Leotards worn with jeans anyone?!

[ScienceRocks]

Huevos, are you me? I still listen to pearl jam and nirvana, and can't drink lilt because of blastaway nights!

I still love friends too, which started in the 90s, and dress much the same as I did then (boots, leggings, dresses, black eyeliner) and even have Rimmel black cherries lipstick tucked away somewhere. I may need to grow up and get with modern times...

[littlebluedog12]

Hahaha yes, The Word and Eurotrash!

Also staying up all night in the holidays watching Prisoner Cell Block H (although I suspect that may have been just me and my sister...)

[ScienceRocks]

Not leotards, minimalist, they were called bodies because they had those really uncomfortable poppers that dug into your bits if you didn't wear knickers underneath... I had a lot of those...
