The Lost Fashion of ATLANTIS! (1990's FTW!)

[Jaythechauffeur]

I remember when i had my MC Hammer pants...I couldn't wear them on windy days cause I might have blown away....I think they were even splatter painted...lol

[WHITEA42]

Biggest fashion mistake of the 90's was neon animal print Zubaz pantz :) made popular by some football player.

[Fryinberg]

you should have seen my 97 dr650 before i painted it. reminded me of saved by the bell

[67kneil]

low rise ass crack pants, oh wait thats present time

[Ad714n83]

So EPIC! Its like a 4 year old ate crayons, and vomited all over a powersports dealer! rofl

[Aonexia]

Brings back so many memories... I was a Sea World of Central Florida Marine Animal Keeper back then and we would rescue manatees and dolphins on the coast seeing people dressed up on their Seadoo with these colors. Haaa! Fun times! :-D

[lauriejennifer]

@Aonexia What a cool job! Ah, memories...

[Aonexia]

@lauriejennifer No worries! :-D Oh, I too am minor dyslexic... Although, where I work requires one to focus and think out of the box in order to save lives in the emergency room. There will alway's be a place for us Lauriejellifer...:-D!

Oh! The KTM ride went brilliantly well that day after you posted the video. Thank you for poking me here in Oregon to Ride!!! Keep up the fab work. We all love it!!!

[lauriejennifer]

@Aonexia Hehe. That made me smile. Thanks.

I'll have to check out the video. Jealous of your KTM! What a great bike. And thanks! I hope and intend to!

[lauriejennifer]

So, who else can quote the entire beginning to Fresh Prince?

[ifuckedbonjovi]

Hypercolour t-shirts.

[lauriejennifer]

@ifuckedbonjovi Ha, nice! Still have any?

[D00mM4r1n3]

Definitely needed to pause the video to read the text, I was born in '77, my biggest fashion blunders were corduroy pants, short shorts and a mullet. Everything I had in the late '80's early '90's was neon (I still like neon in-fact) and our house had cheap wood panelling.

[lauriejennifer]

@D00mM4r1n3 Corduroy is awesome! But short shorts and mullets? Man, that's awful. Neon is cool and all... but everything in moderation! Haha. Wood paneling! Yes! Haha!

[KeriNyx]

I also was born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s but I went to a private elementary school with uniforms and during the weekends I just wore jeans and t-shirts cuz I was a bit of a tomboy, so I didn't really have many of my own fashion faux pas, but I do remember owning a few slap bracelets and neon colored scrunchies... haha :D

[lauriejennifer]

@KeriNyx You narrowly escaped, it sounds like. Scrunchies! Yes! Haha! Slap bracelets were the bomb! They were banned in our school, as kids were getting rashes and mild burns on their wrist from slapping the bracelet on over and over. There were also contests and games where you would slap bracelets on each other as hard as you could. I don't think those games had a point. I think that was the point.

[MsRandomness]

Growing up in the '90's, I remember people wearing those puffy, matching pant and jacket suits that made the "swish-swish-swish" noise whenever they moved. They were almost always in neon colors. I think they were made of polyester but I'm not sure... My mother made me wear those things.

[lauriejennifer]

@MsRandomness Ha, yes! Those 90's business suits made we wonder how on earth anyone got a job! Then again, the 90's was a "boom" time... Maybe I should show up for the next job interview wearing a suit like that? I'm sorry your mother subjected you to that. Child abuse!

[bakker46]

Good thing i don't remember much of the 90's (i was 12 then)

[lauriejennifer]

@bakker46 I remember having a lot of neon. And scrunchies.

[MetalHeadKLR650]

Bring back JAM SHORTS!

[lauriejennifer]

@MetalHeadKLR650 Haha! YES!

[leoffensive]

i miss those day of bright splatter painted colors. good times

[lauriejennifer]

@leoffensive I had a splatter painted T-shirt. I don't know whatever happened to it. I hope I had the decency to burn it. LOL

[leoffensive]

@lauriejennifer haha no way i loved those days and the colored sun screen called zinka! those were the days!!!

[lauriejennifer]

@leoffensive Oh, my. I totally forgot about the colored sunscreen! I totally had that! Haha!

