We love the 90s: Angelina + Liv

A few weeks ago, a good friend threw herself a middle school dance-themed 30th birthday. There were bottles of ! perfume, mixtapes featuring Julianna Hatfield and the My So-Called Life theme, babydoll dresses, and possibly best of all, stacks of early 90s fashion mags from the collection of a person with a more severe magazine-hoarding problem than mine. There is a lesson to be learned here, and that is this: there was a time – that’d be 1992 – when Liv Tyler was on the cover of Seventeen (age 15!) and Angelina Jolie was hawking prom dresses (and looking just as EFFING AMAZING as she does now). Also, never throw away magazines.

Are you ready for this?:

    These are hilarious! I cannot believe Angelina was wearing prom dresses for JC Penney. I really hope there are more posts, this just made my day!

    I love the 90′s! If you are ever in the mood for a random 90′s dance party just put it on No Diggity Pandora and r&b/hip 90′s heaven will ensue! It is my secret weapon to make people automatically nostalgic and smiling.

    I love it! What a fantastic idea for a party and now I’m so bummed about my great magazine purge of 2005. Ugh! I bet I had some collectors items!!

    Hello! I came across your post and I, too, love the ’90s. In fact, I’ve written a novel called LOST IN THE ’90s which is set in 1994, and will go on sale April 5, 2012 — in honor of the 18th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain, as you probably know.

    It would be great if you could help me spread the word to all your ’90s-loving friends…

    Ohhh yes, there will be more posts! I may BREAK my scanner from overuse, there are that many goodies.

    Frank: Keep me posted on the book, my ‘Unplugged’ CD is on repeat on the regular.

    Love these! I just found Kate Moss on an Italian magazine from the early 90s but of course she looks amazing.
