Imagine how lame the special effects would be. Plus, Michael Fassbender and Charlize Theron wouldn’t even be a zygote. [via Vulture]

Linda Dano. The names themselves strike horror into my soul. Shown on Lifetime Television, Attitudes was like watching Tess McGill give us pointers on how to be a powerful shoulder padded woman in the ’80s but a lot more annoying and with lot more fake laughing and winking. Believe it or not, this show was pretty darn cool back in the day – mainly because Linda Dano donned Thierry Mugler more often than not (she’s wearing one a Mugler suit in the clip above). Hersha even told me that Dano was kinda considered a fashion icon back in the day. As for that disgusting red striped concoction that Nancy Glass is wearing, I have no idea what that’s all about. I am just glad that I remember the most important things from my past.

Yes, that is Paula Abdul with an Savalas-esque looking nose and a dress appropriate for a fiesta. And how about that lesbionic low-budget cast? Hot.
