In her defense, after TRL she was heading out to the roller rink. She was going to ask Nick to skate with her when the DJ played Leather And Lace.

You know, it seems to be th end of her marriage to Tommy Mattola (sp?) that she's become an eternal 80's teen.

I wish I had enough money to be that batshit.

Is she on her way to the Lisa Frank store? Tell Mimi to pick me up a unicorn pencil topper. My ice cream cone is so yesterday!

1989 Killorn would have paired that look with a white turtleneck (underneath the button up, natch) two pairs of scrunch socks stuffed into silver high top converse.

Thanks for the mammaries, Mimi.

Killor, I would have said British Knights. But I suppose that is a fine example of our different world views.

I might have even worn my rad B.U.M. equipment sweatshirt.

favorite outfit in 7th grade: Black turtleneck, black, red and white patchwork plaid esprit vest, MATCHING PLAID SHORTS worn over black tights, one red pair and one black pair of scrunch socks mushed into Keds, and, inexplicably, a BOLO TIE with a PEWTER SNAKE winding it's way up the bolo only to split off into two heads with fake rubies for eyes.

Oh, and the claw bangs. Musn't forget those.

Let's see, at that age, it was 1990-91 for me. I was kinda an unpopular chick (big surprise, right?). I tended to wear what I wear now, oddly enough. T-shirts, levi's and chuck taylors. I'm sorta eterna-bland.

good call alice. it's sad to see when a tragedy stops someone in their tracks from getting any older. i mean i'm a prime example, so i'm not pointing fingers.

i tried so hard to like this outfit. it's not like the colors are unattractive. but ugh… even i can't find the good side of this. mariah stop posing knock-kneed! it probably does make your thighs look better but it makes you look…. posed and kinda insecure.

insecure! that's the word i was looking for

this is exactly the outfit i would have put together if my mom had allowed me to dress really slutty when i was 11. i like to think that after this appearance mariah went home to play barbies.

I am over the enternal 12 year old sex kitten act she still does. Even Marilyn Monroe dressed like a woman even if some people felt she too did the enternal 12 year old sex kitten act as well, but MM looked like a woman and was dressed fully. MC grow up, you are almost 40, you can still flaunt your shape and sexuality, but do it in outfits suitable for your age

Well at least no butterfly rings or barettes, but I see she did reference glitter in this outfit

Aawww, I think she looks cute. But then, I am the grandmotherly/momma type.

She really reminds me of a delicious sorbet here.

i have decided i could stand the shirt if she wore it with some high-waisted slacks.

She seems to think it's 1995 and that she's a 12 year old street walker. TOOT TOOT. Time to get off the h0 train. Most get off by 20 when they develop confidence which allows them to exude sexiness instead of desperation.

that blouse looks like it came out of a 75% clearance rack at mervyns. GET A NEW STYLIST.
