Tweens, Teens, and Fashionable Zeal: 90’s Edition

There I was, it was a typical night, I was lying in bed watching episodes of Full House on Youtube, when the thought struck me — how do I dress with as much style as Stephanie Tanner? Answer: You don’t.  But this got me thinking; if we’re going to bring the 90’s back, which, I think we’ve all accepted in this new decade to do,  where do we draw our nostalgic influence from? Answer: 90’s tween/teen stars.  Follow me!

Don’t Egg My House, But…

Has anyone ever wondered why we call the abortion debate “Pro Life” vs. “Pro Choice?” Shouldn’t it be “Anti-Choice” vs. “Pro Choice?”

I’m just saying…

I Don’t Even Need to Do a Cover Wars on This One

What happens when you take the most annoying song ever — Crazy by Knarles Barkley — and have one of the best grunge bands from the 80s/90s — Violent Femmes — to ever record a song (maybe) about masturbation or kicking heroin (nobody really knows…) — Blister in the Sun? Give up?

You Know What, I’m Going To Say It: I Don’t Think Johnny Depp Is Good Looking

Johnny Depp is on the cover of this month’s GQ and I mean, sure he’s cute, and I’m not saying I have the greatest choices in guys, but I just don’t get. I have two main qualms:

1. Related to the previous post about facial hair (shiver), JD always has a weird goatee going on.  To some this might be cute but to me, it’s just…dirty. You’re not Jack Sparrow anymore.

2.  STOP STEALING TITLES AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO DESERVE THEM MORE.  Granted, these are titles that don’t really matter, but still. Sexiest man? No, Johnny Depp. I don’t think so. Ryan Reynolds? Yum. Robert Pattinson? HELL YES. Most Stylish Man? I don’t think so, Johnny Depp. Joshua Jackson? You bet (Thank you Diane Kruger). Daniel Craig? Sexy and stylish.

So, there you have it. Ladies who love him? He’s all yours.

[Editor’s note: Props for staying out of the spotlight and dating a hot French woman. I may not think you’re hot, but I respect you, so there’s that.]

Life’s Open-Fisted Punch to the Head

This is a pretty good representation of how my life’s going these days:

Dear Guys, No.

If this sight makes you gag, this post is for you.

Whatever girl woke up and thought, “Hey this is sexy on my guy” deserves to be dropkicked out a window because HELL NO it is not.

Dreams DO Come True!

Good news: I found the greatest MTV reality show ever created, Rich Girls, starring Ally Hilfiger (daughter of Tommy) and her friend, Jamie Gleisher (?) available to watch online.

What happens when you take Vampire Weekend and mix ’em together with Kid Cudi? THIS

*Also, Mel will tell you to “get over yourself,” but it will sound funny, so you’ll laugh.
