'90s HOT: A picture thread.

Re: recursive Esquire cover just above. Mark Leyner! There's a "turn of phrase" gifted/plot challenged author who's star/publishing has fallen to disappointing lows after Tooth Imprints on a Corn Dog (1996). I dunno if he was considered hot in general culture, but My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist rocked my Donald Barthelme riven world in 1991...

The 90s look may also be technologically driven, just in terms of the images - - like, all the magazine covers are still shot on film (I think) and there's somewhat less digital fiddling with color balance and stuff. Obviously that was all in play but (I think) not anywhere to the degree as in the 00s. Reminds me indirectly of this: http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html

huh. that's actually sort of interesting - the orange and teal thing.

This is one of the worst videos I've ever seen in my life but it is filled with '90s HOT

I think two things you can definitely point to (there are loads more!) is that noses are bigger, and hair less blonde, than in either 00s or 80s hot? With the noses the it's probably just surgery but the hair I think is the story of alt going mainstream?

Yes it was the golden era of raven haired, pale beauties in the mainstream.

That looks like a video game character. I guess digital airbrushing has improved a lot since the 90s.

pretty sure thats fan art but ok

so your point was '00s fan art was hot in the '90s?

The last time I was bored at work on a Saturday because I didn't bring my laptop this thread saved me. It' s a shame I finally ran out of 90s crushes. Anyone got any not already posted that they would like to share with the class?

YES, MICHELLE FORBES IN KALIFORNIA:

Wasn't Charlize Theron also in Kalifornia? I'm gonna be lazy and not bother to check.

Also, not enough of this action ^^^

I just watched 12 Monkeys the other day and had the same thought.

I was looking for the blonde wig, which is just an awesome aberration, sure, but still 90's hot :\

this revive has been v. otm

i believe his last publication was something like 'things you'd normally ask a doctor after your third martini', and it actually was what the title implies

Just watched the Forrester shooting stars clip, and naturally agree, though can't remember what she actually did.

From 1991 to 1997 it was unimpeachable.

Isn't Elizabeth Shue more of an 80s hot? Karate Kid, Adv in Babysitting, BTTF2...

was just watching Leaving Las Vegas but maybe. nothing to scoff at in The Trigger Effect if my memory of adolescence doesn't fail me.

Yeah, I mean, I'm sure she's still good looking, it's more about when her attractiveness was defining a period. I dunno, I agree she's hot in the 90s, so I think she fits.

career revival while still hot counts imo

Guys you HAVE TO SEE THIS: Richard Avedon and Steven Meisel shoot Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour, and Christy Turlington for Versace Spring 1994. I wish I could just post all these pix itt.
