“Come and jump on it. Ride it, my pony.” Wow. Instant classic right there, folks. The lyrics of Ginuwine’s ‘96 hit single ‘Pony’ are unforgettable to say the least.  I guess you can’t blame him for cutting right to the chase, huh. He was, after all, just a...

Literally. We all fell into those annoyingly memorable Gap commercials of the 90’s. Don’t even try to deny it. If I were to cook up a Gap commercial recipe, it’d go a little something like: A room as white as a padded cell? Check. Singing models sporting endless variations of khaki,...

Looking good in the 90s was tough on so many levels. Think about it: Parachute pants and oversized flannel shirts flattered no one (especially if worn together. Eeek.) Overly layered hair (read: “the Rachel”) only worked if you were, in fact, Jennifer Aniston. Doc Martens in any form should...

That’s right. Baby, Posh, Sporty, Naughty, Crappy & Sleepy were - and continue to be - the best-selling girl group of all time. Granted, there hasn’t been a ton of competition in recent years (Danity Kane, anyone?) & if Beyonce hadn’t ditched the other two, they would have given...

“Attention all shoppers: There is a sale at the Kitchen Store. There is a clearance at the Sunglass Boutique.” If your memory isn’t jolted by those statements then you obviously didn’t play electronic Mall Madness. Even though the flimsy cardboard set required an extreme...

Once upon a time, there was a land where not everyone had a phone in their pocket or their purse and the only “piece” in a person’s ear was a hearing aid. Yes, it was a strange, strange time where people waited to get home to pick up their -wait for it- land line (!) to call someone...

Shortly after I posted about Glamour Shots the other day, a friend brought to my attention the legacy of laser portraits. Holy awesomeness! Sadly, I was never given the laser option for my middle school photos, however I know many of you out there remember begging your mom to pay the extra money for...

Falling under the category of craptastic products invented in the decade of excess: Crystal Pepsi. If I remember correctly, it tasted like sour 7 UP and left a very special layer of film on your teeth. The advertising geniuses used the oh-so-subtle (and oh-so-overused) “Right Now” to really...
