Regression Obsession: Care Bears
Posted at 4:00 PM Mar 18, 2009
By Sharon SteelWe will begin by saying that we are more than a little bit troubled by this sexy-bear Halloween costume, which we found while we were searching for some classic Care Bear ephemera. Our Care Bear of choice was Funshine Bear, but we always imagined there was some incredibly fortunate '80s girl out there who also owned Bedtime, Birthday,
Cheer Bear, Friend, Good Luck, Grumpy,
Love-A-Lot, Tenderheart and Wish. Plus all the Care Bear cousins. She probably had them all propped up in her bed, like some kind of glorified Care Bear kingdom -- which would have been appropriate, given the inspiration behind the Care Bears story was rooted in the legend of King Arthur (Care-a-lot = Camelot; Love-A-Lot = Sir Lancelot; the heart-shaped table = the Round Table), according to the Internet Way Back Machine.
If someone could just gift us the Atari Care Bear video game, we would probably go into a comatose state of Regression Obsession in total and ultimate contentment.

I still have my Cheer Bear, I adored the Care Bears when I was younger. I actually saw that creepy costume back around Halloween and my friends and I were looking at all of the "sexy" options that we could make fun of.
