I never thought I would be an ‘80s kind of girl. In fact, in my youth, I went so far as to declare the ‘80s to be a horrible decade and said I hoped that sh*t NEVER came back in to style.
What an idiot I was.
However, now that I’ve embraced legwarmers and neon Flashdance shirts, I’ve transferred my old animosity for the 1980s to the 1990s. I look back at Lisa Turtle’s gear in old episodes of Saved By The Bell and think, thank god I’m not eleven anymore.
But if I have learned anything in my old age, it’s that fashion is 100% cyclical, and, inevitably, magazines and fashion designers will declare ‘90s style hot again and Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters will follow suit. Below is a list of items from Clinton Era Pt. 1 that I think are most likely to make a comeback in Clinton (and of course, Obama) Era Pt. 2…whether we’re ready for it or not.
The sweater vest – Dudes wore ‘em, chicks wore ‘em, and they were perfect for school pictures. If 90210 is coming back, these can’t be far behind.
Bib overalls – I have actually seen these in stores already, but I have yet to see someone actually wear them. I did, however, overhear a girl in Starbucks the other day say she wanted a pair for summer. Of course. Read More »

It always worked on TV. When Donna Martin and David Silver broke up on 90210, they stayed friends. When Ross and Rachel broke up on Friends, they were eventually fine hanging out with the group.
So is it any wonder that I always held out hope that the same things were possible for me?
Despite the fact that everyone told me differently, I always thought that my ex and I could defy all odds and stay friends long after our year long relationship came to an end. After all, it didn’t end badly. It just ended. Read More »

I love me some girly TV just like the rest of us. I don’t know if I love or hate Lauren Conrad, but I absolutely have to know what is going on in her life. But The Hills is not must-see TV for me. The one show that under no circumstances whatsoever I can’t miss, is 24. Jack Bauer would kick Spencer’s ass into the next millennium. And I’d cheer. Maybe he’d rip out his big, too white teeth one by one first….
Perhaps I’m a classic case of a good (ish) girl who falls in love with bad boys because seriously—when Jack starts round kicking, and pummeling some evil, leather jacket clad terrorist—I almost slide off my seat. It’s just so… masculine. Damn.
This season has been slightly disappointing—every episode looks like its going to be the “big one” where Jack takes out at least 7 people in a five minute time span, and then… nothing. But with only three episodes left, you can bet blood will be shed. Which is why this is the time to get together with your friends, and play the 24 drinking game.
There are many different variations of the game, but the most common rules are—Jack kills someone, take a shot. Jack says “damn it,” take a shot. Jack goes rogue, take a shot. And even though 24 is the best show ever of all time (and don’t try and argue with me—you are entitled to your opinion, but I will never be swayed), there are certain things you can count on that the script writers always throw in there. Which is why everyone ends up hammered by the end of this. Read More »
