Use of "Hoodie, " "Scrunchie" Before 1990

Here's one for T & S: The Oxford English Dictionary is seeking an example of the use of the word "hoodie" before 1990 and "scrunchie" before 1989:

Words or phrases which appear on the Appeals List are those currently being drafted or revised for the OED for which the documentary evidence is incomplete. Often these are slang or colloquial items which cannot be researched in specialist texts and are most likely to be found by a general reader in non-specialized or popular literature...

hoodie (n.: a hooded jacket, sweatshirt, or other garment)
antedate 1990...

scrunchie (n.) antedate 1989...

Please send submissions to oed3@oup.com

This and other interesting word news appears in the OED Newsletter.
