Great flashback to 1991. God, is it really that long ago since Nirvana and grunge ;o)
I was 11 years old when Nirvana hit the scene, and that look affected my life for the next five years. I entered young adulthood amidst jeans worn low enough to be able to see your boxers (which girls were wearing too), big flannel shirts over tiny tees, and shoes that were ridiculously heavy. Ah, the memories. :)
Oh, I love this meme! And those movies! I have a copy of The Firm and Sleeping with the Enemy.
Maybe I'll watch them this weekend!
Oh, Silence of the Lambs! I get the creeps just thinking of it.