[leoffensive]

@lauriejennifer good stuff

[dodgerider26]

You totally cut out my little blurb and used it as a way to make Suzuki sound bad. GRRR.

My first bike was a 91 Katana 750 and it was painted a mirage color scheme... but under that paint was a bright, neon pink color. The bike originally was neon hot pink with lavender purple wheels and a purple seat. It's like, Suzuki took such a great bike and then painted it to look like ... ash? cash? pass? something that rhymes with those....

[lauriejennifer]

@dodgerider26 Haha! Well, I don't think it made Suzuki sound bad. You said it was a great bike. What sounded bad was Suzuki's sense of fashion. And, let's face it, the 90's were a dark time for fashion...

[tonythephatone]

best line. 'suzuki took such a great bike and than painted it to look like a--'*video cuts* XDD made my morning LJ

[lauriejennifer]

@tonythephatone Haha! It was a great line. Glad it made you smile. He's a great vlogger. Random, epic stuff like that is always coming out of his mouth.

[HappyGizmo993]

@lauriejennifer lol don't feel bad, i feel the same way when me and my friends talk about the good 90s cartoons and some random kid don't know what were talking about. I feel so bad for them and die a little inside.

[lauriejennifer]

@HappyGizmo993 The 90's were the golden age of cartoons. I used to want to be Darkwing Duck when I grew up. And when a coworker was giving me a ride home after work today, we were reminiscing about the 90s and ended up singing Ren and Stimpy's "It's a Log!" song together. Haha. Good times.

[delacob]

@lauriejennifer So that's why you kept that witch's cape around... :P

[tonythephatone]

paused like a BOSS.

[lauriejennifer]

@tonythephatone Woot! *high five*

[HappyGizmo993]

I was born in 93, so I don't remember much D:

[lauriejennifer]

@HappyGizmo993 Thanks. Thanks for that. Now I feel old. :P

[Lazerecho]

Neon is coming back to a degree, at least for spring.

[lauriejennifer]

@Lazerecho Sweet! My riding gear will finally be 'cool!' LOL

[TheTacticalBarrage]

Parachute pants....

[lauriejennifer]

@TheTacticalBarrage Oh no! Haha! Now I kinda wanna say, "Pics or it didn't happen," but I fear for my breakfast. :-P

I was obsessed with slap bracelets.

[7hunted]

We must all go back to the 90's, they rocked !

[lauriejennifer]

@7hunted No way! 90s = ALMOST as bad as the 80s. Dark times, despite what the hipsters say.

[azwakko]

I paused it like a BOSS lol good I can't read that fast. I was born in 1974 so I lived in the dark times. the funny part is I always liked bikes and the owtlaw thing 1% not that I'm one just a fan so no pink for me been doing the blue jeans and black t-shirt since 1989. Still fun to look back and LMAO at what the fashonable was doing.

[lauriejennifer]

@azwakko The fashion then was hilarious! Jeans and a shirt is simple. I have lots of friends like that. You can't go wrong!

But, come on, be honest.. surely you had some haircut doozies back in the day...

[spicy110]

Amazing! If you find anymore like this do show! Lol

[lauriejennifer]

@spicy110 I will! There are lots of cool things like this, but I often forget to share with the interwebz.

[Dexi]

ohh geez. Where do you work, LJ?

My best fashion story: I wore a purple shirt, in like...94/95/96 something. And I had this fluffy bowl-cut hair style. My mom took me to mcdonalds and they gave me the barbie happy meal instead of the hotwheels one. Good times.

[neversurdender]

@Dexi I think she works at a kawasaki dealership.

[lauriejennifer]

@Dexi Haha! I had a neon green shirt with multi-colored neon spandex and multicolored neon shoes (one with hot pink laces, one with hot green laces). My hair was often short as a kid, as it was just easier to keep up with. I was a tomboy and long hair would just get tangled and dirty. But, the short hair, combines with the gender neutrality of the colors I wore means that I also was often mistaken for the wrong gender in public.

I work at a dealership, and for an inner city ministry.

[BrianWest58]

They left out the neon wayfarer sunglasses! LOL

[lauriejennifer]

@BrianWest58 OMG! They did! Sacrilege! LOL

[davetechme]

I love the 90s damn it! lol

[lauriejennifer]

@davetechme Dude, naw.
