Remember 90's Love in New York City

BRINGING IT TO NYC...

Some of the best TV shows from the 90’s were actually based on lives in New York City, Friends and Seinfeld but since then many stars from former 90’s television have managed to bring it over the East Coast. For instance:

David Hyde Pierce from Frasier in Curtain on Broadway
Jennie Garth from 90210 on the TV show “What I Like About You” based in NYC.
Christina Appledate from Married With Children stared in “Sweety Charity” on Broadway

THE TELEVISION ROCKED MY WORLD

Whenever I think of the 90’s I remember when the most exciting thing was getting home from school in time to watch back to back episodes of 90210 and Saved By The Bell. I have a hopeless little crush on Zach and was sure that Tiffany Amber Thiessen was perfect.

Sadly, as the 2000’s crept in we lost all of the good teen drama’s, the Fresh Prince and the Full House to REALITY TELEVISION. When kids in the 90’s were learning about sex and relationships from the trampy chicks are Beverly Hills high, now they’re learning about it from Tila Tequila instead. Tell me, who do YOU think is a better role model? The TV tramps from the 90’s like Christina Applegate from Married With Children didn’t do any harm to us other than inspire ratted hair and poofy bangs.

P.S. YOU KNOW WHAT I MISS THE MOST?? Daria and Beavis and Butthead. What does that say about me as a person?

MOVIES

The 90’s movies were amazing….I know we’ve amped up our technology and we have more access to artsy films, etc. Film has definitely changed, humor has changed and action movies have gotten a little too realistic…but here’s a list of 90’s movie loooove:

• Men in Black, based in NYC! Who knew that Will Smith would come back a few years later and really freak us out with I AM LEGEND
• Scream
• Jerry McGuire
• Toy Story (it still kicks Monsters Inc in the a**)
• Ace Ventura Pet Detective
• Pulp Fiction
• Wayne’s World
• Empire Records
• Dazed and Confused
• Titanic
• Austin Powers

THE FASHION!

Fashion has always been my thing. When I was younger I went to Los Angeles once a year every Oct (not just for shopping, though it did seem that way) and I would stock up on all “the trends” before anyone caught onto them in my hometown. Sometimes this made me the coolest kid in school, other times I’d go to school in August and have people making fun of my; leggings, rhinestone cowboy look, neon, capris, grunge look, WHATEVER the trend, until about February when everyone finally caught on and realized…..I was awesome.

Some of my favorite 90’s trends I still do my best to rock today. For instance:

LEGGINGS. Hello. Leggings are perfect as long as you don’t wear them with sneakers and a shirt that doesn’t cover your tush, if you do that, you’ll look like a tool.
Doorknocker Earrings- sure they’re a little Salt-N-Peppa inspired, but they’re still hot.
PLAID- I have an astounding collection of plaid things. Seriously.
Maryjanes- classic. End of story.

Trends I’m not brave enough to bring to life (and not entirely sure I support their revival)
Backwards Overalls….
Midriff Baby-Tees
Combat Boots
Platform Sneakers
