What Growing Up In The 90s Actually Looked Like

I was born in 1988, so I spent most of my prime childhood years in the 90s. That meant that I was at the perfect age for the big Disney renaissance, a large percentage of the clothing I owned was either floral or neon, and of course, scrunchies were my go-to. Here's the extra fun part about my childhood: my mother was an avid photographer, so most of it is caught on film - yes, film - and now I have these old film photos digitized so I can help you remember what it was like to be young and

They Ran The Coolest Magazine On TV, But What Has The Cast Of 'Just Shoot Me' Been Up To Since?

There were a few shows that everyone watched growing up. Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld, and other popular sitcoms seemed to completely take over television screens. However, in my family, you could find us watching a less popular but equally funny show called Just Shoot Me. The show was a lighthearted look at the magazine industry, think Devil Wears Prada, only instead of a high pressure environment where your boss is the scariest person imaginable, you work for a lovable goofball.
