Hi! I'm a nerdy nobody and lousy webdev building a humble website where everyone is invited to reminisce, nominate, vote and award the popular culture icons that made us, including tech, toys, media, events, and more.

"CULTURA ICONICA : pop culture icons by popular vote"

• https://culturaiconica.org/

The final vote is intended as a collective nostalgia-infused "u-pick 'em" bingo night where every pick for your bingo cards is also a vote, and you score points for every final winner that you tick off.

It's -hopefully and if there's interest- coming this May and I'm looking for feedback.

Thanks for your time and support! ;)

The artstyle like this with round eyes with no pupils. I usually see it a lot in 2000s/2010s nostalgia, and i remember seeing comics like this in this artstyle and I really like this aesthetic.

I have been referring to it as "Papa Louie kinda vibes" because the pupil-less eyes kind of remind me of the employees character designs from the Papa games on CoolMathGames.

But is there a specific name for this style? Thank you

Like, I seriously wanna know who won those and the experience and everything.

Like who won that one Danimals sweepstakes from like, 2011 to meet Bella Thorne and the Sprouse twins and hang out with them on that cruise?

Or the Nickelodeon ones to win VIP tickets to the Kids Choice Awards and meet some of the stars?

Or any of the other Disney Channel ones to go to Disneyland or Disney World and hang out for 3 days with the cast of popular shows like Shake it Up or ANT Farm.

Also would like to see why these sweepstakes were even a thing in the first place and how they constructed them.

Not the quite 2000’s, but I hope you enjoy this ride, as much as you enjoy this accent. 😊

I live in Kansas, which is part of Tornado Alley, and almost every single year without fail, it would be a big thunderstorm during Day of Play. I mean, winds strong enough to shake my house and I could literally feel my bedroom window rattling. And like, majority of the state was under Severel Tornado Warning/Watch. What kid would wanna play in that kind of weather?

Besides, I always played outside in the morning on Saturdays before the storm came in. I'd have already had my outdoor thrills so I usually just switched to the station next door and watched the Disney Channel until it was 5pm and time for new episodes Victorious or True Jackson or BTR that they promised.

But what about you? Did you actually go out and play during Day of Play or were you like me and switched the channels?
