I get most of the authors here are young and come at things from a different perspective, but please don’t discount us “olds” who saw this show in real time and really wished something like it existed much earlier. Had I seen this type of show when I was 14 (1982) my life might be much different now.

I’ve no idea which Democrat I’m going to vote for. But my nearly 70 year old Republican father stunned me with this comment, “I really like Mayor Pete.”

The thing I enjoy about Stewart in this entire situation is that I have no doubt he’s genuine. His jokes about McConnell looking like a turtle may seem like going for the easy joke, but you can tell he has seething contempt for him. The only other time I saw him visibly despise someone in this way was when he roasted…

I feel like his balls would smell like sweaty feet and his feet would smell like sweaty balls. 

There’s an episode of Black Mirror about this.

JE SUIS THAT BITCH

I had the doily dress for one of our homecomings (I think it was dark green). I had the sequin dress for 1995 senior prom. Silver like a disco ball.

I went to the prom in 1994 and 1995. I have tried on these dresses. I have been in these stores. My 1994 dress was red, strapless, to the floor with a slit. Sequined across the top. My homecoming dress from winter 1995 was going to be like the Black and White Jessica McClintock, but another friend wanted that dress,…

My mom and I made my dress together (and when I say we made it “together” I mean I quickly got bored and she made it). It was a satin number with a corset top and big full skirt.

GIRRRRRL Opera Length Gloves are where it’s at. Of course my prom was in 1989. I felt super sassy because my stockings were thigh highs.

Me too! As soon as I saw the picture of that cover, I could actually smell those old issues of Seventeen. Cheap perfume and glue. I think this one is still sitting in my bedroom back home.

This made me a little teary-eyed. I went to my first prom in 1994 after pouring over every issue of Seventeen magazine since 6th grade when my mom bought my first issue after I got my first period. I would read YM and Sassy at my friend’s houses, but I always stayed loyal to Seventeen. My first issues had Nikki Taylor…

All we wore were doc martens, man. We couldn’t handle a heel any higher!

I found a picture of it! Notice the Payless Dyeables shoes.

My mom totally sucks. And the prom committee had NO CLUE that the club was a gay club when they booked it. I would guess that the majority of the people who were at the prom had no idea what the giant pink triangle on the dance floor and the massive rainbow flag hanging above the bar were all about.

The best way to win your decade is to keep it simple. Look at Posh Spice or Lisa Luder.

Prom ‘94 in Montana. I’m in the short blue dress (that my mother made me.)

I tried on that fireworks NADINE dress. I vividly recall it at this moment.

So. Many. Chokers.

SHOUT OUT NADINE
