    The funny thing is I don't remember 90s style as being this hideous. This must be like the last dying gasps of 80s style, no?


    My favorite awesomely bad brand of 1990-ish era: Skidz.

    I can't believe they were charging $32 for a mesh body shirt - in 1991!? In today's money that must be at least $5,000....

    In all honesty, the "pirate shirt" ensemble in picture #11 basically ruined my life and now I have to go find a culvert somewhere to crawl into and die.

    I never would've guessed 1991. I would have guessed 1985. Then again, I still think of the 90s as being, like, yesterday.

    That was beautiful.


    I'm feeling a wee bit self conscious for being turned on by the underwear models. The one in the silk brief thingy dried up my hooha nice & quick though, all is good.

    Oh, International Male. How many hours have I passed, soiling myself in peals of raucous laughter, entertained by the images contained within your textured pages? (My dad somehow got hold of a subscription-I think one of his cronies did it as a joke, but anyway) What shines more brightly in my memory? Could it be the satin capes? Or the tan-thru man-kini bottoms? Or the tushy underwear with sewn-in padding, so as to create that oh-so-alluring silhouette? Or could it be the pirate regalia, intended for serious wear and not meant to be comic in any way?

    i love a wonky crotch - tim gunn and michael kors would have a field day talking about just how ill-fitting these trousers are.


    the 90s was a dark, dark time.
