The stickers always worried me as a child, cause, what if I stuck it somewhere and then didn't like it there anymore? So they just stayed in the book and now I'm an indecisive adult
I know, they did not erase yet I HAD to have them. I literally had to take the "eraser topper" off my pencil to erase things! When I inevitably lost a "topper" I remember being SO sad. 😉
Totally agree that pre-teens are a huge and missed demographic. I do think that children are always ready to grow up as fast as possible (no matter the generation)...but I can't imagine being exposed to this level of social media/aesthetics as a pre-teen girl... I would be in a hurry to be considered an 'adult' too. I think it's so important to make a space for that age-group and not limit their options.
I so agree with this. Even with music, there is no teen music anymore. everything is either for very young children (baby shark) or straight up adult music. pre-teens and teens are being super neglected.
@@bd3966I know right. This is literally with animated series and movies: they’re either for young kids or adults. I barely get to see any targeted towards teens.
It's so strange that people online have a hobby of dunking on tween girl interests but yet also s1ut shame tween girls for trying to grow up faster than they should.🙃
I’m born in 2004 I knew of this brand bc of my mom who is a 80s baby (90s kid), so I grew up on Lisa frank and a majority of the 90s stuff she grew up on.
My school supplies were full of Lisa Frank products. Back to school shopping was never a chore for me, since I got to pick out as many as her products as possible. 🌈💞
I remember finding a ton of Lisa frank in early-mid 2010’s dollar stores and gas stations for some reason. I had a ton of coloring books and some of their puzzles!
Right? I swear Lisa Frank was still a thing in the 2010s, or maybe it was knockoff, because the designs are familiar and I swear I got a couple folders and notebooks.
Yeah! Like they weren’t as big, but they still existed and were pretty easy to find in like dollar general and gas stations. I was able to get stickers, puzzles, coloring books, cheap stationery sets, etc when I was younger.
I live in Tucson and have heard many horror stories of Lisa Frank the person. I attended a party once where she was there and was told by the host I absolutely could not acknowledge who she was or mention her work whatsoever to her for fear of how she would react. I understand wanting to keep anonymity, but you can set boundaries without being rude
My nana used to work at the factory here in Arizona. She would bring home pencils, stickers, folders, notebooks, and erasers. I heard she would get other things as well but that was before I was born 🙃
I live in Canada and it was very popular here too. Despite my childhood being in the 2010's I remember very vividly me and other girls having a lot of the old 90's style merch which was sold at I think the Dollar Store and Walmart and such if I remember correctly.
I live in Northern Europe and the morphe collab was the first time I heard of the brand despite being a 90s kid, so… not outside (north) America probably?
Definitely had it in England as I loved these things growing up. Maybe it was less popular than the US though? Not sure, but I personally loved the brand.
Very popular in the Philippines as well. I remember in my elementary years (90s), my peers had bags, notebooks, Trapper Keepers, stickers, pencil cases. I think I had her stickers too “coz that was only thing we could afford 😂 Lisa Frank was imported from the US and was more expensive than local stationery supplies
i had a lot of the Lisa Frank coloring books, seeing some of those girls gave me flashbacks with scent memories of sharp Crayola crayons and cedar wood from the box i kept all my coloring tools in. The surfer girl was my favorite, forgot she existed and now i want to get her tattooed 🫶🏽
I had a diary when I was 15 and the only reason I cherished it was because my grandmother gave it to me it's like she was the only person that could give me something like this and I would actually like it someone else not so much I wasn't a huge lisa Frank fan but that diary still holds a special place in my heart and my memories ❤ RIP Mama love and miss you.
I grew up in Tucson. When I was little I was showing my trapper keeper to my friend. She wasn’t impressed and it distressed her. She said “Yeah I’ve met her and she’s not nice. She’s mean to my parents and when I’ve met her she made me work too.” We were 8. Her parents were EVS workers at the Lisa Frank Factory.. Definitely racism as well that was fostered in her workplace.
in 2nd grade i had a lisa frank unicorn notebook, i had soo many stickers, coloring books, eraser toppers, and more! her art really inspired me to start drawing❤
I have a handful of vintage Lisa Frank pencils. Most were incidental (as I am a collector of vintage pencils), but I must say I do like the designs. :3
Lisa Frank came in to my life as a pre teen and remembering all those colourful stickers and notebooks was so nostalgic! Sadly now when I see rainbows, it has a different feel…….
