Whatever you want to call it, the 1990’s decade was when $2 shops actually meant ‘Nothing over 2bucks’ & you could match your NOKIA 5190 with every outfit, every mood & every occasion, all for less than twenydolla.

The POP side of those years; when Clueless was your fashion bible and Tory Spelling was addictive.

People played around with individualism and you coloured your hair as often as you changed the overexposed g-bangers showing from under your SoFuckingLowISeeVagina jeans.

And if you managed to avoid getting kicked out of school for “unnatural hair colour”, they even accepted your docs as uniform. (Ok, so a tiny portion of this post was more grunge. Tiny. …Meh!)

It was when those lads-to-ladies brought out MMMBop, when people actually wrote songs about Barbie & the Macarena was a guaranteed request at any high school reunion. It was back when Britney & Christina were still virginal (sort of) and supermodels used to eat. …Whatever it may be, you gotta love the POP POP for something!

I wasn’t born in the 90’s. But I sure did live them!  The decade had its highs and its definite stay-in-the-past lows. But aside from the truly ugly shit it came with, I will unashamedly admit I’m pretty glad its making a comeback in one way or another.

You can love her or hate her but I think Gwen Stefani is a babe. She makes me want my hoochie hair daily. And the AbSlide.

So now that we’ve learnt from our fuckups, this time round we’re keeping tribal to the native and on our textiles. Hoorah!

HELL YEAH FOR BLUE HAIR! Elzee also just painted my black-then-blue docs red… moni$$$ savin’. And they’re pretty damn cool.
