Are you a 90's woman?

Technically, this is me as a 2000 woman. But it's the closest I could get.
If you own a pair of Doc Martens you didn't buy at a consignment shop a couple months ago, you might be a 90's woman. You also might be a 90's woman if you're on 90sWoman.com, a pseudo-snarky throwback (!) feminist blog about the decade that happened before this one. The blog is written by actual writers (isn't it wonderful having to explain that? Meep.)

They tackle issues like the great 90's thong scare, sexual harassment, and what 90's celebrities do on Twitter with regard to 70's sex scandals:

Never before have I felt close to Jewel, but now I do. She wrote on Twitter: "Polanski admitted raping a 13-yr-old. Why's everyone in the arts upset he's facing jail? Cause he's a gifted director? What am I missing?" Go Jewel.


The blog itself is a little bare bones at the moment--lots of links and blurbs, but not a whole lot of discussion and analysis. Ladies, 90's women were about more than just "Remember when?", so can't the blog be, too? What I'm really looking forward to 90's testimonials from nostalgic 90's women. I was 16 in 1999 ... can I be a 90's "woman," please?

I was a 90's child. Does that count?

My god, Andrea... I think I had that exact same outfit at one time. Then again in the 90s, so did everyone else!

I am wearing a plaid flannel shirt RIGHT NOW.

And listening to Mudhoney.

I have the Doc Martens and the pictures to prove it, oh yeah.

If you listen to Mudhoney, you're good in my book.