You're right about those colors being pretty specific to the brand. I walked by a Starbucks that was inside a grocery store the other day, and I saw this coffee tumbler out of the corner of my eye and immediately thought, "That reminds me of Lisa Frank!" I had to stare at it for a moment, because it was bringing me back to my childhood. It was all one color: a very specific not-quite-turquoise not-quite-teal blue... but it was SPARKLY!!! OMG! So sparkly! I was immediately sucked back to the 90s à la Ego eating ratatouille.
Very interesting. I never really knew who she was but I moved to Tucson and now I work close to the Lisa Frank factory and see it everyday, which lead me to this video lol
I miss seeing Lisa Frank stationary supplies in stores. They stopped selling them while I was in Elementary School and I still can point out what designs I had in her notebooks, folders, and binders. I would love to buy her colorful animal stationary now 😢
I remembered I had some kind of Lisa Frank sticker book when I was younger. But I wasn't a big fan. I know my mom probably was. I've seen her old Lisa Frank cat notepad before. Then....I used it. 😅
This is so interesting to learn about. I have never heard of Lisa Frank, i don’t think that it was a ‘thing’ in the uk. So its interesting to learn about from someone who has no idea about it.
18:12 I was one of the lucky ones to get these cookies! At the beginning of 2024, me and my little sister were going to spend the nights at my grandmas, but before we went to her house we had to go to the store to get breakfast and lunch for the next day. And then she asked me if I wanted to get cookies for when we got to her house. And then, I saw the Lisa frank cookies!!! And it was the last one! I was so happy when I found it cause when I was younger, I was a big Lisa frank fan :)
In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, when I was an “upper grader” in elementary school and even into junior high, I swear I would have done almost anything for that folder with the rainbow Dalmatians…or the angel kittens…orrrrr the rainbow tigers hahaha. At the time, I thought I couldn’t have them because I was poor…like, I wouldn’t ever even bother to ask my mom for them when we were back to school shopping…but in retrospect, how much could a folder actually cost? I think I was probably being overly paranoid, right?
What are those little painting clips in the beginning?!? With the person with the giant paintbrush. I have a memory of it but can't put my finger on it! Feels like a dream lol
Oh, man, I had so many Lisa Frank folders and pencil holders and pens and pretty much any school supply you can think of when I was in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grade. But now as an adult, I look back at her stuff and thinks it just looks ugly! What was I thinking as a child?
I have quite a few Lisa Frank things when I was a kid, a folder, some stickers, a jewelry box where I store nailpolishes in, and a lunch box. It's the holographic raver aesthetic feel upon seeing it.
I feel like the human girl characters were out before 2010. I remember having a Glamour Girl folder or notebook back in the early 2000’s. I remember Star too 🤷🏾♀️
I struggled in school from kindergarten onward which made it a miserable place, but Lisa Frank school supplies made things a little brighter. Still gives me nostalgia despite being sandwiched between cruddy memories. 🥹
I'd sure like to collect a book of all Lisa Frank Characters, a book of all Fab Friends Characters, and a book of Lisa Frank in the drawings of her early life.
Wait so all along,in my childhood I was born in 1997,this whole ex husband lawsuit thing… I also hope I would one day get classic like,Lisa Frank items,I had some from my childhood and the coloring book which was ok somewhere in the 2010’s.
I watched a bailey sarian video on lisa frank and some topics you seem to brush over like the fact that her selling the native American artwork was exploitative
Ummmm just my 3¢..... BUT... I know that there was a really good documentary done on LF and her brand!!... ( dont recall what it was called)... But I remember her talking about a major issue she had was her tight controll/ micro management all made her want to creat and make everything themselves!! And now knowing that she should have focused more on licensing the characters and designs to any and all companies willing to pay for the licensing agreement, letting them make and sell the products, thus making a ton of money that way. Leaving her without any hassel dealing with stock, production, and overhead she had my keeping it all in house. Also I'm not sure if the law suits played a major roll in her not trying to make a major come back as of yet!! Because clearly the Market would be right there for her, even if she just reproduced everything she already made before !!!! Only this time being much older with a lot more disposable income to buy all the things!!
