Winning Girl, Strong Girl and Losers from the 90s

Congratulations to Courtney!
She entered the GirlShop contest on this site and won a pair of sexy skinny jeans! I hear from a source that she's quite a catch- D.C. better watch out- there's nothing more dangerous than a hot woman in a pair of designer jeans...


Speaking of sexy jeans, nothing tops them off like a unique, one-of-a kind tee shirt.
Strong Girl Inc. is a little design studio in Chicago featuring eye-catching tops that are sure to turn heads. I love these designs- they're truly original as they combine urban, classic, and classy styles. Strong Girl's designer believes "in EMPOWERING girls starting at a young age so they have the opportunity to grow into confident, intelligent women." Her work clearly comes from a place of self-empowerment- her shop is definitely worth a visit!

Turning from winners to losers- and the empowered to hopeless...
(sorry the pictures were just too ugly/ depressing, had to take 'em down)

Yo!! What's the deal with these 90's stars!?
I'm not one to write about celebrities because in most cases, I don't care. I mean, every now and then a story raises my eyebrow - but generally I could care less about what's-his-name's crazy religion or what's-her-name's new baby.

These stories, however, are too ridiculous not to mention.
First, I don't know the whole scoop- but apparently Aaron Spelling of 90210/ Melrose Place died.... I was never a huge 90210 fan, but I have to admit I looooved Melrose Place. Amanda was amazing... and of course, Kristin Davis was gorgeous as Brooke (all Brooke's are fabulous, don't cha know).
Anyway, so A.S. was worth like $300 million when died and left his "why-was-she-cast-for-this-show?" daughter just under a million. I can "understand her anger"... I mean from what it sounds like she was totally waiting to cash in.
I hear she's going to all these extremes to supplement her meager inheritance, including selling her clothes on ebay. I didn't believe it at first, but rumor mill Idontlikeyouthatway.com has the whole scoop, including a link to her ebay site. It's so sad because its like a site full of broken dreams. 90210 dolls, magazine covers and really ugly clothes in size ana- 000.
The annoying part is, you'd think she's destitute. Do you know what I could do with "just under a million dollars?" Pay off my all my undergrad and law school loans and buy a cute little condo in Jamaica Plain and still have money left over to supplement my desire to pursue a career in public interest law.
I don't feel sorry for her.

To make 1990's TV matters worse, we turn our attention to Saved by Bell. Saved by the Bell always bothered me from numerous reasons... for instance, why was Lisa (so hot!) always stuck with Screech? Anyway, speaking of Screech- he is apparently in such a bad way that he's actually selling t-shirts in an attempt to save his house from foreclosure. Weren't there like 10 seasons plus two spin-off shows and a movie?! What did he do with all his money?

More later... time to escape this heat. Here's another contest from Coutorture if you didn't make it there yesterday. Sorry for the "as worn by" part... but you know deep down inside you long to be like Tori.. I mean, Teri and Nicole.

* also sorry about any typos- I'm bad at editing these posts!
