❀°𐐪 hi. welcome to my cozy little corner of the internet. i’m hailey, a nostalgic soul who’s been in love with video games, anime, and art ever since i was little ♡
the y2k era is my quiet ache — a time of sparkly gel pens, butterfly clips, shimmery lip gloss, vibrant hope, and flirty vibes dripping with sexiness that still tease out my sassy, sultry edge. its glittery, seductive charm and soft, carefree warmth felt like pure magic, a wonder i can’t help but long for.
this blog is my warm little retreat where i reminisce, pour out my thoughts, gush over my loves, and invite you to snuggle up with me. so grab a warm drink, settle in, and let’s weave our hearts and memories together in this cozy corner <3 x 𐑂°❀
~²ººº~ 90s girl. y2k obsessed ~²ºº⁹~
₊˚ʚ glitter & gel pens = my love language ɞ˚₊
🩷 interests? i'm super into game design, drawing, and fashion. i love chatting about them. diving into digital art, photography, VFX, making music, coding, and creating cute lil sites and graphics is my jam. i enjoy psychology and philosophy too. honestly, i just adore learning about anything that sparks my curiosity. plant life, pond life, whatever grabs my attention. i've also loved writing since the early 2000s and never really stopped <3
🌐 childhood internet memory? hanging out on Sonic forums and MSN Messenger after school, chatting about games, life, and whatever weird little dramas popped up. we passed around fanart, shared opinions, and hyped each other's OCs like it meant everything. it wasn't just sharing, it was being part of something 💞
💖 obsessions? glitter is basically my personality. add in scented gel pens, pink lip gloss, tight tanks, low-rise jeans, anything y2k-coded, and u've got my whole aesthetic moodboard. i'm in love with all the styles and art directions that scream early 2000s ✨
🎀 likes? glittery stuff, tasty snacks, and hot girls. especially iconic anime and video game babes. i love drawing and designing them for the aesthetic rush. i'm super into fashion design too. i used to make custom lingerie like bras, thongs, panties, and bracelets back in the day 💗 i've been thinking about getting back into it lately, just for the thrill of creating something sultry and sparkly again 🍑
🎧 fav music genre? i honestly vibe with whatever hits. genre doesn't matter if it feels right. but pop punk, punk rock, emo, 80s synthwave, and lofi are my comfort zones. moody instrumentals + chill beats + a hint of nostalgia = perfection 🖤🎶
🎮 fav games? i like sooo many games, the list could go on forever, so here are just my top favs that mean the world to me. Sonic Adventure (1998), Sonic Adventure 2 (2001), Sonic Heroes (2003), Unreal Tournament 2004, Halo: CE (2001), Halo 2 (2004), Halo 3 (2007), Halo: ODST (2009), Gears of War (2006), Gears of War 2 (2008), Gears of War 3 (2011), Geometry Wars (2005), Marble Blast Ultra (2006), Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (2000), Fuzion Frenzy 2 (2007), Shenmue (1999), Shenmue II (2001), Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate (2004), Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball (2003), Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (2006), Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 (2016), Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation (2017)… and sooo many more 💖
🕹️ fav consoles? Dreamcast, Original Xbox, and Xbox 360. these consoles mean the world to me. they changed my life 🤍🖤💚
🎮 game u wish more people loved? not one game in particular, but i seriously wish party games got way more love. like, Dead or Alive Xtreme might be playful, cheeky, and totally extra, but gathering ur friends, squishing onto the couch, and playing endless rounds of minigames while giggling and cheering? that's the kinda core memory stuff i live for 💕
📺 fav anime? i have a lot, but here's some of them. My Dress-Up Darling, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Death Note, Witch Hunter Robin, Yakitate!! Japan, The Prince of Tennis, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Love Hina, Ikki Tousen, Sword Art Online, High School DxD, Heaven's Lost Property, Girls Bravo, To LOVE-Ru, Eiken, Dagashi Kashi, Shomin Sample, Monster Musume, My Wife is the Student Council President, Oshi no Ko, My Hero Academia, Bladedance of Elementalers... and more.
