The VHSummer is in full effect, Tapeheads, and the too groovy 80s-lovin’ crew over at Afterschool Spectral is ready to help you ring it in rewind-right with their brand new BEACH BABE VHS pin! The L.A.-based outfit recently released this analog-driven enamel creation with “bright pastels, big sunglasses, and a beckoning blonde who just wants to party” translated into the shape of a tape as a “tribute to those wild teen sex comedy tapes of the '80s/'90s that used to rule the video store.” You know we can dig it.   Lookin' GOOD.
