Here is perhaps my most memorable Yo-yo's moment: When I was in the eighth grade, my sister,(who is three years older than me) had a slumber party. One of her girlfriends wore a pair of multi-colored Yo-yos, which I noticed immediately. When evening finally arrived, all of the girls changed into their PJ's and settled in the family room for a night of television, games, etc. I snuck into my sister's bedroom, found her friend's Yo-yo's and slipped them on. It was wonderful...the colorful straps over my toes, the squishiness of the heels as I walked across the floor. I was in shoe heaven! All of that only lasted for a few minutes, though--until one of the girls from the party happened to walk down the hallway and catch me in the act. Ordinarily, it probably wouldn't have been such a big deal--were it not for the fact that one of my sister's girlfriends had just caught me (her little brother) wearing a pair of Yo-yo's. All the girls rushed in to look and laugh, and I got in all kinds of trouble with my Mom. At the time, it was a horribly embarrassing experience--although today, as a very open crossdresser, I look back on it with fond memories. I, too, would love to see Yo-yo's make a comeback.(Incidentally, I never did get a pair of genuine Yo-yo's. The closest I came was wearing a pair of cheap K-mart knock-offs that looked similar, but were not nearly as well made!)