Dragon Ball Z and Naruto are classics that shaped my taste and life, but i'm also madly in love with My Dress-Up Darling. it's more of a romantic slice-of-life comedy with flirty ecchi elements, and i adore Marin so much! everything about the show is just wholesome, flirty, cheeky, and full of heart 💖✨ it gives me all the cozy feels. the whole vibe is super sweet 💗
💫 fav anime character? i'm obsessed with Marin Kitagawa. like, seriously. i even dress like her sometimes and my whole room has posters of her everywhere, and my monitor, laptop, even my accessories are stickerbombed with her. she's got that super cute, y2k baddie energy i'm totally obsessed with. her personality? it's like looking in the mirror, bold, flirty, expressive, radiant, she's just irresistible!!! i luvv her 💕🩷
📼 fav movie of all time? i've watched so many movies and loved a bunch, but i never had one true fav, until Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024). it's now my ultimate fav.
but A Bug's Life (1998), though? that one's been in my heart since childhood. after seeing it, i started building tiny worlds for ants: leaf bridges, twig tunnels, ant-sized hideouts tucked into corners of my backyard. it sparked my obsession with little ecosystems, pond life, insects, and cozy miniature worlds.
but... did the movie awaken that curiosity? or did i love it because that curiosity was already a part of me? my sister's into botany too, so maybe it runs in the family. i'll never really know, and honestly, i adore that mystery just as much as the memory 🌿💚
🖊️ font ur obsessed with? i love handwritten fonts that feel natural and actually reflect my vibe, like they're straight outta my gel pen diary. something expressive, quirky, full of tiny personality sparks. back in the 2000s, i even dreamed of turning my own handwriting into a custom font but never got around to it 💔 i still decorate my text with mini hearts and cute lil details whenever i can. but when i want something clean that still feels cute, Calibri's always been my go-to. soft, simple, and just enough roundness to make it feel warm 💌
❤️ fav person? me, obviously. duh. but also my friends, my internet besties, the anime babes i'm crushing on (they're all girls and all flawless), and everyone else i love! 💕
♀️ fav fashion style? i've always gravitated toward that sultry 2000s glam-casual vibe — tight tanks, low-rise jeans hugging hips, glossy pink lips, rhinestone belts, and boots with a bit of edge. soft-toned tops, tousled hair, fruity perfume… it was a whole mood back then, and i dressed like that constantly (sometimes still do!). the style had the same bold, flirty energy Megan Fox gave off in Transformers. confident, glam, and unapologetically hot 💗
i totally vibe with scene, emo, and goth aesthetics, and sometimes i mix all the styles into one dreamy outfit. dramatic eyeliner, glitter-covered accessories, black lace… i eat it up. i've also got a serious soft spot for pink thongs and sugary-sweet lingerie that smells like candy dreams 💗🤍💜 but honestly, i adore so many fashion styles. if it's bold, nostalgic, flirty, or dripping in sparkle, i'm already in love <3 🖤✨
🩷 fav color? blue, pink, and white 💙🩷🤍 blue for dreamy skies and calm moods, pink for sparkle, sass, and flirty energy, and white for that clean, soft glow that pulls everything together. i used this combo a lot on my blog and forums in the 2000s. they're the aesthetic heartbeat of my early internet era 🦋
🍓 fav fruit? STRAWBERRIES! i've loved them since i was a kid. the taste is pure pleasure, the shape adorably tempting, and that juicy red glow paired with their plush, lush texture? total sensory bliss. back in my sorority and sleepover days, they weren't just snacks… they were part of some very flirty, very 18+ games with the girls that got steamy fast. let's just say they saw things… and absolutely earned their title as the fruit of temptation. sweet, sultry, and always dressed to tease. forever the flirty crown jewel in my fruity little kingdom. mwahh x 🌸🍓
🍦 fav ice cream flavor? strawberry forever 💖 it's sweet, flirty, and just pretty. definitely my go-to. but vanilla, chocolate, and mint? i love those too. they each hit a different mood and honestly, i need the whole squad in my freezer 🍓🍌🍫🌿🍨
💻 fav OS? Windows XP and Windows 7 forever 💜 XP's chunky buttons and blue-silver vibe are pure nostalgia. it reminds me of forums, pixel icons, and simpler times. but Windows 7? that's where i fell hard for the Fruity Aero aesthetic. glossy, dreamy, glass-like windows and a sleek UI with endless customizability. it felt like a glam makeover for my desktop 💖
📎 fav browser? Firefox 🩷 i used to ride hard for Internet Explorer. i loved that shiny blue 'e' icon, it's still my fav honestly. but it was a total virus magnet lmao. i eventually made the switch to Firefox, and i've been using it ever since. reliable, customizable, and way less drama. she's been my web BFF for years <3 🔥💕
💬 first social media ever used? MySpace was the start of it all for me ✨ i miss my sparkly profile sooo much — the glitter gifs, autoplay songs, and customizing my layout with fonts and colors. but more than anything? i met so many cool people on there who were into all the same things as me. we bonded over music, anime, fashion, and internet humor. God, i miss the old days of social media and the people too. it was such a magical time 🖤
🗨️ do u still remember ur AIM username? yeah, it was something like xXHaileyBabieXx or close to that anyway. and yes, the Xs were mandatory, lolll. but honestly, i had so many usernames back then.