I met her at a frame store back in 2019 when she was picking up a piece and told her how much she influenced my artwork and how much of a fan I was since childhood and she looked me up and down and completely ignored me, said nothing and walked away, it was a very disheartening moment and did not expect for to be like that, but I guess it’s true what they say, don’t meet your heroes
Being ignored is the worst. I know. And I'm sorry that happened to you. Perhaps she wasn't mentally prepared to interact with fans. In that moment, she just wanted to be an ordinary woman shopping for art supplies. Please don’t take the rude attitude personally.
18:50 that is such a good line! I do miss shows directed at younger teens! I want my childhood back! Before everything was shifted to a riverdale tone😭😭
I personally didn't see ANY similarities in the apartment feuds...Colors were different, anyone can think of coloring cabinets different color from the next, and making a wall gallery was all the rage that time on Pinterest. That lady really reached for an empty argument.
It was the fact that both appartmebts where on the same building and she later got thrown out by the landlord and the landlord made a bed and breakfast out of it. I think that was all the drama
@@NattyRoseI’m so glad you explained this because I was really confused as to how the Lisa Frank loft would cause her to be evicted. That was really confusing to me. And I agree I don’t think the flats look the same.
The whole apartment/hotel thing is so confusing like... The instagram girl literally said Lisa Frank inspired some of her design? And the Lisa Frank loft literally pulls from old Lisa Frank Commercials (the kitchen cabinets so clearly just the rainbow lockers). Like you can't own the concept of rainbows and colour and maximalism 😑
I’m not a supporter of Lisa Frank but I don’t see how Lisa Frank copied Amina’s apartment. When they look way different from each other. Both of them don’t own the colorful and bright aesthetic. It reminds of the Taybeeboop and Kaarin issue.
100 percent agree. It was a ridiculous thing for that girl to claim, especially since she admitted her apartment was inspired by Lisa Frank, so doesn't that make her the copycat?
i think they had reasoning to be concerned but i was online as this was all going down and if i remember the situation correctly they straight up got evicted because their landlord wanted in on the lisa frank craze, so while they had gotten the approval to create the apartment of their dreams their landlord was perfectly comfortable taking that away to make a quick buck because of the very close resemblance
The nostalgia of going into a Walmart to go to the Lisa Frank section for all things stationary!! Lol then down the book aisle for a Mary Kate and Ashley book 💖
Idk abt the flat design, after all the creator was inspired by other existing very recognizable franchises, incliding lisa frank, so yeah? It was gonna look similar either way,
After learning how horrible she treated her staff at her workplace, I no longer look at her the same way as an adult. It totally tainted her fun art for me. Used to love her as a kid but not anymore. 🤷🏻♀️
@@novakayne6600 same here! 91 baby. For someone to make such fun art and to be so cruel it just makes the art have a whole new meaning. It really opened my eyes to how people truly are.
This was such a fun and nostalgic video! I was obsessed with this brand as a child. I remember when back to school season would come around, my parents would always buy me Lisa Frank supplies 😂 but I didn’t know there was controversy surrounding the new characters… I had so many stickers, notebooks, and binders with Angel on them lol.
The stickers always worried me as a child, cause, what if I stuck it somewhere and then didn't like it there anymore? So they just stayed in the book and now I'm an indecisive adult
VALID
😂😂😭 understandable
I feel this to the core, lol.
Haha me too. Unfortunately when I moved out, my mom cleaned out. Sadly my Barbie and LF memorabilia is now long gone.
this is exactly how i am, especially if i buy stickers from artists i follow online 😭
Lisa Frank was the genesis of my stationery obsession. Those erasers and pencil toppers didn't erase sh-t but I loved them nonetheless.
