Some cheesy quote from the film still lives in my brain, when Candace Cameron says that last summer her romance was a flame, and the current summer it is sparks.

About a week ago I mentioned that I'd come into a stack of The Dreaming comics, which is sort of a Sandman spinoff series/ official fanfiction thing. Apart from the gorgeous Dave McKean covers, it's nothing special. However, I promised to scan some of the ads, which are pretty 90's-tastic. Sorry it took a while, the last week has been busier than expected. Anyway: Movies/TV     Music    Video games         Misc.   Click for big.

I can't possibly imagine those being worn without the rainbow socks. I honestly can't decide whether the dude with palsy or the short guy trying to act tough is goofier. That woman, though. Were zebra pants that just sort of continued up your stomach a 90s thing or is it just her?

Can't you see some dude hopping down the street on spring shoes in Back To The Future's 1955? Also, how about SKIDZ plaid pants.  Me and my friends must have had tons of pairs of these, although we only wore the shorts, which were slightly less ridiculous looking in retrospect.

I always wondered why there were two ropes dangling from the bottom of the ski lift in the SKIDZ logo. E: Also, when I was a kid, bandana shirts were the coolest thing in the world. But I can't find a picture. They were basically like this, only they were a patchwork of a whole bunch of different bandanas (multiple designs and colours).

MTV was awesome in the early-mid 90's. Especially that summer they had the Mighty Beach House Tiki God do all their bumpers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg701zB6qTg Then in '97 Hanson and the Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys became popular and the downward slide began. Then this guy happened... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuaE4Wybgl4 Probably one of the first examples of why you should never put the internet in control of anything.

Didn't he just do his one guaranteed year (or half year?) from his contest and was never heard from again? Man, mid-90's MTV really was pretty good. I loved the first few seasons of Road Rules. So much better than The Real World.

There was some kind of instructor telling them to bounce around in a big circle or something, it was mesmerizing. They were all tanned and totally ripped so it looks like they just hired actors to look like they were doing it out of choice.

My biggest memory of Phantom Menace product tie-ins was the Pepsi cans. Like a good goon I drank a shitload of Mountain Dew at the time, as as such had to stare at Darth Maul's face all summer. Speaking of MTV, anyone remember Yack Live? Where they'd scroll a live AOL chatroom on the bottom half of the screen while a video played? It was exactly as awful as it sounds... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZL-csV0Wt0 Kevyn has a new favorite as of 03:21 on Sep 12, 2013 |

It may be Buzzfeed, but it's closer to a real article than just their usual aggregated meme list/linkbait: The Legend Of Legends Of The Hidden Temple, As Told By Kirk Fogg & Olmec quote:The contestants had no idea that the men who helped them cross the moat safely at the start of the show were the ones who made them cry if they were lucky enough to get to the Temple Run. I guess Legends hired a lot of pedos. "Uh, yeah, we're looking for a guy who will help little kids in shorts out of some water...where they'll be all wet...and then, later, you get half-naked, wear a mask, and jump out when they don't expect it to just grab them. Yeah, grab them, and drag them away into a back room." DrBouvenstein has a new favorite as of 04:28 on Sep 12, 2013 |

Ignoring the fact that it's basically every single youtube comment section ever made, there's definitely still companies out there that are really stupid when it comes to the internet - like the time 4Chan voted to name a new flavor of Mountain Dew to "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong", or that time we sent Pitbull to Alaska.

leidend posted:Yes, I saw a girl about 16 years old wearing some extremely high jeans today at the mall and had to withhold laughter. Similar to this outfit Don't complain about high waisted jeans! High waisted jeans = getting to wear comfy underwear instead of low cut stuff again. There's less of a chance when bending over of showing rear end crack too. Also, it means that there's more belly coverage, so more skin in other areas can be shown, specifically: underboob! Crop tops look okay with high waisted jeans and then there's the whole underboob thing. I personally just wear mine with a large baggy sweater over a long tank top because I'm a fat goony gently caress, but it's nice to not have to worry about whether a top is riding up. It's convenient as gently caress. Also, baggy jeans are a bitch to wear as a woman, without a belt. They also get ratty at the bottom a lot more quickly because they drag unless you cuff them and look like a dick bag with your Tripps or JNCOs cuffed.

I live in Portland and I see these often enough to notice them, so they're definitely "coming back" good god I wish they weren't, though edit: in all fairness, I also see twenty-something girls with stupid haircuts wearing the dresses that late-80's grandmas made for their granddaughters to wear to church on an obnoxiously regular basis, so my perspective is fairly skewed.

I feel awkward posting opinions about fashion though since I basically dress like Jesse Pinkman. He looked like he stepped out of the 90s in earlier seasons
