Strike while the iron is hip

Today there is a transit strike and the city is half shut down. I'm profiting from my lack of classes and the poor weather to hunt down the full two-hour series premier of Beverley Hills 90210 on Youtube.

Oh the hair, the clothes, the music! 1990 really was the low point in world culture – all the shoulder pads of the 80s with none of the techno and raves of the 90s. (I do like Brenda's vampy cocktail dresses however).

Enjoy!

Check out Dylan's *pleated* acid-wash jeans! Yikes! I think my eyes are bleeding.

Oh Daniel,

Don't hate on the 80's fashion. It is most definitely returning. I see it in American Apparel all the time...not here mind you. Over here, a polo shirt and maybe a pair of imported Japanese jeans is as crazy as it gets.

katie-

Dylan doesn't appear in the pilot - I think he shows up in the 2nd or third episode. Sooo hunky.

I was talking about the cast photo that I uploaded. Most of the clothes aren't too offensive, but those jeans... ick!

So was watching the first episode like you were back in junior high or what?
