Love that red jumper/striped shirt combo! Hot! <3

Citizen SNPs (Trayce), Thursday, 27 January 2011 22:45 (thirteen years ago) link

Are you talking to me? It is just a skirt and sweater - not a jumper, if so. My style ain't changed too much, really. My hair certainly has. It looks like I rubbed a ham on it for styling product.

Think she meant jumper/skirt combo (jumper in the AUS sense meaning sweater) anyway she's right - it's great. Would wear that now.

AH. I had no idea. I was looking at it trying to see how it was considered a jumper. Cute!

Sister is dating a (CONTROVERSIAL MOD EDIT) (Nijoli), Thursday, 27 January 2011 22:59 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, i think jumper is brit/aussie speak for sweater.

thanx trayce -- i also had a Merlin when i was a kid, and i played the shit out of it.

Sorry yeah I meant jumper/sKirt, wth with my typing. Didn't realise "jumper" was such an odd word elsewhere!

Citizen SNPs (Trayce), Thursday, 27 January 2011 23:05 (thirteen years ago) link

to my american brain, a jumper is a one piece number.

sweater is north american speak for jumper

Nijoli's photos belong in "90's HOT" thread! Also, young you looks like Blake Lively.

Mr. Fart Pop Bass (Phil D.), Thursday, 27 January 2011 23:17 (thirteen years ago) link

to my understanding this is a US jumper:

NIJ -- I had (and still have!) that very same red coat with the leopard print lining!! I got it at a thrift store and wore the hell out of it during a particularly glam phase I went through.
Maybe I will bust that coat out again, but I wonder if it reeks of smoke. Everything reeked of smoke in the 90s.

This is actually cropped - the original is me and my best friend (then boyfriend) both looking all angsty and miserable, like a happy grunge couple should. From about '96, I guess? So I would've been about 15.

wkiw '96 emily! In fact 96 emily looks a lot like 93 Vegemite Grrl. Pretty sure I was wearing the same jacket and t-shirt, lol :)

VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 28 January 2011 22:16 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, I had a Nirvana t-shirt for every day of the week, like the saddo I was.

cut off army shorts 4 eva

VegemiteGrrrl, Friday, 28 January 2011 22:22 (thirteen years ago) link

Ah, I didn't have army shorts. Had several German army jackets, and one German army shirt upon the back of which I diligently transcribed the lyrics to 'Transmission' by Joy Division. Happy days.

emil.y, Friday, 28 January 2011 22:23 (thirteen years ago) link

scored 2 pairs of army shorts from a friend who went through army cadets in high school.

but those army jackets were kickass. so warm.

I was wondering if I'd find this on YouTube, and sure enough it's there (what isn't?)--a Canadian TV interview with Black Flag from 1984, and at the 1:37 mark, when the punk girl moves her head left, that's me behind her and to the right. Can't wait to show this to my class on Monday!
