So... we went to a nineties party.
As the name implies, the point was to show up in your best outfit representing that great great era of American fashion and culture: 1990 to 1999. Before Y2K happened, and everyone stopped wearing JNCO jeans, life was different. There was Seinfeld and Lunchables and Tamagatchis and Fruit Stripe gum and Saved By The Bell and Blossom and Clueless and Helen Hunt, and Britney Spears was still cute and Ricky Martin wasn't gay and Justin Timberlake hadn't gone solo and, of course, there were these clothes:
You missed the 90's didn't you? I can tell.
(These 2 pics are from the club sponsor's website, there was a photographer at the event going around taking everyone's picture- so that's why there is writing all over the photos.)
The next pictures are our personal ones. :)
Daniel's reaction to this photo? "Oh my GOD. I look like my father."
The full effect. Why have men stopped wearing jean shorts? Well, this picture may be the answer. Also, a big shout out to Auntie M- who bought me this amazing hat when I was 8 in 1993, and to Mom- who totally had this exact dress around the same time.
Our friend Greg actually still had his JNCO jeans from middle school.
And, possibly more incredibly, they still fit.
Also a shout out to the Commander in Chief of the Jazzy 90's: Bill Clinton.
Daniel and Peter, who was the organizer of this party.
Yes, Peter is wearing a Vanilla Ice t-shirt.
Rachel would like to remind you that in the 90's, there was no soup.
Daniel isn't just doing the Macarena...
he is doing the Macarena with a slap bracelet in his pocket.
Now EVERYONE is doing the Macarena.
Ta ta, lovelies! It's time to go back to the future!
