I collect ugly hats, and oh my god, these are the perfect set of uglies. They're like bulldogs - so ugly they're cute. The Jamiroquai hat? The tall Dr. Seussy hat? I WANT THEMMMMM
"Did people actually get laid in the '90s?" - not the early 90s. Remember we were still getting through the AIDS epidemic -- the purpose of fashion was clearly to keep the hotties away.
@wilmawonker: "Did people actually get laid in the '90s?" - not the early 90s.
Speak for yourself -- I spent a lot of delightful hours peeling flannel off long-haired hotties and scheming ways to keep their motorcycle jackets for myself.
Ah, I've just outed myself as another 30something who still wears her Docs and square eyeglass frames, haven;t I?
I'm beginning to think that my long-time John Corbett crush ( I used to fantasize that I'd some day have a guy like him as a long-term boyfriend) is actually me crushing on a Douche-bag*
I am so heart for John Corbett (when and only when he has short hair). My boyfriend is a lot like the character he played on SATC and the character he plays on United States of Tara. So when I watch those shows I totes pretend he is my boyfriend.
Doesn't this just prove to you that there are just no rules to current fashion, and we should wear whatever WE want, and not dress according to what some "fashion expert" tells us is in? Because clearly that's all relative.
It's kind of sad to admit... but these people had nothing on me back in those days. *It was intense.* Take, for instance, the outfit I wore for my first day of classes in 1995 (I remember it because I planned for days):
Knee length vinyl lace up boots, shiny white leggings with silver polka-dots, cut-off shorts, a studded belt, a "Saturday Night Fever" baby doll shirt with a poofy vinyl vest over it, a choker I made from the bottoms of my jeans with a plastic winged "monster woman" attached to it, and my hair in pigtails with braided loops. Oh, and the glitter. So, so much glitter. I was a *vision*, let me tell you.
@GatsbysLover: If you think that's cool, you should have seen the globe earrings I made myself (showcasing both my lack of talent at painting and my poor grasp of geography), and the skirt I made out of duct tape.
@marshmallory *is a weapon of mass consumption*: Somewhere at my parents house. Some of it apparently still exists since my sister borrowed it to dress as Rayanne from My So-Called Life for Halloween.
Did any you UK/Irish Jezzies read J17? I swear these fashion spreads look just like some I remember from there. And I feel like Duff was always in J17. Oh the 90's, how I miss you.

You were way cooler than me. I wore Gap khakis and those little butterfly clip things.
