Celebrating 9.02.10 With David Silver

As 9.02.10 comes to a close, let us reflect on the best thing to come from the original Beverly Hills 90210: David Silver.

Celebrate Madonna’s Birthday with Burning Crosses and War-Themed Fashion Shows

August 16 marked the 52nd birthday of pop icon, Madonna. She is still as relevant as ever — even if she does seem to be eclipsed by some of this wacky glam pop madness we are witnessing. If she wasn’t, I wouldn’t be wondering if she prefers Red Lobster or Olive Garden for her birthday...

Workout Song of the Week: ‘You Want This’ by Janet Jackson

Yes, that was MC Lyte (I think). There’s nothing like running along the Embarcadero whilst listening to a genuine ’90s midriff exposing, gyrating jam – especially if it’s sung by the sultry, breathy whisper of Janet Jackson.

The Jordan Catalano obsession lives on

Angela’s over-analytical angst and the quiver lip cry – I believe this is where Claire Danes originated this technique. Rayanne’s drinking problem and her profound & unintentionally amusing monologue in “Our Town.” Graham and Patty’s tightly wound marriage. Brian Krakow’s awkward open-mouthed glare (and first erection from physical contact – thank you Delia Fisher). Rickie’s...

Your douche is so out of style!

I hate it when my friends call my douche “outdated.” It makes me feel so uncool. I know I always try to keep in vogue when it comes to the latest technological and fashionable advances in a douche. Is it me or were people more open about their douching back in the ’80s and ’90s?...

Time to downgrade my phone

The other night after eating a garlic noodle/salt and pepper-infused dinner at PPQ, I was surrounded by my friends fiddling with their iPhones, Blackberries and all of that other techie cell phone jazz. I, on the other hand, was looking at my Nokia. It’s plain. It doesn’t have a camera and it dates back to...

The best dancer at West Beverly High

One more thing – remember how David Silver was considered the best dancer at West Beverly High? And then he went on to have a singing career and have a swing at gangsta rap? That was awkward. Anyways, in the episode of the previous post, David finally entranced Donna with the art of dance, thus...

90210 Analysis Part 2: Kelly’s Dress and Brandon’s socks

I am still on my Beverly Hills 90210 kick and I am on the second season and I have stumbled upon so many good episodes including the Emily Valentine craziness (believe me, I’ll get to that later). Anyways, I was watching the episode titled “Chuckie’s Back” where Steve has a run-in with his childhood nemesis...

Who’s the biggest bitch on 90210?

Yes. The answer to that is Andrea Zuckerman. In the same episode I blogged about yesterday, she acts all high and mighty when Brenda asks her if she could help out with the “rap line.” Andrea was really pissing me off in this episode. She basically thought she was better than Brenda and automatically assumed...

Beverly Hills, 90210 Analysis: Part 1

Many of you may already know that I have this current obsession with 90210. Maybe it’s because the spin-off is coming out soon. I know for damn sure that it won’t live up to the original, so for the next couple of weeks (or until I finish the first season), I’m going to do an...
