Ugliest Bridesmaid Dresses

Ugliest Bridesmaid DressesUgliest Bridesmaid Dresses, This bridesmaid dress, featured in a popular sitcom from the 1990s, looks like what you might get if a box full of knick-knacks exploded in a lingerie store. From the bustier bodice to the absurd sleeves, this dress takes ugly to a whole new level. But it’s the little birds decorating the dress that really make it unbelievable. Not even Brooke Shields could look good in this.

Suddenly Susan is an American sitcom that was broadcast on NBC from 1996 to 2000. The show takes place at The Gate, a fictitious magazine which is based in San Francisco. Among the magazine’s employees is Susan Keane (played by Brooke Shields), who always has been cared for by someone else. However, when she realizes that she and her wealthy, vain fiancé, Kip, are not meant for each other and that there’s more to life than just being known as the “s” in “The Kip Richmonds”, she abruptly leaves him at the altar… and now she’s suddenly just Susan.

Susan’s boss, Jack Richmond (Judd Nelson), the rebellious brother of Susan’s former fiancé, Kip, assigns Susan to write a regular column about being suddenly single. Susan’s coworkers include photographer Luis Rivera (Nestor Carbonell), boyish rock music reporter Todd Stites (David Strickland), restaurant critic Vicki Groener (Kathy Griffin), and, in later episodes, investigative reporter (and Susan’s old enemy) Maddy Piper (Andréa Bendewald). Susan’s grandmother and confidant, Nana (Barbara Barrie), stands as a loving pillar of encouragement in Susan’s otherwise hectic life.

Besides the task of putting together a magazine and focusing on the lead character’s life, Suddenly Susan also focuses on the private lives of many employees in the show.

Fast Times At Ridgemont High

Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Ask almost anyone who pays attention to the athletic footwear industry and they’ll undoubtedly tell you that Vans is virtually synonymous with skate culture. It was a brand founded in the 1960s by what this world needs more of today, intuitive entrepreneurs.

In the case of Vans, those intuitive entrepreneurs were the Van Doren brothers, James and Paul. As other footwear brands have fallen by the wayside, either through closure or merger, Vans remains strong to this day thanks to the company’s responsiveness and ingenuity. It is also getting ready to celebrate an anniversary this year. Here are the details:

2012 marks the 20th Anniversary of the Vans Half Cab, one of the company’s most iconic pairs of skate shoes. Perhaps what makes the Half Cab stand out more than its patented sticky, waffle sole is the shoes’ origin. Like the checkerboard slip-ons of Fast Times at Ridgemont High fame, the Half Cabs were created by some of the company’s core consumers. In this case, it was skaters. The Half Cab started out in life as a pair of 1980s high top, signature skate shoes designed for pro skater extraordinaire, Steve Caballero. When the sport started transitioning from concrete pools to concrete sidewalks, skaters did what skaters do best, get creative. The high tops were too restrictive for executing street tricks so skaters began lopping off the tops of the shoes and strengthening the newly exposed edges with duct tape. The improvements caught the eye of the shoes’ namesake and in less time than it takes to bust out a kickflip nowadays, the Half Cab was born. In honor of the Half Cab’s milestone, Vans is planning to release 12 limited editions of the skate shoes throughout the year.

For January 2012 the limited edition is being called the Supreme and 20 pairs of the shoes will be released at select Supreme stores worldwide. There has been no official word released on what the rest of the year’s releases will bring. In my opinion, the Supreme edition is going to be hard to beat because it is a replica of what skater’s wore before the official Half Cab release. It is a Caballero high top that has been modified and signed by none other than Cab himself. You don’t get much better than that.

“Revenge of the Nerds” (1984): OK, so it seems very dated, especially when the Tri-Lams give their synth-heavy concert in the great brotherhood of competition at the end. But it is clumsy, hot, sweet and ultimately ridiculous – and much better than having sex many arose in the early 80s. Anthony Edwards and Robert Carradine lead nerd home underdog against the jocks of Alpha Beta idiot, led by Ted McGinley. (A much thinner John Goodman is hilarious as football coach at the school.) A timeless David against Goliath battle, a story inspired by the tolerance and inclusion, only with big hair and booger jokes. It’s bad enough that there were suites – please, Hollywood, please, do not remake the original. [via wikipedia and other sources]
