Snap! Y2K: The Happy Face Party
Recommended
Don't Miss
Few things have had a chokehold on me quite like the Happy Face motif in the early aughts. Smiley items in my childhood bedroom included a Happy Face landline phone, Happy Face patterned sunglasses (yellow-tinted lenses of course), and a Lisa Frank Happy Face lunch box. I was obsessed. That's why this week's Snap! Y2K party feels like the smiley-themed birthday party I never had. Show up in full black, yellow, neon, and tie-dye garb and dance your face off to nostalgic hip-hop, rock, R&B, rave, and pop jams. This is the only acceptable occasion to yell "smile" at someone.
