Never before have we seen such a weird combo of rad, vintage imagery with totally WTF cover lines. Be thankful you had Teen Vogue .

What we wouldn't give to be able to read them all cover-to-cover. Since we can't, we can at least guess at what was inside.

The obvious answer here would be Spanx. But since those weren't around back then, our next best guesses: fun house mirrors, sucking in your gut, chopping off your entire behind.

From Nabokov to Varlamov to Bryzgalov, and everywhere in between.

Goalie masks are one of the coolest aspects of hockey — they allow the guys clad in big, goofy-looking pads and obscured by an enormous helmet to express a bit of their personality in just about any way they can dream up. Still, some masks are better than others.

Somehow, the wheelbarrow and thimble survive.

The new Monopoly token is ... a cat!

Via: lifeinc.today.com

On Wednesday, Hasbro announced that after a vicious Hunger Games-like Facebook campaign, the unpopular Monopoly Iron will be replaced with the cooler Monopoly Cat (much to the Monopoly Scottie's dismay).

Launched in January, Save Your Token asked Facebook fans to vote for which gamepiece they liked the most. The loser would be swapped for a cat, diamond ring, guitar, helicopter or toy robot.

RIP, iron.

The household tool joins a historic group of Monopoly rejects, along with a lantern, purse, rocking horse and horse and rider.

The standouts among the 156 people who gathered for the 85th Academy Awards nominee luncheon on Monday.

Nominees for the 85th Academy Awards® pose for a group photo at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Oscar® Nominees Luncheon in Beverly Hills, California, on Monday, Feb. 4. Who are these people — the ones who aren't stars? And what is everyone up to in Hollywood's most prestigious group shot? We take a close look below.

1. There's always someone in every picture who gets caught with his eyes closed. The unfortunate man in this one is Lincoln screenwriter and playwriting god Tony Kushner. We are choosing to believe his eyes are clenched in a sudden spasm of creative inspiration.

2. Editor William Goldenberg is the rare Oscar nominee to appear twice in the same category in the same year: for Argo and Zero Dark Thirty (with Dylan Tichenor, not pictured here).

Pogs are so dumb.

Source: thingsofmyinterest.com

At some point in the '90s, for reasons which escape you both then and now, you began collecting these things called "Pogs." You'd carry around your lot of decorated cardboard discs in neon plastic tubes, and proudly show off your refined taste for flames and ying-yangs come recess.

The thing is...did anyone ever really know how to play Pogs? You'd stack them up, maybe knock them over, and try to take all of your friends' items. But in the end, since no one ever wanted to trade or lose their precious Pogs — especially not that cool skull and roses one —you just packed them back up, with no clear winner.

It probably looked a lot like this...

So what are Pogs? The name comes from a brand of juice called POG (stands for passion fruit, orange, guava), which came packaged with lids that made good pieces for playing the game we'd eventually just call "Pogs." There have been earlier forms of Pog-like games played for ages — usually with milk bottle caps — but Pog is the term that stuck in the '90s.

Hear me out: Though TV shows are rarely improved upon by their movie versions (AHEM Sex and the City ), Lizzie got better on the big screen. Here are all the reasons why.

The movie takes place in Rome.

The climax of the film is at a concert in the Colosseum, which is so much more interesting than suburban America.

In "The Lizzie McGuire Movie", there's no Miranda.

Sorry girl: Your character sucked and spent the whole show third-wheeling all over Lizzie and Gordo. Everyone was happy you missed the trip to Rome because you had to go to Mexico with your family.

“Ha, yes, that's funny, no, I'm not going to punch you.”

Singer Chris Brown, whose nickname down at the saloon is "Ol' Violencey," is in the news again, this time because Los Angeles prosecutors allege that community service records related to his assault conviction were at best kept sloppily and at worst comically falsified.

There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000 United States residents named Chris Brown, and the ones who aren't the one who's always getting arrested have likely endured a roller coaster of name-related emotion over their lifetime.

Here are the Three Major Life Stages Of Being Chris Brown But Not That Chris Brown, as we imagine them.

Chris Browns are aware they have a somewhat common name, but don't think much about it. Their most famous doppleganger is probably a guy in the Canadian pop-rock scene.

I don't know if Pinterest is ready for this.

MAC did the makeup at Thursday's Costello Tagliapietra show for New York Fashion Week and tells BuzzFeed Shift that the lip look is created by applying red "Lady Danger" lipstick and pressing "Process Magenta Pigment" on top.

Isn't this a fresh and gorgeous way to do a red lip?
