i found this empty potato chip bag outside while walking rover. first i just thought it was a funny thing to make a targeted brand for, like why potato chips? then i flipped it over and found all this weird abstinence propaganda. yikes! who even reads the back of a chip bag! (aside from me - i love reading those silly little over the top write-ups for branding)
There’s so much going on here, I’m a bit overwhelmed.
This exists? 1991? What a find!

Everytime I remember that there are people out there who actually enjoy Top Gear I die a little inside.
I was forced to watch it today - clockwork orange style. I don’t know how that program could be more annoying.
#complicated feelings about this
Come to think of it, her character in Roswell was like this too, by the time it got to the 3rd series she was all about getting married and being a good wife and learning to cook and not using her alien powers because that’s a betrayal of her human husband. That was so awful because I liked her character before that, she was sassy.

lush valentines giveaway!
hiya. i’m lois & i’m a wee bit lush obsessed! since it’s valentines in a few weeks, i thought it’d be nice to do a wee lush giveaway! i love giving people presents & making up a personalized lush valentines day gift set sounds like fun! ^_^
this giveaway will include:
lush - a million kisses lip tint;
This year’s most fashionable and romantic lips are most definitely going to be rosy! A Million Kisses is our special Valentine’s lip tint for kissable lips that smell divinely of roses.
The main ingredient in this luxurious balm is organic rose hip oil, which not only tastes delicious but works beautifully on dry skin. - Moisturising and rehydrating your lips to make them kissably soft. For the colour we’ve chosen a seductive deep ruby red; wear it with your “come hither” eyes for instant attraction.
lush - chou chou i love you toothy tabs;
The one thing you absolutely have to have on Valentine’s day is lovely sweet-smelling breath for all the kissing you’re going to be doing. These brand new Toothy Tabs are scented and flavoured with rose, so they taste like Turkish Delight and make sure you’ve got the sweetest smooches around during this, the season of romance.
lush - magic mushroom bubble bar;
Some like to say it with flowers, but if you really want to make an impression on your beloved then you can’t do better than a bunch of mushrooms! Our Magic Mushroom is possibly the cutest bubble bar we’ve ever made, and he’s back by popular demand for another shot with Cupid’s arrow.
Magic Mushroom’s bright red top is scented with our famous Vanillary fragrance, while his white stem smells of strawberries, making a yummy strawberries and cream combo that’ll give piles of fruity bathtime bubbles.
lush - love potion massage bar;
In days of yore, a young maiden with her eyes on a likely lad would ask the village wise woman for a love potion. These days a girl needs to take a more hands-on approach, so we’ve created this modern alternative which is sure to get you plenty of amorous attention from your special someone.
Love Potion is a massage bar with a difference. As well as the soft, melty cocoa and shea butters we’ve added some cornflour to the mix, which absorbs excess oils. So when the massage is over, you’ll be left with skin that feels soft and touchable, but not greasy.
Love Potion is perfumed with our best-selling Love fragrance; a light, sexy apple scent with citrusy top notes to inspire devotion.
lush - leap frog bath ballistic.
What could be more romantic than a fizzy amphibian with big red lips? Though Miss Piggy might find him attractive to look at, his true beauty only becomes apparent when he hits the water. He’ll fragrance your bath with a sexy perfume of jasmine, sandalwood and rose that’s sure to send you toadily wild for his froggy charms.
As 2012 is a leap year and according to an ancient tradition, February 29th is when the girls get to propose! So, in honour of this event, we decided to rename our famous Frog Prince Bath Bomb and bring him out to celebrate. And, if you’re wondering whether to pop the question, he might just help you make up your mind…
lush - sweetheart soap;
As one of the most sensual soap creations to ever emerge from the Lush labs, Sweetheart is a real stunner. It looks sweet and innocent in white and pale pink, but it lathers into creamy gorgeousness.
Sweetheart’s fragrance goes straight to the heart of the matter, with a sensual blend of jasmine, mandarin and vanilla to gently inflame the passions and get things moving in the right direction.

What’s the point if trying to play music when this bullshit exists?
This actually personally offends me and everything I stand for. Call me a bitch or whatever idgaf!!
True life, I hate this too.
This just baffles me… I mean do we need tips on how to look “riot grrrl”? Really??
“Here are the products you need to be punk” - just blows my mind, not that I’m against make up at all, but this is just an advertisement.
Yeah exactly, like I love makeup/hair shit as much as anyone, but if AP asked me to talk about it I would beat them up for not asking about, oh I dunno, THE MUSIC???
not totally sure what riot grrrl means to her or the writer of this article, but the movement and all associated with it means something so deep and liberating to me that this kind of shit really hurts my personal feelings (not to even touch on what my feminist/musician side thinks about it). lol, cool, another dude centered music publication manages to take a movement so personal and angry and affective to so many people and reduces it to a pointless article about omgcutequirkygirlsontour and like vintagedocmartens. I don’t know much about mariel or her band so she may have completely different feelings on this, but what dom said, if someone asked me to reduce my idols and mentors into a fashion style and have it written up in a very seventeen magazine-esque style in a magazine that does nothing to showcase or further female empowerment in the alternative scene, i’d throw the fuck down.
here are the gifs that express what i cannot right now.
Yeah, pretty much. Also it shows how pointless those articles are, pointless and aspirational because Mariel’s style is obviously pretty low-maintenance, those products are probably pretty interchangeable/non-essential for her ‘look’. Those articles come from a long tradition of getting you to buy things you don’t need because someone you admire allegedly uses them. And this keeps women in this trap of buying more and more things just to look ‘normal’ even, and even someone who doesn’t have a particularly unusual ‘look’ is valued more for that than their actual music.
cassette decks
cassette decks that had auto-reverse
and then
dual cassette decks with auto-reverse
became
portable cassette players
^ with auto-reverse
and finally
PORTABLE DUAL CASSETTE PLAYERS WITH DUAL AUTO-REVERSE
and ^ that was the way I carried my music.
I am ollllllddddd
Cassette singles.
Taping songs off the radio.
Frantically trying to put records on tape before you had to replace the needle.
That little BEE BEE BEE BEE BEEP? at the beginning and end of prerecorded cassettes
Putting scotch tape over the notches so you could tape over a prerecorded cassette
Having to sit and rewind the tape with a pencil in the spool whenever it snarled in the deck
recording over a cassette and still being able to hear what was on it before :S
with me it could have been…. a Lush album but you could still hear Selected Tales from Hans Christian Anderson underneath from an earlier point in my childhood.
