because my inner child needed it. She didn't care for it. The colors are definitely still relevant but the images scream 90s. So it really only appeals to us millenials. I don't see it being successful with kids today unless they update some things. Maybe that's why she brought her teenager on board.
Finally! I loved Lisa Frank as an elementary school kid. You’ve mentioned this several times and I am so excited to finally hear the story!
Saaaaame!
The last 2 years o have really seen her stuff in the stores, this is the time for her to make a full comeback!
Girl!, you won! Congratulations!
I think her comeback has come and gone.
This episode popped up again and I can’t help myself from watching it again!….
#1 Bailey is such an amazing story teller
#2 I freakin loved Lisa Frank’s EVERYTHING as an 80’s baby! It was an obsession, thanks for taking us down memory lane! 🦄💕🐼
I had a giant sticker collection book when I was a kid. I was obsessed with stickers. We traded them like baseball cards.
Me too! I still love stickers!!!
I still have my sticker book!!😊
@@danajohnson4757 Me too. It's still growing, in fact. (Jan Griffiths).
