90's Throwback Vid of the Day: Joan Osborne (One of Us)

WHAT IF GOD WAS ONE OF US?!


90's Babe of the Day: Kelly Bundy

The 90's babe of the day is dedicated to Christina Applegate OR better known as Kelly Bundy from the hit show "Married with Children." 

I found her character as the dumb blonde daughter of Al Bundy very relatable! ahaha! =D Kelly was a man eater & inspiring actress...something we both have in common! ahaha! She was into the the bad boy type, and her parents were into the gifts her admirers would shower her with (like steak for instance.) ahaha!
Christina Applegate went on to become a successful actress in real life. Some would even argue she did the best out of the cast after the show wrapped. I couldn't think of a better 90's babe than Ms. Applegate herself!


SAD FACT: In 2008 Christina Applegate was diagnosed with breast cancer =( They had to remove one of her breasts, but thankfully she is living cancer free today!

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!


90's Babe of the Day: Becky Conner's Man Mark Healy

The 90's babe of the day is dedicated to Glenn Quinn or better known in the 90's as Becky Conner's main squeeze Mark Healy on the cult hit "Roseanne."



He played the bad boy greaser that Roseanne didn't want her daughter to be taken over, but with a face like that who could blame her! Mr. Conner hired Mark to work at their bike shop, but eventually they eloped behind her parents back, and at one point moved into a trailer home (insert ROFLMAO here ;P) ahahaha



The couple then moved into Becky's parents come where they remained for the rest of the series. 

The Conner girls apparently liked to keep in the family cause Becky's sister ended up marrying & having a baby with Mark's little bro, David Healy. hahaha.     










Oddly enough, Glenn played an American on TV. He was actually Irish and had a heavy accent! 

After the show wrapped he played a half-demon in the show "Angel."

Photographs really don't do the man justice! If you were a fan of the show you know what I'm talking about! He was definitely yummy :) 


SAD FACT: Glenn died of a heroin overdose in 2002 :( His body was found on the couch of a friend he was visiting in North Hollywood, California.


RIP MARK HEALY
(1970-2002)

90's Throwback Vid of the Day: Weezer Edition

Weezer - Undone -- The Sweater Song (1994)




Weezer - Say It Ain't So (1995)




Weezer - Buddy Holly (1994)


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. 

90's Throwback Vid of the Day: Ace of Base (All That She Wants)


Then & Now: Saved by the Bell Heartthrobs Edition

Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell has always been quite dreamy, and has aged very well just like his fellow cast mate, A.C. Slater. They're both still very active in Hollywood, and both still turning heads! Unfortunately, the same can't be said about Screech! haha



90's Babe of the Day: Stacey Dash

The 90's babe of the day is dedicated to the AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS Stacey Dash!!!
OR better known in the 90's as Cher's bestie, Dionne, in the movie & TV series "Clueless."
I personally have ALWAYS thought she is one of the most beautiful women of color I've ever seen, and I never understood why she peaked with "Clueless" because she has a lot to offer! Although, she is still an active actress & hasn't aged a bit! 
In 2004, Ms. Dash appeared in Kanye West's video for "All Falls Down." 

RANDOM FACT: On a sad note, in 2009 her fellow "Clueless" castmate, Brittany Murphy, passed away due to pneumonia with secondary factors of iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication.
