This lady stood next to me at a Blur gig and tried to talk to me during "To the end" but i was too busy listening to the gig and kinda blanked her, it was only after she walked away i realised it was her from Sleeper who'd just supported Blur. :(

I'd definitely hit 90s era Geena Davis.

Here we see Mr Gaiman in the '90s. As mentioned elsewhere, I really do not care about his writing and am not very goth, but I would fuckin' wreck that.

The "bad girl" trend in superhero comics may have waned, but the boobs are still there. It's kinda sad, there are some superhero books I'd really love recommend to my female friends, but I'm not sure if they could get past the fact that they look like wank fodder for teen boys. What's even sadder is that things have only gotten worse throughout the decades; reading superhero comics from the 70s and 80s, the female bodies in them may still look a bit unreal, but at least they aren't framed like porn shots.

For example, this is what Rachel/Phoenix used to look like in the 80s:

And this is what she looks like today:

She's certainly gone from a pear to an hourglass.

Bumping just to see if I can convince ILX that yes, I have bookmarked the last post in this thread, thank you.

ljagljana (kkvgz), Monday, 24 May 2010 15:47 (fourteen years ago) link

all these images do look 90's, but i really can't point to something specific about them that dates them. i mean, some of them could pass as 80's or the 00's. what makes them look 90's?

I think two things you can definitely point to (there are loads more!) is that noses are bigger, and hair less blonde, than in either 00s or 80s hot? With the noses the it's probably just surgery but the hair I think is the story of alt going mainstream?

Re: recursive Esquire cover just above. Mark Leyner! There's a "turn of phrase" gifted/plot challenged author who's star/publishing has fallen to disappointing lows after Tooth Imprints on a Corn Dog (1996). I dunno if he was considered hot in general culture, but My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist rocked my Donald Barthelme riven world in 1991...

The 90s look may also be technologically driven, just in terms of the images - - like, all the magazine covers are still shot on film (I think) and there's somewhat less digital fiddling with color balance and stuff. Obviously that was all in play but (I think) not anywhere to the degree as in the 00s. Reminds me indirectly of this: http://theabyssgazes.blogspot.com/2010/03/teal-and-orange-hollywood-please-stop.html

Doctor Casino, Monday, 24 May 2010 16:12 (fourteen years ago) link

huh. that's actually sort of interesting - the orange and teal thing.

Yes it was the golden era of raven haired, pale beauties in the mainstream.

Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 04:05 (fourteen years ago) link

That looks like a video game character. I guess digital airbrushing has improved a lot since the 90s.

Tuomas, Thursday, 3 June 2010 20:23 (fourteen years ago) link

pretty sure thats fan art but ok

plax (ico), Thursday, 3 June 2010 20:31 (fourteen years ago) link

one month passes...

The last time I was bored at work on a Saturday because I didn't bring my laptop this thread saved me. It' s a shame I finally ran out of 90s crushes. Anyone got any not already posted that they would like to share with the class?

i believe his last publication was something like 'things you'd normally ask a doctor after your third martini', and it actually was what the title implies

Just watched the Forrester shooting stars clip, and naturally agree, though can't remember what she actually did.
