"...We believe these styles made so popular in the early 90’s are due for a comeback. Given the major enhancements to dyeing technology over the last 2 decades, we believe that Change Me Clothing is the brand to rejuvenate these bold, bright styles and deliver them to a new generation..."

I have no idea what on earth they mean by a "color changing" shirt. That is how utterly out of the loop I apparently am. Their FAQs tell me nothing to illuminate the mystery. I suspect that I am inutterably beyond anything they might consider to be their target market. Some how, this pleases me.

It was a 1990s mistake called Hypercolor. The 1990s are coming back. Hold on tight.

[besskeloid.livejournal.com]

It's unbelievable.

better the 90s ...

[darkuncle.livejournal.com]

than the 70s. Again. It's like the decade that just Will. Not. Die.

seriously people enough with the bell-bottoms and the shaggy hair. It wasn't cool the first time around either (or the second).

*grumble*

Body heat changes the color of the fabric to a white(ish). I was working at Harris' Department Stores when this came out and they tried to make it HUGE. Didn't work. I had one of the gimme shirts they gave to employees to wear & my bra was always outlined.

girls might be into this shit now to complement their showing of the underwear from under the jeans.

JC Penny did show a remake of the Breakfast Club as a commercial...does this mean that I will soon be able to steal back my flannel from my wife's pajama wardrobe?

Wear it with a mood ring!!

How...festive. I can just imagine that you loved that.

Sometimes it's such a soothing blessing to be middle-aged and able to say to the fickle winds of fashion "WTF? Not a chance in hell, babe. Never, never, never."

I was saying that when I was 19!

And I was saying that when I was 11! I got one of those hypercolor shirts for a birthday present and you can bet that one stayed in the bottom dresser drawer.

Ugh, it was neon orange that changed to sky blue.

FUCK YEAH HYPERCOLOR

I had blue hypercolor shorts. Except the crotch was always white.

[miss-geek.livejournal.com]

that's good. they can be worn over the fucking leggings that every 18 yr old up here is wearing with jelly shoes.

[handstil.livejournal.com]

don't forget fluorescent Rayban Wayfarers and fake Chanel chain purses. Ugh, shoot me. WHY.

[miss-geek.livejournal.com]

people are wearing the flourescent sunglasses and i want to stab them in the eyeball every time i see them.

[substitute.livejournal.com]

a guy at my work was wearing the sunglasses, the popped collar, and ironic retro sneakers that were different colors

so I killed him

[miss-geek.livejournal.com]

you can't be blamed. that's totally a mercy killing.

[sooz.livejournal.com]

ive seen your friends wear leggings ;P

[miss-geek.livejournal.com]

but you have not seen ME wear them. ewwww.

[autodidactic.livejournal.com]

I'm still reeling that young men want to look like 1982 bearded gym instructors on purpose. Seeing the 90's again so quick might actually be sort of soothing.

[maps-or-guitars.livejournal.com]

Oh don't get me started. Only my pusillanimous heart has kept me from beating the living izod out of the waves of popped-collar-polo-shirt wearing shiteaters that confront me daily. I just want to scream IT LOOKED STUPID THEN, TOO! IT DID!

Aigh. They're everywhere.

Re: the linked post

"it is . . . against something that the self can emerge. . . Without something to belong to, we have no stable self, and yet total commitment and attachment to any social unit implies a kind of selflessness. Our sense of being a person can come from being drawn into a wider social unit; our sense of selfhood can arise through the little ways in which we resist the pull. Our status is backed by the solid buildings of the world, while our sense of personal identity often resides in the cracks." -Erving Goffman.

and
I think Hypercolor is a way better name than Change Me Clothing. Do they expect us to believe that since the clothing can transform then it is doing so through sentient measures, and so can also speak? Well that's bull. I can't change You, t-shirt. There is no You!

[leolo.livejournal.com]

Why no love for bearded gym instructors?

[nyxie.livejournal.com]

American Apparel is selling them! Isn't that awesome?

I hate you, Milkman Nyxie.

[amicablebitch.livejournal.com]

oh great. i can't wait to highlight my boobs with huge white dots on my shirt.

[gths.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh.

[pilarcruz.livejournal.com]

I liked how hypercolor totally made boobie shapes over my boobies.

all that needs to be said:

2 Unlimited was a Eurodance act formed in 1991. The project was the brainchild of Belgian producers Jean-Paul DeCoster and Phil Wilde, and was fronted by a Dutch duo, rapper Ray Slijngaard and singer Anita Doth.
