Early Years 1990

About 20 years ago back in London where there were no Internets. My passion back then was a singer/actress called Kylie Minogue ( http://www.kylie.com/home )
My choice of apparel back then was jeans - the jacket was made up of ripped jeans too. Also wore studded belts with huge eagle buckles. You cant really notice them but I used to also wear chains around the waist too ^^;
The holes in the photos are there because we kept our pics in our PDA's (Filofax) back then ^^; At this moment in time I hadn't found what I wanted to do in life yet. Then I discovered Japanese culture and knew that I wanted to live and work in Japan. Back then without a job or information like the Internets, it felt much like saying "I want to travel to the Pluto."
Photo from comrade Martin who found me through FaceBook. Owe a lot to Facebook for helping me get in touch with so many people who I lost contact with over the years.

More pics of me and Kylie (and her younger sister Danni) in the Kylie Minogue photo article.

Someone should cosplay young Danny. hahahah. that would be so epic. XD I wonder what your life would be now had you stayed and followed Kylie and not Japan. lol

Ah the 90s, the most awkward decade of my life... seeing as how I essentially grew up in that decade. The early nineties was kinda blah. After 1994, things got better.

Back then it was not chasing celebrities on the internet, it was hard work on foot.
You must've lived in quite the area to get close to starts Danny.

Looking into the past is cool. Danny looks so... himself, but just younger with big glasses. His smile never changes in all the pictures I've seen of him. The only thing I did in 1990 is become another human in this world, aka being born.
Student
These glasses aptly describe to me the meaning of life.
Those glasses... that jean jacket... it's totally rad.
I really hope no one tries to bring back early 90's fashion.

Why do I hear the "Yamada-san geeking out" theme from the Densha Otoko TV series when I look at those photos?

I was a baby too, but 90's is the best decade over !!!

Ah the singing Budgie. Seems to be the only way Australians produce pop stars is to put them on Neighbours. :)

Danny has changed a lot over the years, especially in the fashion area.

I just moved to Vancouver in 1990. What's Ms. Minogue up to now? The first time I've heard of Kylie was because of the Street Fighter movie where she played Cammy ^^;

The days when I was five years old, man I remember too much. Still 1990 is still in my head!
Danny, the days before the Internet was strange if I really think about it. I can see how a lot of people could only get info from like family through mail, or if urgent phone.

I wonder if in 20 years I'll look back on how I dress today and be as scared as I am looking at you 20 years ago...
Today I learned: People had no sense of style when I was born.

I'm sure my dad was saying that about the time he was born, years ago. I sure as hell was saying that about the 70's...ohSNAP I gave away my age...

Yeah but the 70's was the 70's. There were loads of great things in the 70's...
There were Civil Rights to some, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Abba, Starwars, Video Games, The Twin Towers, LAva Lamps, The "Moon Landing" (The more I see the photo the more sure I am it's staged), Disco, Vietnam, A Recession, An Oil Shortage.... Nixon...
Yeah I you're right, the 70's sucked ass..

I'm left with no words to define the 90's feeling that assailed me.
It's still so close to me... that was an exit style from the end of the 80's, that transition couture that made each one of us look like complete fools but quite proud!
20 years back in a moment, thanks Danny!

is incredible to see how the lives of people change ....
is even more remarkable to see how by not knowing what to want from their lives can come to a fantastic career and a job you love!
anyway nice clothes! talking about twenty years ago and London ... were very concerning! ;)

Ahh the 90's. I grew up in that decade and I miss it a lot. I watched basically all the anime that formed my otaku foundation in that decade. I still remember watching Endless Waltz and End of Evangelion on VHS.
Recently I've been listening to 90's music out of nostalgia: REM, RATM, Nirvana, Oasis, The Cranberries, Paula Cole, Alison Krauss, Garbage, Goo goo dolls, Radiohead, Lighthouse family, Savage Garden, Sixpence none the richer, Soundgarden, Alanis Morissette, Sting and so on. I even grew to like Bryan Adams, Bruce Springsteen, The Spice Girls (YES, you read it right, THE SPICE GIRLS), Boyzone (Again, B O Y Z O N E..>:-D), and some others. In fact, as I'm typing this I'm listening to Blackhole Sun by Soundgarden.

At first sight I thought I was looking at a Red Indian Japanese with small eyes & a rack of white teeth showing brilliantly then I saw Danny in his 20's. You do look different back in the days.
ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE INTENDED: But this just came to my mind, had Danny gone into Akiba in some of those clothes now, he would have blended it perfectly with most of the otakus on the "geeky" side. lol
(If it makes you feel any better, I used to dress worse than that back when I was a young brat. XD )
Of course, we like Danny better the way he is now, on the "otacool" side. ^^;

It's good to know someone around my age has the same nutty interests. I didn't do the denim look, but I did rock the metal chain on the hip (attached to my keys) and a flat top fade. I'm gonna burn all my '90's pics.
