I guess I get that is teen week and this topic is relevant, but all of these outfits look like typical outfits worn by a teenager. Nothing shocking or horrible.

I’m guessing you weren’t in highschool but ~5 years ago, because all these outfits look fairly contemporary to me (off-shoulder, leggings, etc.) and not ...that... bad.

You just reminded me that my uniform circa 1998 was bootcut corduroy pants, the beige Birkenstock clogs Ellie wrote about, wool socks, and a short sleeved fitted tee over a long sleeved patterned fitted tee. My look was “I follow Phish, but at least I’m not selling burritos at a show.”

Today’s lesson: It doesn’t matter what you were thinking, and it doesn’t matter what you think of it today. What matters is that, at the time you crafted & put on each of these outfits, it made you feel like the Queen of the fucking May.

The sex ed I had in 4th and 5th grade in the early 1990s was far superior to the sex ed class I had to take in high school. My high school showed a video with Kirk Cameron in it, which never should have happened since it is a public school.

I can beat these all! I was a “hippie” in my later high school years, and would often wear large patchwork baggy shorts or a patchwork shirt. I also loved my long striped skirt of alpaca hair, with my Berks and a spaghetti strap tank. Don’t forget all the handmade hemp necklaces. OR the low rise jeans with thong…

I think my worst teen outfits were my boot cut jeans, tight spaghetti strap tops, actual business lady blazers (as in, they were New York & Company and designed for adult women, not teens) and strangely, long lengths of lace trim looped around my neck and tied in a bow with the ends freely flowing down to about my mid…

It definitely doesn’t go away. I’m a decade-plus out from my worst disordered eating and still fight my restrictive urges when my weight fluctuates up.

We also had very good sex ed in the early 90s, and that was in Texas. I wonder sometimes if the HIV crisis opened the door to good sex ed which was then immediately closed after the bodies stopped piling up. Or did the Republicans just get crazier? In any case, I find it ironic that my sex ed in Texas nearly 30 years…

I remember the movie Kids traumatized me as a teen. I remember being convinced I had HIV after every sexual encounter, safe or not. Years later, I had to take an HIV test as part of routine prenatal testing and the fear was STILL there.

The Enterprise wasn’t a mock-up. It had full warp drive and phaser and photon torpedo capacity and did a 5 year mission for crying out loud.

Incorrect. The Buran flew in November 1988, seven years AFTER the space shuttle’s first flight.

I think it’s a great thing that The Color Purple is more closely associated with the black actors than the white director.

and yet the Lead Producer on almost every single one of his films is Kathleen Kennedy, who is now the head of Lucasfilm and who has empowered women by not only making their roles in Star Wars more important but made the head of the entire LFL storyboard team and many of it’s members women.

The “white woman” stuff is a distraction from her main and very important point.

Isnt that a good thing. Doesnt that make him an even better dude (or at least not some shitty scumbag)

Not to mention her reps say they’d never heard of this company before, but Plugged has purchase orders and receipts for when Kylie’s ripoff company requested huge orders. “I’ve never heard of this company that I made a massive order with then copied. Nope.” Then they have the nerve to send the original company a cease…

I saw the headline and simply had to scroll down and say, emphatically, “Yes!”. As much as I love Billy Zane, he and Heather Graham are 100% not necessary in season 2 and only served to further convolute an already falling apart season.
