You kinda forget how big Eminem was back in the early 00's. It was insane.

Not to be a Karen as I don’t approve of some aspects of 00s misogny etc but he’d probs be cancelled these days :( without being able to create

There’s no way that horrific but brilliant Stan would be allowed with its themes, or him rapping about his ex wife in a derogatory way but that genuinely sounded from the heart

I think he nearly was a few times - there was certainly an uproar and he had to do various press conferences explaining his lyrics.

Does anyone else remember the Thornton’s general election lollipops? I can only find this photo with a chocolatey John Major, which must be 1997, but I distinctly recall seeing a William Hague, which would have been 2001. Why nine-year-old me was able to recognise William Hague when rendered in milk chocolate, I have no idea.

I've just finished 'Freak like me' and ABSOLUTELY loved it! If you loved pop music/ culture of the late 90s early noughties you will LOVE this!
Funny, touching and shocked at the celebs who were nice (Kym Marsh/ Victoria Beckham surprisingly!)
Really fun book!

Nah, rap freely iterates violence against women and no one's getting cancelled.
I don't think he'd get away with the lines of violence against gay men though.

I think most accounts of meeting Victoria say she's friendly and nice -- not shocking to me.

Lawd! look at this.

Earth Walk was the greatest thing ever, I can smell it in my brain now and it plants me squarely back in winter 1999 when my mum first got it for me.

Does anyone remember bath oil balls? you often got them scattered amongst a bath gift pack from
Boots. i remember my friend dared me to bite into one, tasted vile and could taste it for days afterwards! i also remember accidentally stepping on one in the living room one christmas and the oil went all over the wallpaper, like flecks
of grease 🤦🏼‍♀️ looked awful, took
months and months to finally dry out clear.

Haha yes I loved those, I remember my mum was fuming I put so many in a bath once I slipped over whilst getting out because it was so oily and it took her ages to get all the oil out the bath 😂

They still exist in other guises. Some I bought recently were uniform in colour and shape and were marketed more as a beauty product.

Remember they used to box up your purchases with those little scented pebble things? The height of sophistication! I still have some flannel pyjamas I got from their store in the Arndale in Manchester in the 90s.
