The year is 2006. You're taking the latest Tiger beat quiz to see if you're more of a Gabriella or a Sharpay while vigorously applying your favorite Cherry Coke Lipsmacker. Little do you know that in twelve short years, some of your favorite Limited Too outfits would have their own feature in Vogue. But your super low-rise jeans? You can leave them in the dumpster. Lizzie McGuire may have gotten a few things right, but she was no fashion goddess. So as a quick guide: the first five items on this list? Break them out, strut your stuff, because they are BACK! But the next five? Leave them in your closet. Forever. Please.

1. Chokers

I can't breathe, I can't breathe. Literally.

2. Platform shoes

Stilts, but make it fashion.

3. Halter tops

If Britney wears it, then we all have to.

4. Colored lenses

You can't see the haters if your only view is pink! I'll see myself out now.

5. Tube tops

Let's remove all straps, it's not like they had a purpose or anything.

6. Frosted lipgloss

No I don't have hypothermia, why do you ask?

7. Zebra highlights

I'm so sorry Kelly, I'm so so sorry.

8. Trucker hats

It's not, Paris, it's really not.

9. Asymmetrical skirts

What are you talking about? I want all of my clothes to look like they got caught in a shredder!

10. Bedazzled jeans

What genius thought it would be comfortable to sit on plastic gems all day?

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
