Mother’s Day Style Stealer: Roseanne’s Relaxed ’90s Look

Julie GersteinMay 3, 2011 //

It’d be a little bit of a stretch to call Roseanne Barr, the star of the revolutionary ’90s sitcom “Roseanne,” a style icon. But we do love the laidback look of the whole Connor family, and hey, obviously the ’90s are back in a big way. So in honor of Roseanne as the queen of snarky moms, and Mother’s Day in general, we’ve cobbled together this Style Stealer look. Check it out after the jump! Keep reading »

Unlikely Style Inspiration: “Roseanne”

Winona Dimeo-EdigerMarch 31, 2011 //

I went to the University of Hawaii for a semester during my junior year of college. I had a room with an inexplicably king-sized bed and a panoramic view of the ocean. There was a farmer’s market down the street that sold fresh pineapples and papayas. I ate shaved ice for breakfast and sweet bread for dinner and it was generally just as awesome as it sounds. But you know what some of my best Hawaiian memories consist of? Lying in that king-sized bed and watching syndicated episodes of “Roseanne.” Sad but true: I love this show more than I love panoramic views of the Pacific.

I understand if you don’t share my love for the Connor clan, but can we all at least admit that these characters were unsung style heroes of the ’90s? I mean, they looked just like us — sometimes a little worse — and they totally owned it. Click through for a thoroughly modern take on the “Roseanne” look… Keep reading »

“Roseanne” Gets Spoofed In Porn Movie, “Roseanne XXX”

Susannah BreslinMay 28, 2010 //

Say hello to “Rosanne” the porn movie. You know, a lot of these porn movie spoofs I don’t mind, but this one looks really unpleasant. It’s an X-rated redux of the “Roseanne” show, which used to star Roseanne Barr. But instead of the Conners sitting around and trying to figure out how to be a better family, or whatever it was they were doing, and having a few laughs along the way, this time around everyone just cracks a bunchy of pervy jokes and tries to get it on with each other. Kelly Shibari plays Roseanne. It looks like Becky may be mildly amusing, but the rest just looks plain horrifying. Keep reading »

Hot Blog Alert: Third And Delaware Chronicles The Best Of “Roseanne” Fashion

Amelia McDonell-ParryDecember 14, 2009 //

Who woulda thunk “Roseanne,” that off-beat sitcom about a working class family fronted by the crass Roseanne and eternally plumber-cracked John Goodman, could provide such awesome fashion fodder? A rad new blog called Third And Delaware (the cross streets for the Conner family home) chronicles all the awesomely ’80s and ’90s sartorial moments from one of my favorite TV shows ever. Dan’s plaid! DJ’s colorful hoodies! Becky’s scrunchies and undercut bob! Roseanne’s OK Corral shirt and funky hair accessories! Nancy’s slut gear! Crystal’s suburban mom chic! And, of course, Darlene oh-so-on-trend grunge stylings. Screen shots are accompanied by hilarious commentary, like:

Just a hot second ago Becky was sporting the messy boy hair, and now all of a sudden she’s got an unbelievably amazing UNDERCUT? … It seems Becky spent her summer holiday growing out her choppy locks only to shave half of them off again. With this hairstyle she gets the look of a bowl cut without the hassle of having to brush all of that hair! Her neck is free to breathe, and she can pop her collar without fear of disturbing her incredible coif.

Let’s hope this site doesn’t spawn an undercut comeback. [Third And Delaware] Keep reading »

Did Roseanne Get Her Vag Remodeled?

Amelia McDonell-ParryApril 10, 2008 //

Oh Roseanne! You so crazy! The “comedian” stopped by Craig Ferguson’s show last night and told him all about having vaginal rejuvenation surgery. We like to believe this is about as true as her singing the National Anthem was musically supreme. Keep reading »
