'cause girl you've got the love I need

Oh, man. I'm never reading another magazine when it comes out again - they're so much better a few years down the line! Like some bizarre wine/cheese combination, they age both gracefully and pungently, but the content is ever so much more fun with a bit of ironic distance and hindsight bias. They did call it on Beyonce though, who apparently wrote eleven out of sixteen songs on Destiny's Child's The Writing's On the Wall, which, wow.

So, to share in my joy, I now take you on an illustrated journey back to a more innocent time, all the way to the year ( 2000! (February Teen People edition). )

I was otherwise productive today as well, sorting out my bathroom and throwing away some old clothes, in the process finding the first dress I ever remember men looking at me like that in. I was fourteen. The hem hits a little above mid-thigh now and is a bit more snug on top, but that it still fits almost perfectly makes me a happy, happy girl.