📀 do u still own any CDs? yes, just one, but it's a total relic. it has "Hailey's Dirty Little Data Disk" scribbled on it with doodles all over — stars, hearts, lips, a pair of boobs, a butt, and Sonic (for reasons unknown, lmao), and random titles like Hailey's Tease.exe, Hailey's 2AM Mix, Hailey's Red Thong Diaries, and just… Butts. i didn't even plan to keep it, it just somehow survived all the clean-outs and chaos over the decades. now? it's weirdly precious, too loaded with memories to ever let go of 💗
📱 cell phone u had in the 2000s? i had a few, but the one that still sparkles in my memory? the legendary T-Mobile Sidekick 😭💖 that little swivel screen was pure magic back then. mine had a rhinestone-studded case that sparkled like it had its own personality, plus a dangling Hello Kitty charm that jingled every time i flipped it open. gahh, i miss those days so much… early mobile life was a whole vibe 💕
🧃 fav 2000s snack or drink? honestly, i didn't really mess with junk food back then. i've always kept it healthy and stayed fit.
📼 YouTube rabbit holes u fall into? old AMVs totally pull me in. they're chaotic, emotional, and such a perfect snapshot of internet culture from back in the day. think angsty anime clips, dramatic music overlays, and sparkly transitions that scream 2006 core 🖤🎶
🌐 if u had a GeoCities site, what was on it? it was classic early internet vibes, glittery gifs everywhere, MIDI autoplay tunes that kicked in the moment the page loaded, and hot anime girls seductively posing in dangerously low-rise outfits that definitely leaned into my flirty side. and the guestbook? filled with sweet little messages from internet besties, random usernames, and a whole lot of "ur site is sooo cute!!" 💖
🔤 fav quote? i've got a bunch, but one that comes to mind is from Cortana in Halo 2, "Don't make a girl a promise… if u know u can't keep it." it's sharp, emotional, and hits hard even outside the game. betrayal, trust, vulnerability — it's all packed in just one line. definitely one of the most iconic lines in gaming 💔
🎧 song that defines ur childhood? there's honestly a whole playlist, so i'll just pick two randoms. Avril Lavigne – Sk8er Boi and Linkin Park – Crawling. one was all pop punk sass and rebellious vibes, the other was raw emotion and introspection. together? they basically narrated my childhood energy, flipping between eyeliner and angst, headphones in, world off 🖤
💤 what do u think about before falling asleep? usually i rewind the day. conversations, tiny moments that linger. then my mind slips into my 2000s memories: the friendships, the adventures, the places. finally, i drift into imagining a peaceful world. soft, quiet, kind. no chaos, no noise. just quiet warmth.
and when i say quiet warmth, i sometimes start imagining myself in Japan, surrounded by kindness. i see passionate developers creating games with so much love, building worlds that truly move people. Japan's shaped so much of the culture i adore. they've invented some of the most iconic characters, art styles, and music in gaming history. oh, and anime too. it fills me with quiet admiration, like my thoughts are floating in a gentle, glowy dream 🌸
🌌 fav place to daydream? my balcony on a silent day. just me, the soft rustle of trees, and the faint sound of birds in the distance. it's the perfect little escape from everything. no screens, no chaos, just fresh air and a view that lets my thoughts drift wherever they want. it's where my mind feels lightest 🤍
🫦 what would ur bedroom look like if nothing held u back? honestly, i've never been held back. my room's already a full-on mood: spicy, steamy, sexy, and unapologetically me 🍑💗🔞
🔒 a secret ur comfortable sharing? it wouldn't really be a secret if i gave it all away :p but fine… here's one (well, one of many).
