Celebrity Buzz Enjoy this video in which a young Zac, Taylor, and Issac Hanson sing and dance their hearts out at a 1992 audition. It's no wonder they gave it up.
Style Buzz Elegant dresses and sparkly fascinators take the forefront. We've recycled the 70s, 80s and 90s. Can we borrow this trend from South Korea and get our glamour on? (via dustyburrito.blogspot.com)
Food Buzz 20 cents for a Milkshake? If only McDonald’s prices stayed like this!

Culture Buzz What started out as a simple google image search resulted in this giant collection of Valentines from the past. Send them to your friends!
Food Buzz It's pretty crazy to see how graphic design shifts ever so slightly throughout the years. From typography to the actual iconic images on our favorite cereals, there seems to be a pattern in advertising where they get bigger and bolder over time. All I know is cereal mascots will forever be engrained in my sugary sweet memory. (via theimaginaryworld.com)

Toys were serious business back in the day. Smiling and “having fun” are for children that don’t understand the gravity of playthings.
Movie Buzz “How’s your driving record? Clean?” ”It’s clean, real clean. Like my conscience.” (Via )
Culture Buzz Victoria Beckham for Polaroid! Jesse Eisenberg for Oxy! Fergie for Bongo Jeans! Pink for Jelly Roll gel pens! Looking back, it seems like any ol' celebrity would slap their name onto a now-dated product with little remorse for how it would translate years later.
Pizza-lovin', party-dude Michelangelo was more my jam at his age, but I can respect a kid who can appreciate the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Cowabunga, dude.

Some of what passed for everyday life 75 or 100 years ago would send you running screaming in the other direction today. And when those scenes are captured on grainy old-school film, you get the stuff of nightmares.

TV Buzz Sure, '90s Nickelodeon comedies are back, but I won't rest until we can see the original commercials during the breaks. Someone send me a good VHS!
TV Buzz As a Doctor Who fan, I love it when I can get a glimpse of what goes on in between the Doctor's adventures (huge thanks to whoever decided to create the “Meanwhile, in the TARDIS” DVD extras for series 5). Apparently, so does graphic designer Andrew Le. He has created a series of three vintage-inspired vacation posters depicting where the Doctor goes when he needs a break from saving the universe. While you guys try to find the TARDIS in these posters, I'm going to see if I can get these for my room. (via geekosystem.com)
