Subliminal Messages in Our 90's Cartoons: Rugrats, PRO FEMINIST FAMILIES?!?!

Rugrats is pro feminist families...HERE IS THE PROOF:
  • Mrs. Pickles is the educated breadwinner, Stu often chasing his less profitable dreams
  • Phil & Lil’s mom Betty DeVille, obvs (short hair, female symbol sweatshirt, clear second waver, OBVIOUS LESBIAN)
  • Charlotte, ballbusting CEO who wants Angelica to have an edge in a male-privileged world
  • Suzie’s family, upper-middle class black family with a really accomplished mom
  • Chaz, sensitive single dad who childrears and has rejected traditional masculinity
Pretty obvious, right? Although, there is NOTHING wrong with women running the household! Whatever works best for the family, in my opinion ;) I just found this rather interesting! I wonder if it was done intentionally! Hmm :)

WHAT DO YOU THINK?!

Separated at Birth



















The 90's Comeback in Full Force! Beavis & Butthead to Return!

America's sweethearts, Beavis & Butthead are set to make a comeback to MTV very soon! 

Beliebve it or not (<-- see what I did there HAHA I am a genius) our beloved Justin Bieber actually broke the story via Twitter awhile back! 

A big part of what made Beavis & Butthead so special for us in the 90's was the music video segments! These days I sometimes feel like my friends & I are Beavis & Butthead whenever we have commentary on videos! ahaha It is known now that in the new version the boys will comment on not only current music videos, but youtube clips, Jersey Shore clips, etc. 
I'm guessing it'll be like Beavis & Butthead's version of "Tosh 2.0" haha or at least something to that degree

The creator Mike Judge will be showing footage of the new episodes at tomorrow's Comic-Con in San Diego! Check back here tomorrow for the footage!


Then & Now: Baywatch Edition

Before we knew them as the sex symbols we do today, Pamela Anderson & Carmen Electra were just starting to create a buzz for themselves in the 90's with the show, Baywatch. 


With a doubt, Pamela Anderson is still a femme fatale! One thing I will say about Canada is that they create GORGEOUS women! She's a model, actress, playmate, and is a very active animal rights activist. 






She invented the celebrity sex tape scandal in the nineties with her infamous honey moon sex tape with then husband, Tommy Lee of Motley Crue fame. 





This wouldn't be her only sex tape to appear in the nineties. She also appeared in a explicit video with Poison front man, Bret Michael's.


In the new millennium Anderson married rocker Kid Rock, but they also ended up in divorce. 


Say what you want about the vixen, but she's definitely going down in pop culture history as one bad ass chick!


Dubbed "Carmen Electra" by then boyfriend Prince in the nineties. She was his protégé at the time whom he was also dating. In 1993 she released her self titled debut album to lukewarm reviews thus ending her music career. 


She then appeared in a spread for Playboy in 1996 that lead to her being casted for MTV's "Singled Out", as well as Baywatch. 





She apparently has a thing for girly men because she then married basketball player Dennis Rodman in Vegas of '98, but then got divorced the following year. 


Throughout the new millennium she's appeared in various movies, and got married for the 2nd time to rock musician Dave Navarro. Unfortunately, the marriage did not last either. 


However, that didn't stop Electra from getting engaged to Rob Patterson of the metal band Otep in 2008. 
Just like her fellow Baywatch cast-mate, Ms. Electra will always be known for her certified bombshell status more than her acting accomplishments, BUTT...


You can't knock the girl because this pussycat has remained relevant and is still beyond gorgeous!

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.
