Beverly Hills 90210 could just as easily be named "The Problematics of Steve Sanders"...DON'T GET ME STARTED ON TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!

I am in grad school and I wrote a term paper in my US TV & Sexuality class about the treatment of the Walsh twin's "first time" on the show. Would you like to read it?

Ack I totally missed this, sorry!!  Hells yeah I would LOVE to read it!!!

GRANDPA FOREHEAD LINES!

Kelly’s two choices: spend the summer roller-skating with Brandon or traveling around the world with Grandpa Forehead Lines.

So I was going through my iphoto and I came across all these photos I took of jewelry that my ex-boyf had given me so that I could sell it on Craigslist after we broke up.  My first thought was, Wow, he kinda gave me a lot of stuff.  My second thought was, I can't believe I basically gave all that shit away omg I was so butthurt. My third thought was, Oh yeah and there was that diamond necklace I couldn't get rid of so I gave it to one of my students! I can't believe I did that.  My fourth thought was, I really like this necklace that my current boyfriend gave me for Christmas.  It would be a shame for it to end up on Craigslist one day.  My fifth thought, logically, was:

My sixth thought came from the devil and was:

   My seventh thought was:

And I am having my 8th thought now, which is that sometimes choosing me means being like:

Preferably

Thanks, Brandon, I try.

Don't hide behind a disguise.  Show the world who you are.  Because you might be dead soon.

pobody said: Lmao why do you hate Andrea so much

I don’t even know. It’s like they wanted her to be an assertive, smart foil to the Kelly/Brenda/Donna superficiality but they ended up with some weird, smug, holier-than-thou version of Drew Barrymore in Never Been Kissed. I feel like I may have made that comparison before but I’m almost entirely sure Andrea Zuckerman was the inspiration behind Josie Grossie. 

She was like the Kristy Thomas of 90210. And NOBODY liked Kristy Thomas.

TRUE!

NO ONE LIKED KRISTY!!!!  They should've made Andrea more like Dawn!  New-age Granola!  Like, Iris McKay as a youth!

LESSONS FROM SCOTT SCANLON:

1) If you are assigned a task (such as reading The Great Gatsby) that you feel is better suited for a future date (such as the 11th grade), seize the day and accomplish what you can now.  Because you might be dead soon.

2) Have fun while you can and prioritize your social life. Because you might be dead soon.

Dear All,

If you love Kelly Taylor (née Jennie Garth) as much as I do, you might be interested in this AMAZING flick HOLIDAZE which recently aired on the prestigious ABC Family channel and is sure to put Donna Martin's (née Tori Spelling) Mistletones TO SHAME.  TO SHAME I TELL YOU!  No joke, this is the perfect movie to watch if you are lucky enough to have a bit of a break over this holiday season.  It answers the age old question "Can a woman really have it all?" by creating an AU of Kelly's life via head trauma (I can't remember her actual character's name--why bother she will always be Kelly).  

IT'S JUST FAB.  And I mean, we all know that "Having it all" is still a construction of modernity that is grossly heteronormative and reeks of patriarchy, but HEY IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!  Tis the season for traditionalism (ps there was this one time that I was in Ross Dress 4 Less before I was a more enlightened individual and there was this kid there and he was staring at me and I was like, "Merry Christmas!" and he was like, "We don't celebrate Christmas we celebrate the Winter Solstice" and I was like, "Oh. That's nice." and then his mom came up and was like, "Bazelton! Let's go!" And snatched him away while looking at me like I was getting ready to touch his no-no spot while converting him to Christianity instead of looking for discount purses and trying to be nice to a child who had been temporaily ditched by his mother which is what I was actually doing. Anywho...)!  

So please enjoy and after you watch tell me...IS THIS NOT THE GREATEST MADE FOR TV HOLIDAY MOVIE TO AIR IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS EVER????  Kelly Taylor for Best Actress of late 2013!!!!  Happy viewing!

"Though not everyone is Christian, all people are affected by the spirit and harmony of the holidays."  -- JC's NSYNC Home for Christmas Liner Notes

Let it be known I have had this CD on repeat in my car since October 15th.  

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ALL!  I mean, if you're into that ;-)  If not, HAPPY DONNA MARTIN BIRTHDAY, ALL!

I appreciate a 90s throwback just as, if not more (okay always more) than the next person, but when Miley literally just pulls directly from classic annals of the 90s (DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE TUPAC/BIGGIE DRESS!) as another one of her lame attempts at cultural appropriation (SHE'S JUST BEING MILEY???  WHO THE HELL IS MILEY???  ALL YOU DO IS COPY PEOPLE'S STEEZ, MAN!), I can't help but want to be like:

Just sayin’.

Those bras were Victoria's Secret, very popular circa 1994.  I totally had one in a maroon-ish (not featured above) and wore it on my first date with Casey McGreevy.  We went to see Pulp Fiction and I had no idea how long it would be so we had to leave before it ended and even then I still missed my curfew.  My dad was so pissed.  Casey drove a red Jeep and played lacrosse and had shaggy hair.  I wanted him to ask me to the Christmas Dance and he totally didn't because he was going skiing with Mike Norco or some shit like that so I took my other friend Casey.  Then it was vacation and Casey (the first one) went on the school-sponsored ski trip and I told my friend Mimi to keep and eye on him and guess what?  HE AND MIMI TOTALLY MACKED.  (The word for making out in the mid-nineties.)  So anyways, I was heartbroken.  And pissed.  Needless to say we never had a second date.  Which was probably a blessing because I was a straight psycho in high school.

One of the many examples in which Brandon and Brenda demonstrated the simmering incest that bubbled underneath many of their scenes.  They are basically this Folgers commercial:

A little housekeeping! If I unfollow you I'll be refollowing you at my other account, Team Inappropriate, so I can keep this blog all BH90210 all most of the time (with a smattering of other important things from the 90s).  Cleaning up my dash on here will help me focus on the only person who is truly important: SCOTT SCANLON!  But also SOMEONE went ahead and THREW AWAY a perfectly good url, so I had to save it.  Thanks!!!
