Happy Bastille Day!

Every time this holiday rolls around I'm reminded of the Simpsons episode "Summer of 4 ft. 2", one of my personal faves:

"My mom's French, so we only celebrate Bastille Day".

Coincidentally, this was the summer I also decided to try something new and bought a tie dyed shirt from the flea market. Totally made me look more like a dork, especially since I paired it with Grateful Dead necklaces and Target-brand Birkenstocks. Oh the mistakes of a 12-going-on-13 year old dweeb's wardrobe.

Best 90s Picks on Hulu

If you've got a Hulu Plus account and want to have a 90s movie marathon (who wouldn't??), try some of these:

• Ski Patrol (with a character named Iceman.. real original)
• Madonna: Truth or Dare (surely this would get a schwing from Wayne & Garth)
• Bad Girls from Mars (this is probably terrible)
• And You Thought Your Parents Were Weird! (with Alan Thicke and Armin Shimerman!)
• Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot
• The Brandon Teena Story
• Pulp Fiction
• Unzipped (Isaac Mizrahi!)
• Halloween IV (did these get progressively worse?)
• Scream (a 90s classic)
• Sling Blade
• Jawbreaker (a girl from my high school is in this!)
• Hot Shots! Part Deux (for more Charlie Sheen goodness, check out The Wraith)
• Weekend at Bernie's II
• Runaway Daughters (mmm, Paul Rudd as a bad boy)
• Trainspotting
• Jackie Brown
• Chasing Amy
• The Faculty

Delia's Catalog - Summer 96

Confession time: if there was a warehouse out there in the wild blue yonder filled with Delia's deadstock from the mid 90s, I would snag everything in my size and then some. I was such a maniac for this stuff that I actually kept all the catalogs that arrived in my mailbox. While I ended up throwing out every issue of Seventeen, Teen and YM that I owned, I couldn't part with these. Today I finally got around to scanning one, the Summer '96 edition. I still pine for the printed shift dresses and Vans Wally's.
