Remember the good old days of the nineties? ah, 1994.

Doc Martens, multi coloured silk shirts, Pokemon, Street Fighter, Sailor Moon hits the North American airwaves (and it takes off in Canada! oh, Tuxedo Mask...), and an amazing phenomenon called "The Net" was sweeping the globe and finding it's way into home offices and PCs everywhere as the Commodore Computer quietly bowed out of existence.

Back when bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden showed us that it was cool, nay sexy, to be unwashed and dress like a depressed lumberjack, when Wacko Jacko married Elvis' baby girl, Lisa Marie, when adolescent boys and girls everywhere mourned the loss of their blond haired blued eyed poet, Kurt.

Ross and Rachel and the rest of the Friends at Central Perk took to the small screen, hypercolor shirts were embarrassing teenage year boys and girls in gym classes everywhere, and Calvin Klein declared that we could all smell the same!



In 1994 i was fourteen, and finding my way and my self in the eighth grade... a freshman in my small town high school. Living on the farm in BC, isolated from a lot of afterschool activities, i got a lot of my information about life, sex, music, and what was cool on the 30 minute school bus ride to and from school everyday. On that bus i learned things from the older girls that i had no business knowing at that age. I idolized the older girls who sat in the back of the bus, snapping their sugar free gum and laughing too loudly at the jokes the boys made.

One girl captivated me every morning. Her name was Rhonda, she had the longest thickest most beautiful hair i had ever seen and a white windbreaker jacket that was so clean and crisp. She was an only child and had no younger brothers to soil her pristine jacket. She may have been my first girl-crush, she was 3 years older than me and her parents were well off, the exact opposite of my barely-scraping-by-with-three-brothers existence that i had been living. And she always wore Exclamation Perfume. (Ex-cla-mation! Make a Statement...without saying a word) I am not ashamed to tell you that i knew this because i spent one afternoon smelling all the perfume in the drug store until i found her brand.

So, you can imagine my surprise when she got on the bus one morning and she wasn't followed by her signature scent! It was something else, something sweet and musky. To make a long story of bus stalking and purfume bottle sniffing short, it was CK 1, Calvin Klein's unisex scent.

For someone who only made $2.00 an hour babysitting, there was no way i could afford to wear it, and for a while i would save the pull out sniffy inserts in the magazines in the drug store... and eventually i somehow managed to get my hands on the knock off version of the scent. (I only ever owned knock offs until about 3 years ago when i finally shelled out $70.00 for a scent i love).

CK One has always had a soft spot in my heart, and so has Rhonda and her white windbreaker jacket. So, when i was asked if i was willing to giveaway a Limited Edition bottle of CK One with BUILT IN MP3 Speaker to a lucky Canadian Resident (Sorry, Canucks only on this one) i jumped at the chance!



This limited edition is available exclusively at Shoppers Drugmarts, but you can have this one!!
So why are they doing this? This fragrance has been relaunched, why:

The idea behind relaunch of the ck one fragrance is about bringing people together, regardless of their differences in age, culture, race or gender. It's about coming together, through the common and universal language of music.

sounds good? So, if you're a canuck and you want to win this bottle, drop me a line in the comments. As usual, a linkey-loo on your site will guarantee you another entry! (please make sure you let me know in the comments that you've linked on your site) But it doesn't end there, 2 other lucky Canadiano's will win this fancy schmancy Calvin Klein T-shirt!! Pretty sweet deal, huh? I thought so. If you're a crackbook facebook user, you can check out the CKOne page if not, you can head over to the Website for more details!

So, this contest will end Wednesday March 25th at 5pm Central time.

So, who wants to walk down memory lane??
