494. Seventeen Magazine, March 1997 - part 2
(Part 1)
Woah, this was the best LeAnn looked when she was a teenager. The staff did an amazing job on her. I feel like she kinda adopted this look after this shoot, right?
Maybe with the exception with the black and white dress on the right, JCPenney really dropped the ball. None of the prom looks in the actual issue matches the prom looks we see int the ads.
There's that green again! This time on Jordana Brewster.
Moisturizer and translucent powder seems like a patchy mess? y/n?
OH HERE WE GO BBY OLD NAIL POLISH FROM THE BEST ERA OF NAIL POLISH: THE MID 90s.
There's a great TikTok/instagram account called Vintage Dusties that showcases the most amazing 90s polish. I wonder what ever happened to Ripe brand polish? I saw it a few times in Seventeen, but I can't find a bottle on eBay or a mention online anywhere.
Pastel was an icon, it was a legend, it was the moment.

These potpourris from the Gap look redic. You know they lost their scent almost immediately. I found one on eBay.
Man, back when Urban decay was grunge. Miss those days.
Ok, why couldn't Billy go to the prom with Michelle? Was he over 18?
I remember reading this as a thirteen year old, and thinking "yeah, nobody's mom is gonna allow that." I remember the doggy too!
It took me a few seconds to understand the cutting the straps off of life jackets and making belts out of them. Let's hope that L.W. is using top coat to seal those letters. Thea R. discovered prison makeup!
Here's the ketchup mustard and lettuce dresses we saw in last year's issue, but longer this time.
Baby Spice Girls!
Baby King of the Hill! The show had only been on at a couple of months at this point.
We were all still living in 1997, but Chaweon was living in 1999 with that amazing makeup.
This was part of the School Zone section they ran every month. Everybody always messed up their $50 JanSport with patches.
This looks almost like the dress Jordana was holding up a few pages earlier.
As someone who wears tights several days a week, I would invest in those $34 ones.
I remember the Chris O'Donnell story! Just because I didn't know what crew was back then. I thought a "crew meet" was Chris and his teammates setting up a stage set in record time. I was a very uncultured child.

Fast X (2023)
"Fast X" charges onto the silver screen in 2023, igniting an adrenaline-fueled American action extravaganza. Helmed by visionary director Louis Leterrier, this pulse-pounding addition to the renowned "Fast X" franchise was masterfully scripted by a trio of esteemed writers: Dan Mazeau, Justin Lin, and Zach Dean. Returning to the helm of the film, Vin Diesel reprises his iconic role as Dominic Toretto, leading a star-studded ensemble cast that reads like a Hollywood hall of fame. Alongside Diesel, the cast boasts electrifying performances from Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Jason Statham, Jason Momoa, and Charlize Theron. This gripping tale revolves around Toretto, once again thrust into peril as he fiercely safeguards his family from the clutches of a formidable new nemesis, Dante Reyes, portrayed by Momoa. Reyes, driven by vengeance for his father's demise and his family's fortune, becomes an unrelenting force to be reckoned with.
"Fast X" has been a labor of love since 2014, with plans for a climactic two-part finale unveiled in October 2020. Although Justin Lin initially returned as director, creative divergences prompted his departure from the project, although he retained involvement as a writer and producer. Louis Leterrier was subsequently enlisted as Lin's successor, injecting his unique touch and overseeing several script revisions.
The film boasts a captivating soundtrack crafted by Brian Tyler, a longtime composer for the franchise, who once again weaves an evocative musical tapestry for this installment. With a staggering estimated budget of $340 million, "Revolution Run: Rise of Speed" stands as the eighth most expensive film ever created, showcasing the franchise's unwavering commitment to high-stakes, top-tier entertainment.
Principal photography for "Fast X" spanned several months, from April to August in 2022, encompassing diverse shooting locations across the globe. Spectacular sequences were captured in iconic cities such as London, Rome, Turin, Lisbon, and Los Angeles, each providing a distinctive backdrop for the unfolding action and drama.
The highly anticipated premiere of "Fast X" took place at The Space Cinema Roma Moderno in Rome on May 12, 2023. Subsequently, the film enthralled audiences across Europe and South America from May 17, before racing into theaters in the United States and Canada on May 19. Universal Pictures distributed the film, which received a mixed reception from critics. While some scrutiny fell upon the writing, the cast's performances, particularly Momoa's standout portrayal of the vengeful Dante Reyes, garnered well-deserved praise. Despite the varied critical response, audiences flocked to witness the spectacle, propelling the film to a staggering worldwide box office gross of $318 million, securing its position as the eighth highest-grossing film of 2023.
In summary, "Fast X" represents another heart-stopping chapter in the "Fast & Furious" saga, delivering breathtaking car chases, intense action, and an ensemble cast that sets the screen ablaze. Against a backdrop of global locales, this film weaves a captivating tale of family, loyalty, and revenge, making it an unmissable cinematic experience for aficionados of the franchise and adrenaline-pumping cinema alike.
