Guess who has a new single out after 17 years? My favorite trench coat-wearing, Ray-Ban-rocking, ’80s crooner—Rick Astley. Check out his new single, “Lights Out,” after the jump.

“Like Mom, Like Dad” And Totally Awesome
First, there was “My Parents Were Awesome,” celebrating rad pictures of your parents looking cool when they were younger. Now comes a new nostalgia site celebrating and honoring the cool photos your parents took. “Like Mom, Like Dad” features people lovingly recapturing vintage family photos. Site founder Ze Frank, who seems to run his own web empire, started the project after finding a photo of his mom and dad embracing and recreating it. How sweet! It’s a cute way to connect with your folks, but if you don’t want to ape your parents’ pics, try “Young Me, Now Me,” a site devoted to recreating pics of YOU when you were a wee one.

Tavi Delivers The Goods: Vintage Sassy Porn
Yeah, yeah, yeah—so apparently Tavi‘s blog got shut down for a hot second yesterday after she posted some racy fashion pics. She was back up and running in no time with an apology from Google explaining that she had triggered automatic filters. Nevertheless, the internets freaked out over the scandal. As for us, the better story is what Tavi has up today: photos of old Sassy magazine issues, gifted to her by a generous reader. (Lucky!)
Indulge in some nostalgic Sassy porn by checking out some more highlights on Tavi’s blog; after the jump, our favorite images. [Style Rookie] Keep reading »
Are We Too Nostalgic?
This week, New York Times writer David Browne argued that Generation Y is all about nostalgia—and that we develop sentimental feelings about things at a much more rapid pace than Baby Boomers. I fully admit that even at the young age of 21, I feel nostalgic for my childhood all the time. And haven’t we all? At The Frisky alone, we’ve reminisced recently about Zack Morris, Jem and the Holograms, our favorite kids TV show hosts, and even our favorite childhood dolls. But I’m not running to trade in my iPod for a Walkman or my flat iron for scrunchies. I just enjoy a trip down memory lane. And because I’m young, my memory lane doesn’t go on for miles and miles.

Makeup: What’s With the Kid Stuff?
Most little girls (and even some boys!) have a moment where they play in mom’s makeup, pretending to be a grown-up woman. But is the reverse true as well: do grown women like to play in makeup that looks to be for little girls?
Barbie for Stila, featuring makeup mimicking Barbie’s looks over the past half-century appeared in January. Blue Smurf makeup for Too Faced also came in January and a Hello Kitty collection from M.A.C. — a pink kitty adorns all-black makeup cases — debuts this February.
I love the Smurfs and Barbie as much as the next girl, but what’s up with all the cartoon characters on makeup? And what’s next? Care Bear-inspired pastel nail polish? Strawberry Shortcake red lip gloss? Dare I even suggest orange Garfield eyeshadow? Help me make sense of all this kitsch, after the jump…. Keep reading »
