1 Earth Year Later...

It's been exactly one year since I started this blog & even though I've strayed away from being able to update it consistently, my web traffic has not decreased & for that I'm truly grateful to anyone who has taken the time to read my posts, and to those who have left comments ;) I will be trying to refresh my blog with all kinds of 90's goodness soon, for I still have a huge passion for 90's nostalgia & everything 90's.Lately I've found myself watching TONS of old 90's commercials & basking in the memories :) I also find that there's a tremendous amount of 90's television on TV right now & I'm definitely loving it! (that is for us fortunate enough to have cable ;)Any who, thought I'd catch up with all of you! I'm currently filming a Disney movie!! You know the one with Johnny Depp?! I'm sure you know the name *drumroll* The Lone Ranger!!! Woo!! Besides filming in the hot desert with tons of layers of authentic 1800's clothing all summer, I've also been working on signing with an agency, finishing my album, and collaborating with a bunch of fabulous photograhers for my portfolio!! I'll be turning 22 this year, so this is the year I prove to myself & the world that I have the chops to bring home the bacon baby!!! KICK ASS CAPTAIN PLANET STYLE!!! Ahahaha

God Bless you, where in this world you are ;)

XOXO,

2011: The Year of Nostalgia

"If every generation has a moment where they adopt a rose-colored perspective of the people and pop culture of its past, the 20-somethings had their turn in 2011." -CNN

Those who came of age in the '80s and '90s now span the demographic that's exiting college or creeping into their 30s. As they do so, various cultural outlets are recreating or referencing the TV shows, movies, fashion and music on which they were raised.

This year, we were reacquainted with the staccato giggles of the animated "Beavis and Butt-Head," which returned to MTV after originally appearing on the network from 1993 to 1997. And then, in perhaps the biggest TV flashback, was TeenNick 's weekly late-night block of programming, "The '90s Are All That."

At the box office, 1994's "The Lion King" was re-released in 3-D in September, and we can now expect 1991's "Beauty and the Beast" and 1989's "The Little Mermaid" to be theatrically re-released in 3-D as well.

It's the same deal with James Cameron's 1997 blockbuster "Titanic," which will also be back in theaters in 3-D in the spring. Not to mention "The Muppets" being dusted off for another theatrical jaunt this year, courtesy of "How I Met Your Mother" star Jason Segel (a series that thrives on the theme of nostalgia and looking back).

This year was kind to the musicians of the '90s, as NKOTBSB -- the supergroup made up of New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys -- pulled in $40 million with their tour, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

And if that wasn't enough, the very depiction of '90s whimsy, Lisa Frank, has added clothing to its swath of school supplies. Of course, they'd be remiss to not have adult sizes.

It seems that while the kids have grown up, a lot of the culture that surrounds them hasn't.

1994: What's the internet?

These days it's hard to believe that anyone in America doesn't know about the internet, but in 1994 that was just the case for most. Need proof? Here's a very VINTAGE clip from NBC's "Today" show, where there is a little confusion regarding just what the internet is! hahaha. 

In the early nineties the concept of a "giant computer network" used to communicate with others was quite hard to grasp. These days it's how news breaks, people communicate with loved ones, and a great way to voice your opinion about literally whatever you feel like!


It's also made some richer quicker than ever before!


We are now more accessible than ever, with most of us not being able to have an excuse for not keeping in touch because we have so many platforms to do so.

HOWEVER, how could any 90's kid forget AOL chat rooms?! Without a doubt, America Online in the nineties was the most popular way to communicate with people! The annoying dial up noises we'd all have to endure before hearing the little AOL man say, "Welcome, YOU'VE GOT MAIL!!" 


Awe, how we all miss the speed of dial up...NOT!!! haha. BUT...
I do miss giving tarot card readings to randoms in the PSYCHIC rooms that use to be under the LIFE category!! 
              

Who could forget the little disks we'd get in the mail or in our local grocery store?! 


<-- This broad sure doesn't! haha.
