We all love Robin Sparkles
Born July 23, 1980 to Robin Charles Scherbatsky, Sr. (Eric Braeden, Ray Wise), who was intent on having a son, Robin was raised as if she were a boy. This ended when she was fourteen and Robin, Sr. caught her kissing a boy from her hockey team and realized he had a daughter after all. Robin then moved in with her mother; during that time she became a Canadian teen popstar and recorded a minor Canadian bubblegum pop hit called “Let’s Go To The Mall” under the name “Robin Sparkles”. After an accompanying music video and the ensuing year-long mall tour, she developed a serious aversion to shopping malls. Robin followed “Let’s Go To the Mall” with the “artistic follow-up” “Sandcastles in the Sand”. In this video, Robin as Robin Sparkles appears with Canadian actor Alan Thicke, her boyfriend (played by James Van Der Beek), as well as a special guest appearance by Tiffany. There was also a failed attempt at a variety show co-starring with Thicke. Sparkles also appeared on the Canadian educational children’s show Space Teens with Thicke where two teen girls traveling through space in a curling stone–shaped spaceship “solve mysteries using math” featuring the song “Two Beavers Are Better Than One” further parodying Canadians.
