Gossip! Music Nothing to do with anything

“The Boy Is STILL Mine, ho!” – Brandy and Monica Hit the Studio Together Again

January 10, 2012 – 12:34 pm

HOLD THE BLOODY BURGER PHONE!! The second and third (respectively) best 90s pop/R&B princesses, Brandy and Monica (don’t even bother asking who number one is, it should go without saying) are teaming up again on a new track for the first time in 14 years! Monica done did a tweet yesterday letting slip that she was up in the studio with her pal. SEE!

Other than the fact that I’m actually quite upset that they’re mates irl, I was secretly hoping they were still beefing over Mehki, I’m mostly stoked on this as I look forward to reenacting the song with my frenemy du jour, much like I’ve done with ‘The Boy Is Mine’ quite regularly since 1998, ASAP! So let us just take a moment to recall the majesty that was the last time they hit the studio together, shall we?

Top 5 Fictional Dads

June 20, 2011 – 5:56 pm

Yesterday was Father’s Day. Okay. Judging by quite a few passive-aggressive tweets all up in our feed, it’s a strange day for a lot of people because, well, on the whole, dads are mostly rubbish. Shout out to you and your Pops if you’ve got one of the good ones, but for the rest of us, let us put our daddy issues aside for one minute to acknowledge the father’s that truly raised us…

5) Cliff Huxtable – The Cosby Show

Awful jokes, even more awful taste in knitwear, power to go to great lengths to make boys never come over to your house ever again – embarrassing, yes. But essentially, rad. He only gets number 5 though because being an Obstetrician, trying to stealthily hide an unplanned pregnancy under his roof would be nigh on impossible.

4) Ray Campbell – Sister Sister

Well he was kind of a square but essentially a total sweetie, and imagine him giving you a goodnight forehead kiss with his silly little ‘tache? Aaaaaw!

3) Herman Munster – The Munsters

Imagine if some boy was being a dick to you and your dad was Herman Munster and he went round his house and beat him up? Case closed. I want in on this family, Eddie’s still single, right?

2) Mufasa – The Lion King

I actually have nothing to say about this one because I went to find this video and am now HYSTERICALLY BAWLING MY EYES OUT!

And lastly, 1) Sandy Cohen – The O.C.

Because the kind of dad whose default response to any situation is to “shmear a bagel” is all every girl really wants. CARBS AND CHEESE SOLVE EVERYTHING.

I’ve Seen the Future, I’ve Seen…Light-up Stilettos

May 6, 2010 – 5:48 pm

Remember those L.A. Lights that were on pretty much every single one of your  birthday and Christmas list between 1992 and 1996? (Who am I kidding, I still want them now.) Well with all things 90s currently being a la mode it was only a matter of time before this one came around again. Consider these super cute Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte numbers your inner 8-year old’s much coveted L.A. Light’s mama!

Oh just imagine, sexy heels as well as your own personal discofloor with every step! Multitasking footwear, it’s the future.

You may remember Jimmy Choo’s similarly heel-luminated (word patent pending, copyright: me) Zap platform sandals a few months ago causing much of a stir.

We loved the fluoro heel/patent leather combo but for almost £2Gs not gonna lie, we’d be more likely to duct-tape a torch to the back of our Office pumps. Here’s hoping this is a trend the high streets are brave enough to steal try out in the next few seasons because Team Duchess is aaaaaaaaall over it!

It was all a dream I used to read Word Up magazine…

March 9, 2010 – 6:39 pm

Today marks the 13th anniversary of the death of the one and only Notorious B.I.G, and 13 years later his tunes are still bangers and his videos still some of the greatest hip hop videos of all time…OF ALL TIME! I’m referring mainly to the Sky’s The Limit vid which will forever be one of my faves, the mid to late-90s in general were a pretty good time for hip hop videos, (Hype Williams made sure of that) or is that just nostalgia creeping in?

Anyway, you know what just freaked me out? Biggie was about my age when he died :/ kind of puts things in perspective a bit. I remember listening to him when I was about 10 and he was like…a grown-up. I think that means that I’M a grown-up?? Must reassess life.

So let’s celebrate the life of Mr Christopher Wallace with some of our fave videos…

Happy B.I.G Day!

I'm a 90s Girl, in a 90s World

January 11, 2010 – 10:46 am

If you remember Moesha, Alex Mac, Blossom and Clarissa put your hands up… (I see you over there Miss Boom, relax yourself!) Its 2010 guys, we made it!! And I’m not gonna lie, it looks like Kirby will be bringing this look into the new decade with her – as if that’s even a problem??

Jeremy Scott “Floral Flight” leggings: super feminine, im really into floral and these are very “now”. New Kids On The Block “Hangin Tough” tshirt: How can you do a 90s look without NKTOB? Had to be done really. I guess this would be considered vintage? Is the 90s already vintage? Wow. Comb through eBay to find the OG pieces or find replicas at www.80stees.com. Relive your childhood crushes.“and ye know iiiit” £20 Don’t even talk to me about 90s without mentioning Dr Martens. I wore them all through school and now I really need this grey suede pair in my life. They’re amazing AND lined with wool to keep your toes super warm. HELL YES. ASOS.com £101 Plaid Shirt? You cannot go wrong with a Carhartt plaid shirt. I often steal the homeboy’s. Wear over leggings or even tights for a super 90s look. Carhartt £55. This is turning into an advert for Carhartt but, hey, you can’t beat quality. As soon as I saw this varsity, I pretty much fell in love. Leather sleeves and a heavy wool mix body, this gem will keep you warm which is important as this is allegedly the coldest winter Britain has seen for THIRTY YEARS (oh haaaaaaaaiiiiiii global warming, thanks for ruining my LIFE). Carhartt £250 Top of the look with a beanie (topshop) and some ultra red lipstick (preferably MAC). Topshop £10 Mac “Lady Danger” £12.50 Miss Niesh Money singing out…that’s what’s up!
