Welcome to the New Century

So here I go... off to the new millennium... to the day and age of blogging. I can't compete with all these million dollar bloggers! I don't have a cell phone or an I-Pod! I live in the Ice-Age. If I had a cassette player that worked, I would be jamming to the best tunes of the 1980s and 90s.

The first one to be pulled out of the dusty box, is from March 1993, made by Aunt Julie, of Sonic Youth, Donna Summer, Pet Shop Boys, Messiah, and The Pixies. Second mix I found is undated, but remembered to be around 5th grade, Snap, Deee-lite, Ministry, and World Party. This is only 2, out of the 50 I have... all of them are a very eclectic mix!

I love the relationship of music with fashion. When I was in the 7th grade, my obsession was Deee-lite. I wore the cut off jean shorts with psychedelic tights and dangle long earrings. I even had the floppy hats! I will have to pull a picture from my sister's album (mine are in Mom's garage) later of that... you will get a kick out of it. I laugh about the 90s frequently, the time of flannels and flower hats. However, there are parts that I somehow miss. The outfits of pleather and latex, the sort of space-age suits. My sister and I both loved that edgy look. I wore the pleather look including a red and black python skirt all through my junior year of High School.

Oh yes, even though I am being blown away with new technology, I am in tune with the fashion forecast. The 90s are coming back in a Big way... prepare your wardrobe with velvet, lace, velour, bell bottoms, rainbow colors, psychedelic prints, mini mod dresses, and crochet.

The photo above is of me and my sister circa 1992/93. Courtesy of Aunt Julie. I am on left, Anne on right. I would have put the photo on the bottom middle if I could figure out how, and would also put it as a new paragraph if the computer wasn't fighting with me!

Oh to live in the Ice-Age!
