no boys allowed in the room!!!!

xpost me too and now we are back to cluadia from the babbysitters clob

yes!

i used to LOVVVVE stirrup pants with stacked socks. oh yes.

I had a friend that would totally color-coordinate the stacked socks ... she'd wear a striped shirt, and the socks would be in the same alternating color pattern as the shirt. Definitely lol-worthy.

I remember getting bruises from those guess jeans with the side ankle zippers.

bruises?!

i used to bind myself with an ACE bandage

wow

yeah, where the zipper cut into my skin. Maybe bruises isn't the best description.

Ohhhhh no, late '80s confession: I did the layered socks/stirrups thing but with certain variables like using different texture or thickness of the socks used in the layering. Ragstock in Minneapolis had tons of wool '60s ski pants which were $5 or $10 and we'd wear them with massive sweaters (or layers of sweaters) and some kind of black boots. Or I'd head the other way and wear that with a white teeshirt and electric blue/black smoking jacket.

These strange '90s styles of which you speak? Closest I got to them was children's teeshirts under spaghetti strap dresses, or a cycling shorts/floral teeshirt from Benetton combo circa '90. My grunge era outfit was red Massey Ferguson jacket, plaid trousers, white teeshirt, 13-hole Docs and plastic barrettes. Also from 1986-1993 my legs were not ever bare in a dress due to my discovery of Donna Karan black matte jersey tights, which are so bulletproof and long-lasting I still have five undamaged pairs.

Roxy TAB is my all-time favorite soda. It can be so hard to find but if I do, I buy it immediately. I <3 Tab. It is all my mom drank when I was a kid so maybe that's part of it but god do I love that cancer causing goodness.

Also, "open image in new tab" HA!

children's teeshirts under spaghetti strap dresses

i loved this look, even though it looked terrible on me. there was an ILS thread about 90s fashion.

i've never even had TAB; where can i find it?

x-post I loved that look too. Also, babydoll dresses in general.

Mandee it's a crapshoot really. Luckily my local grocery store carries it but many do not.

YES!!!!!!! That might have been my favorite movie at the time of said dress wearing enough so that I'm pretty sure that's right before they encounter the two actors on the bridge where the one says "I'll be the cow"!

yeah it is! also the next morning, she wears the spaghetti strap dress sans tshirt. both looks=a++++

it helps to look like julie delpy, i guess.

She has the right body for that kind of look. Oh god I used to think that guy making the cow horns was so funny.

During that time I was liable to be dressed like a member of Elastica.

a lot of early 90s for me was the baby doll dress or other vintage dress with combat boots.

thanks for the rec on the tights ... I rip the shit out of tights, and have pretty much only worn pants for the past x # years.

I don't think Donna Karan makes those tights any more, which is why I have pairs that are 20 years old o_0.

TABIO (expensive) and New Look (better and cheap) make the best bulletproof tights in 2009, TABIO in zillions of colours.

so bulletproof and long-lasting I still have five undamaged pairs.

!!!

ENBB, I saw you mention TAB on another thread which is what inspired me to bring it up here.

My mom drank it too!

Best pair of tights I have (they are too fried to wear but too cool to toss) are some spandex Hokusai via Deee-Lite with black seams up the back, but actually they look stolen from Bjork.

Also in other Donna Karan news I still mourn that day in 1996 when they discontinued Chaos, last bottle I bought was in 2001, last I saw in a perfume rarities stand in Mpls for $150 a year later. BOO.

I have never smelled it. What was it like?

i thought Donna Karan rereleased Chaos recently, along with Black Cashmere, which is a favorite of mine.

yes! see also: bike shorts with ruffly skirts over them!

also my mom never drank tab and wouldn't let us bc she was scared of teh cancer.

what a world!!!

oh btw tez:

i FINALLY received your postcard today, in fact i probably received it long ago but it was too small to be seen in my WEIRD mailbox. i loled so hard at it. oh god

omg! wow! i was so worried you would never get it and all my clever work would go to waste!!!

momrza was really confused about why i insisted on taking a picture of her while reading this book:

but she humored me anyway! sign of a grebt mom <3

aw i cant see it at work

try now :D

sorry to derail

s'ok tza's mom can be in room.

<3<3<3 momrza

(how did u do that????)

i uploaded to photobucket and then used my magic powers to replace the image

but usually all pics are links to me on 1p3

oh yeah i think it's something about the editing... maybe if you insert while in edit mode it shows because it knows a mod did it and it's a trustworthy pic? bc i can see it too, and everything is always a link to me everywhere unless i use different login.