I know, they did not erase yet I HAD to have them. I literally had to take the "eraser topper" off my pencil to erase things! When I inevitably lost a "topper" I remember being SO sad. 😉

@@TsubahiI never liked either of those
You couldn't find a girl who didn't have at least one Lisa Frank notebook back in middle school
Me, because my family was poor and my mother hated the stuff 😅
How old are you. Hardly anyone in my middle school has any of their stuff. I certainly didn't
@@ClementineOlympia cuz she was tomboy
Or folder
I never had her stuff
Early 2000 child here. I wanted all her stuff soooooooo bad. I had a few of her items & loved them. This brand is def apart of my childhood.
I grew up in the 2010s and I wasn't a huge fan of Lisa Frank. However, I did own a few coloring books and might've owned a folder or two.
i'm was born in '04 but i actually didn't know how popular the brand was until a few years ago, was obsessed with it as a kid though lol

Wish I had the colored paper for my daily work notes now.
I’m a teacher and I’ve noticed that school supplies are a bit dull. Where’s all the cool stuff? I freaked out last year when I found a Trapper Keeper.
I remember just HATING the Lisa Frank stickers as a kid because I hated how colorful they were. Looking back, I don’t know what my problem was lol

The whole apartment/hotel thing is so confusing like... The instagram girl literally said Lisa Frank inspired some of her design? And the Lisa Frank loft literally pulls from old Lisa Frank Commercials (the kitchen cabinets so clearly just the rainbow lockers). Like you can't own the concept of rainbows and colour and maximalism 😑
I commented the same thing. If you're inspired by Lisa frank, how can you claim lisa frank ripped you off. Girl makes no sense
I'm pretty sure she pulled the Race Card.
I’m not a supporter of Lisa Frank but I don’t see how Lisa Frank copied Amina’s apartment. When they look way different from each other. Both of them don’t own the colorful and bright aesthetic. It reminds of the Taybeeboop and Kaarin issue.
100 percent agree. It was a ridiculous thing for that girl to claim, especially since she admitted her apartment was inspired by Lisa Frank, so doesn't that make her the copycat?
i think they had reasoning to be concerned but i was online as this was all going down and if i remember the situation correctly they straight up got evicted because their landlord wanted in on the lisa frank craze, so while they had gotten the approval to create the apartment of their dreams their landlord was perfectly comfortable taking that away to make a quick buck because of the very close resemblance
Why don't you support her? Is it her as a person (if so why) or is it just not your style?
Finding a vintage Lisa Frank anything while thrifting gives me the BIGGEST high 😂
Same!
The nostalgia of going into a Walmart to go to the Lisa Frank section for all things stationary!! Lol then down the book aisle for a Mary Kate and Ashley book 💖
omg! I remember those folders from elementary school 📁 & the stickers!
You either had Lisa Frank or Hello Kitty 😂
I had a couple of Lisa Frank coloring books and I think I had a folder or two back when I was in elementary school.
You called me out because a Lisa frank and hello kitty coloring book
When I found out HK was Japanese (I was an anime fan) I tried to pick it up but there was too much HK msrch out there and stuck with LF
Idk abt the flat design, after all the creator was inspired by other existing very recognizable franchises, incliding lisa frank, so yeah? It was gonna look similar either way,
Im from Panamá 🇵🇦 and always love all my stationary and school supplies from Lisa Frank in the 90s . So nostalgic and whimsy ❤
After learning how horrible she treated her staff at her workplace, I no longer look at her the same way as an adult. It totally tainted her fun art for me. Used to love her as a kid but not anymore. 🤷🏻♀️
This part. She was a tyrant. She's awful. Kinda sad, because her art was PLASTERED all over my childhood. 1991 here.
@@novakayne6600 same here! 91 baby. For someone to make such fun art and to be so cruel it just makes the art have a whole new meaning. It really opened my eyes to how people truly are.
This was such a fun and nostalgic video! I was obsessed with this brand as a child. I remember when back to school season would come around, my parents would always buy me Lisa Frank supplies 😂 but I didn’t know there was controversy surrounding the new characters… I had so many stickers, notebooks, and binders with Angel on them lol.
