Remember When All You Wanted Was Your MTV? The perfect gift for the music fan or child of the eighties in your life.

Named One of the Best Books of 2011 by NPR - Spin - USA Today - CNBC - Pitchfork - The Onion - The Atlantic - The Huffington Post - VEVO - The Boston Globe - The San Francisco Chronicle

Remember the first time you saw Michael Jackson dance with zombies in "Thriller"? Diamond Dave karate kick with Van Halen in "Jump"? Tawny Kitaen turning cartwheels on a Jaguar to Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again"? The Beastie Boys spray beer in "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)"? Axl Rose step off the bus in "Welcome to the Jungle"?

It was a pretty radical idea-a channel for teenagers, showing nothing but music videos. It was such a radical idea that almost no one thought it would actually succeed, much less become a force in the worlds of music, television, film, fashion, sports, and even politics. But it did work. MTV became more than anyone had ever imagined.

I Want My MTV tells the story of the first decade of MTV, the golden era when MTV's programming was all videos, all the time, and kids watched religiously to see their favorite bands, learn about new music, and have something to talk about at parties. From its start in 1981 with a small cache of videos by mostly unknown British new wave acts to the launch of the reality-television craze with The Real World in 1992, MTV grew into a tastemaker, a career maker, and a mammoth business.

Featuring interviews with nearly four hundred artists, directors, VJs, and television and music executives, I Want My MTV is a testament to the channel that changed popular culture forever.

Just Love These Little Pads
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 6)
I use these everyday, at least twice a day and they are perfect for applying toner, etc. The little pads absorb liquid well so you don't use too much of something, or the liquid rolls off onto the counter, they fit perfectly on the ends of my fingers, they don't leave lint on my skin, and are thin enough to be used easily and well. They do not scratch my skin, they are not rough, and they don't stick to me. I use them only once and throw away. The price of them is reasonable and a box of them is always sitting in pantry. I've used them to applying antiseptic to cuts,, giving to my husband for dotting a razor cut, and as a protector inside a jewelry pouch. I just love these little pads.

Great cotton rounds and a great deal
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
What a great deal on cotton rounds. I use this daily to tone my skin and to remove my makeup. The cotton doesn’t break up on me and it doesn’t irritate my skin. Definitely a great choice for your cotton rounds

Great Quality Cotton Rounds at a Good Price
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
I use these cotton rounds regularly with micellar water to remove my makeup, and they work really well. They’re soft on the skin and effective without feeling rough or irritating. The amount you get for the price is a big plus. The rounds hold product well and don’t fall apart while using them, even when fully saturated. They make makeup removal quick and easy as part of my everyday routine. There isn’t much to improve—they do exactly what they’re meant to do and feel reliable for daily use. Overall, this is a solid product at a good price, especially if you go through cotton rounds often. I’d definitely repurchase.

Stitches Edges Indicate Quality
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
I like these ones because of the stitches edges. The cotton pad won’t fall apart or get everywhere because of the quality. Even if it’s soaked in product. Easy to use and store. There is a rough and smooth side. I use rough side more often.
