Being An Australian Teenager In The 1990s

I’ve been listening to Crowded House’s greatest hits and fondly remembering how many earnest teenage tears I shed to Not The Girl You Think You Are, which in turn made me remember hosing myself down with Australis Waterberry body-spray at Mallacoota on New Year’s Eve.

Continuing in that theme…

  • Australis Body Sprays
  • Impulse
  • Coral Colours beige lipstick
  • Girlfriend and Dolly magazines
  • Dolly Prince Of TV
  • When Drazic made Anita shoplift menthol cigarettes
  • Cherry Lane
  • Risk Everything jeans
  • Tencel jeans
  • Regurgitator
  • hideous polyester body-shirts with citrus fruits on them
  • Judith Lucy & Helen Razer on JJJ
  • Staying up to watch Trent Reznor guest program rage
  • Dangerfield calico bags
  • Dangerfield glitter pots
  • Recovery
  • Recovery
  • Recovery
  • Thinking Vanessa from Jebediah was a really cute boy
  • Thinking Taylor Hanson was a really cute girl
  • Fudge hair-dye
  • People coming back to school with hair either dyed with Fudge or shaved (or both) after the Big Day Out
