I still can't get over how she keeps getting hotter as she gets older. It's not right.

Man, that looks eerily like myself and an ex-girlfriend circa 2000, except I didn't have an earring.

hahahaha milo z horribly OTM. It's amazing how if I saw a girl in that exact getup today I'd be like "ugh," like now that same look connotes some sort of "alt" wannabe loser bore. Although maybe I'm just kidding myself and actually it still connects, viscerally...

Kerri Hoskins played cheerleaders in NBA Jam, the dominatrix villianess in Aerosmith's "Revolution X", and Sonya Blade in multiple Mortal Kombat games.

She may have played all the babes you have to save in "Revolution X" as well.

I think the two things I most often typed into altavista were "gillian bonner" and "yasmine bleeth"

Someone else shared this twice today on FB and...some days I miss seeing "quirky" messed up hair like the singer had.

Janet Snakehole (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 23 February 2012 21:55 (fourteen years ago)

This thread really is making me question how much my sexual "ideal" really was shaped by the media images of my adolescence. I mean, like, duh, but also, wow.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 23 February 2012 21:57 (fourteen years ago)

all these images do look 90's, but i really can't point to something specific about them that dates them. i mean, some of them could pass as 80's or the 00's. what makes them look 90's?

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?

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

To further elaborate my crackpot theory: I wonder how much of the look-and-feel is also just that most of these images are print shots from magazines scanned to GIF or JPEG in the 90s, as opposed to being digital from the get-go. There's a certain grain that just makes scrolling through this thread feel retro even if you aren't looking at all the dreamy folk.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 23 February 2012 22:10 (fourteen years ago)

That GAP ad is from http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/pictures-that-perfectly-capture-the-90s which is fantastic although it needs a UK 90s equivalent.
