Supervixen.

I was in middle school when the first Garbage (best band name ever?) album was released, and I used to play it at full volume in my bedroom, singing along with Shirley Manson, having lots of feelings. I also loved their second album and have so many memories of listening to it in my backyard in the sunshine. Last night, Zero and I watched a bunch of live videos of the band from the mid-late 90s, and they are all the best. I am in love with Shirley's voice and stage presence, and I adore her style. I haven't loved every style choice that she's made over the years, but the 90s were spot on, starting with her collection of a-line short skirts and plain shirts with boots and ending with her transformation into some cyber alien queen. Before we get into her otherworldly performances, let's watch this short interview on Jools Holland and remind ourselves that she is also an awkward, genuine, precious human being.

♥...those Vulcan eyebrows...♥


Here's a performance from that same show. I love seeing her in those baggy pants.


I don't know if those are sneakers or some weird heeled shoe, and I don't really care (but I kinda hope they're sneakers), because they're perfect, and so is her shiny shirt.


Her signature mid-90s look, only in all white.


That high-collared zip-up track jacket with that hair and jewelry is everything. Cyber alien queen perfection.


Her watch. Her sneakers. This performance is amazing.


Classic early Shirley. Bow down to her.

90210 on acid.

Well, I think it's clear that we are the best bloggers of all time, since we haven't updated since December. But don't you worry, because I am about to make up for all these weeks without Gets with a huge post of screen caps from Nowhere! Nowhere is a film by Gregg Araki from 1997, actually advertised as "90210 on acid" and the third installment in the Teenage Apocalypse Series. Yep. Zero and I both saw the movie when we were in high school, and I decided I wanted to watch it again, since I couldn't really remember anything other than a lot of amazing outfits. Once I saw it again, I knew I it was internet gold. My brain screamed "tumblr!" about a million times. I ended up grabbing 54 stills from the movie, and I'll probably make more at some point. Here are some of my favorites, but you can view the rest on the tumblr I made for them. Speaking of, if you want more regular updates of our style/aesthetic/joke gets, follow us on the Gets Galore tumblr. I've been doing some really excellent reblogging there. A highly valued skill in our culture. I'm gonna be rich! But honestly, I gotta say I'm pretty proud of the collection we've got going on there. And now, a little taste of the Nowhere collection:
















In case it's not clear from the stills, Christina Applegate's performance a tour de force. And in a movie with so many excellent fashion choices, that cat shirt is the ultimate winner.

Holydaze.

Hey y'all! I hope everyone's had a lovely holiday season. I'm getting amped for the New Year, and I thought it would be fun to share some random music videos with you in the meantime.


Oh little Billy. I love your fine short curls and baby face. James Iha is actually destroying my soul, though, with his beauty. While I like Billy's floral shirt, I gotta say that the sparkly shirt, oversized cardigan, and ripped jeans of James are making me swoon.


Finally my need for live Tracy Bonham performances from the 90s has been filled. Look at her jumpsuit!! I used to have a burgundy wig exactly like her pink one when I was about 20, and I wore it a LOT. I miss that thing. Also, all the boys in her band are SO CUTE. It's making me nervous.


Sonic is a sass queen, and I love him. This is his sassiest level, too, in my opinion.


Just a reminder that sometimes you have to thrash. Or if you're that one girl in the audience holding a soda, you have to just close your eyes and gently sway in the face of thrashing. It's important to keep perspective. Perhaps this is a just light thrashing. Lessons all around here.


That bear rug aside, this video is soft-focus, pastel perfection.


Words can not describe how I love these boys. One with a pink shirt buttoned all the way to the top and a rat tail. The other with a mouth meant to devour the universe.

What better way to wrap up 2012 than with a bunch of music videos from other years? I did it. You're welcome. See ya on the other side!
