this show is soooo ridiculous i LOVE it. classic mtv. contestants live big brother style and have to do “70’s” themed challenges and aren’t allowed to use modern tech, and they are all disgusted by 70s style lol. it’s a really great example of how the early 2000s perceived the 70s, and how fashion, decor, and trends get distilled into the kitschiest version of themselves. really been interested in these cycles, i think we’re in the 2020s does 2010s twee/indie does 90s does 60s thing rn. think about all that transmutation! anyways the show is hilarious, i’m due for a rewatch, and it’s all available on youtube.

the mtv show
it didn't age well technically but it’s so good if you have an open mind and are nostalgic for trashiness

such a good comfort show. muted color palette, characters that feel like your friends, cool art style, 90s vibe…

i was just getting into my pjs after a 12 hour shift during which i smashed my finger in a car door, and noticed that my socks were the same beautiful burgundy as my undies. the perfect ending to my day, and something i’d never thought to do. a sign from the universe! burn your bras, it’s time to match your yippie to your tippies 🌅

i think this is something exclusive to quick oil change places. i was at valvoline, but the brand doesn’t matter. the experience started negatively, after the mechanic wrongly accused me of pulling the wrong lever to pop the hood. so i banished him, and thus began feeling like a princess in my castle. the pistons started roaring and i began to float. the pneumatic wrenches were vibrating the car from every tire and it brought me out of body. how strange to feel the extremities of a machine that has become become an extension of yourself. i used my $15 coupon (jesus oil is $89? i gotta learn to do it on my own 🤪), and rolled out while blowing kisses to everyone as they waved me on, including my giant inflated valvoline guard dog. my scarf billowed out the drivers side window (rear left window doesn’t roll down). i never get out of my car.
