G: Grunge *90's Pop Culture Favorites* #AtoZchallenge

I may have come of age in the preppy 80's, but I was more than willing to jump off the overly-processed fashion train to embrace the grunge trend with worn jeans & cozy flannel---ironing optional. Thank you angsty Pacific Northwest bands who were too into your music to care about what you wore. Thank you.

Ah yes, grunge. I was definitely into the music more than the fashion. The worn & torn jeans were cool, and I had at least one pair of Chucks but I never wore boots or flannel (I always wore cardigans instead. still do.) so maybe I wasn't "grunge" as much as I just copied Kurt Cobain :D

Never into flannel, but I did dig the grunge music.

The grunge look amused me. I'm from the Pacific NW and we always dressed like that.

If flannel shirts, worn jeans, hiking boots are Grunge -- that's me -- if Stetsons are allowed that is. :-)

Didn't like the music or the style. Glad my children didn't embrace it either.

Look at all that fabulous grunge chic! I owned my fair share of flannel, too :)

Grunge didn't start until after we left the Seattle area. I had a friend who stayed there, and her daughter met all the members of the up and coming new bands, such as Nirvana. Ah, I always miss out.

Love,

I loved that baggy shirt and jeans stage. Why can't we go back to that? ;)

I still wear flannel -- it does a great job of keeping me warm when I'm out in snowy country and it's near zero degrees. And I still listen to a healthy dose of grunge.

Is grunge like punk rock? But just a difference in era, maybe?

You know the father of grunge was Neil Young, though, right? Until he made that song. . .

It was the coolest thing to wear guy's flannel shirts. I wore my dad's clothes for awhile. That is pretty weird to me now. Later I wised up and went the girl-grunge route a-la Courtney Love with the babydoll dresses or little slip dresses. The 90s weren't all bad but grunge was almost like giving up. I'm glad we all saw the light!

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
