Wahoo, it’s finally happened! Somewhere out in Tumblr land, some clever minx has dedicated an entire blog to key scenes and fashion fixes from our all time favourite West Beverly High gang -
90210.
Fuckyeahwestbeverlyhigh.tumblr.com is the best thing to hit my bookmark page since

It’s ironic that Donna, aka Tori Spelling aka Nepotism princess scores most of the fashion highlights with her incredibly outlandish get ups and amazing over the top looks. From Dolly Parton cowgirl, to Girlfriend (remember that Aussie girl band…ah sigh!) floppy hats – with requisite oversized sunflower smack bang centre to the awe-inspiring Wayne’s World knock off. Coming in for close consideration has to be Cindy, the ever-understanding mother of Brandon and Brenda, with her jazzy shoulder pad powered blouses and parachute neon tracksuits.
Why anyone would do a scene with Ian (remember it’s pronounced eye-on) Ziering in dick shorts and tight tank is beyond me, but one look at David’s immaculately coiffed hair 'do and earing steez, we start to see the picture a little more clearly. Do you think that
90210 money could dissolve the pain of having these images imprinted into people’s minds for the rest of their lives? That criss cross strapped back electric blue halter dress that Kelly rocks must keep her up at night!
It might be totes hilair to you young ‘uns who love to love this shit because it’s ‘ironic’ but let it be known, peeps of my age did dress like this and we do have these same photos in our albums at home stacked in Mum’s linen closet. Luckily we weren’t paraded in front of millions of viewers week-in-week-out for ten seasons. If only we had that Spelling scrilla to show for it! Make sure you keep checking or ‘follow’ fuckyeahwestbeverlyhigh.tumblr.com to reminisce on when big hair, bigger shoulder pads, and even bigger bad fashion moments ruled the tube!