picture one steamy night in my sorority, a flirty dare involving whipped cream, strawberry lip gloss, and a game so wild we nicknamed it the strawberry game 🍓🔞 the details? sealed behind high heels, late-night giggles, and one very specific wet stain… large, glossy, and way too sweet and tasty to be mistaken for just sweat 🍑💦
still makes me laugh. still kinda makes me blush ♡
🌟 who inspires u lately? creative rebels all the way, especially indie game devs who build visually rich, emotionally charged worlds just because they love it. they tinker in their bedrooms, chasing a feeling instead of fame. there's something magnetic about people who create for joy, for rebellion, for love. they remind me that passion isn't always loud, it's just relentless.
💫 what's a dream u haven't told anyone? building a cozy rooftop cafe inspired by anime aesthetics. soft lighting, leafy corners, and murals that feel straight out of a slice-of-life series 🌸☕ tucked in the back? a hidden LAN party zone where friends game late into the night 😀 x
✨ what keeps u motivated when everything feels ugh? flipping through old sketchbooks reminds me i've always had strange, beautiful ideas worth chasing. then i get lost in old MSN chats, IRC logs, forum posts, and little digital traces. quiet echoes of who i used to be. but most of all, it's remembering the great times i've shared with friends and the people who've wandered in and out of my life. that quiet glow of memory keeps me going when the world feels heavy 🖤❤️
🦋 if u could relive one day, which would it be? a summer afternoon in 2005, drawing with gel pens, music blasting from my MP3 player, and that electric feeling knowing the Xbox 360 launch was just a day away 🎧
🌧️ a memory u cry over sometimes? it's personal… one of those quiet, tucked-away moments that comes rushing back sometimes, soft and sharp all at once. maybe it was a goodbye, a conversation that lingered, or just a feeling that hasn't fully let go. i don't talk about it much. but some memories don't fade, they stay gentle, heavy, and painfully beautiful 🖤
🍓 what's something soft that makes u feel safe? fluffy character plushies that smell like strawberry and sound like they'd give great advice.
🎮 fav activities? going out with friends tops the list. LAN parties, drawing, jumping rope, kickboxing, football, tennis, basketball, ice skating, biking, roller skating, and sometimes skateboarding. it's a mix of chill, sporty, and a little chaotic. i luv it 🩷✨
🌙 late night guilty pleasure? scrolling through ancient DeviantArt galleries and finding old OC bios with sparkly borders, dramatic fonts, and messy energy. and yeah… casually viewing fanart of video game and anime babes. it's nostalgic, and weirdly comforting.
💗 what makes life worth it? God, my family, and friends. each new day is an opportunity to move forward and thrive, and i'm constantly reminded of that through the love and support around me. life is a gift, one i owe entirely to God's grace. looking back on everything since childhood, every moment, every joy, every challenge, i see His hand in it all. for that, i'm eternally grateful 🩷
🌻 any final words u'd want the world to hear? never be afraid to be urself. ur beautiful just the way u are. don't let ur originality fade, or ur individuality shrink to appease others. every person carries something irreplaceably unique, and u are deeply valuable and deeply loved.
life is too short, so don't waste it. work hard. be honest. show respect, not just to others, but to urself. introspect often. keep learning. embrace joy in the little things. cherish each moment, even the quiet ones. breathe deeply. live intentionally.
to all the girls reading this, stay feminine. beautify urself. a woman reflects Divine beauty. we nurture, we inspire, we raise the next generation. teach ur children good morals. protect them fiercely from the evils of society.
don't let anyone convince u ur not attractive or stylish enough. wear what makes u feel radiant. be flirty. be sexy. be unapologetically u. celebrate beauty, intimacy, sensuality, and sex, just keep them within the moral boundaries set by God, who adores beauty and created u with love. be respectful to men, especially ur future hubby. honor him, care for him, and keep him happy. love is a shared rhythm of kindness, trust, and devotion.
and when life feels heavy, when ur lost or lonely, whisper a prayer. even if it's soft, even if it's trembling. God hears it all. He's always near 💗 x
