Towards the end of summer vacation in 1995, a movie based on one of the most popular book series to ever hit the Scholastic Book Fair was released, and while it didn’t rake in the big bucks like 'Jumanji' and 'Casper' that year, it landed in the heart of every kid who’d ever picked up...

Backstreet Boys at The Sphere: The Perfect Fans
There are plenty of fandoms I’ve been a part of longer than Backstreet Boys like Alvin and the Chipmunks and Disney movies from the ‘90s, but it’s that boy band that really helped define who I am as a fangirl; attention detailed, obsessive, and way too into pop songs about both love and heartbreak. They... Continue Reading →
Harper’s Bazaar’s Hottest Men of All Time: My Favorite Rebel
Did anyone else notice that in the early 2000s, James Dean was pushed more than usual? Perhaps it was just me, but back in the day when I was a teen, my world revolved around the one and only, the iconic ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ actor. Perhaps it was because I loved the fashion and...

BuzzFeed’s ‘80s Heartthrobs: Indycent Proposal
If the magic and thrill of time travel were presented to me and there was only enough power for me to go back and forth one time each, I’m sorry but the trip would be used on one thing and one thing only, Harrison Ford. Yes, I know I could potentially save us from the... Continue Reading →

Music Crushing on A Day to Remember
Millennials. We tend to hold onto the past like Elmyra does animals; too tight. I’m probably the biggest culprit of this. With that, I decided to try and do what I could to slowly wean people off the past, by talking about it a little while also introducing audiences to something new. In this case,... Continue Reading →
Tiger Beat: Crush Foundations and Important Instances
It’s been a minute since ‘Tiger Beat’ was the topic of discussion, four years since Jaida Aneese came through to talk about her Teeny Bopper Crush on none other than a Gen Z favorite, Justin Bieber. Of course, I’ve likely mentioned the publication here and there before and after that, but this week it’s all... Continue Reading →
Girl Meets a Fictional Couple Crush
Jim and Pam. Ross and Rachel. Lucy and Ricky. These are just a few of the best fictional couples that would likely wind up in a ‘Pop Culture Jeopardy’ category about said topic. Everyone seems to have at least one that they feel as connected to as they do their own partner, for whatever reason,... Continue Reading →
Oscars 2025: Crushing the Speeches
After realizing that none of the movies I loved this year would get any love, I knew my heart wasn’t all the way in when we finally arrived at the Oscars 2025. Inside Out 2 and The Wild Robot would both (and did) lose to a movie about a cat, and Wicked’s praise was likely... Continue Reading →
