      No gloss for Kyla.

      (She’s the only one who didn’t get that prompt)

      I miss when I had a simple crush on Alexa Vega. So sad she grew up to be a crunchy mom

      If you’re going to nostalgia bait, at least have the decency to post something that hasn’t been posted ten billion times before

      Alexis is so far from a Kimberly. That’d the last name I would pick if asked for her real name.

    6. The sexualization of these teenage children felt icky to me then. It still does.

      I know people are creeped out by these photos, but I’m judging on a scale that goes to 17 year old Britney holding a Teletubby and wearing just a bra on the cover of Rolling Stone.

      Its crazy how I can’t remember what I had for breakfast some days, but vividly remember magazine spreads from this era.

      Alexis and Amanda being older millennials seems so shocking to me but logically makes sense at the same time 😭😭

      Amanda Bynes working since age 10 and just wanting to enjoy the summer is a short story that says a *lot*

      I’m always glad that Alexis Bledel made it through relatively unscathed, it makes me happy to see her these days.

    11. I remember this photo shoot/spread like it was yesterday. I held onto this issue for a long time, in fact.

      God I’m so old.

    12. i was not even born yet,but this aesthetic is honestly such a vibe,everything about 2003 fashion is coming back in style and i love it💖

      Oh my gosh I remember this edition!!! I begged my parents to take me to Barnes & Noble to find it. Gosh it was so so so iconic

      Why do they have Alexa’s skirt like that when she is 15??? And Amanda’s underwear band showing when she’s 17! I wouldn’t have batted an eye as a child looking at this. As a mom now I’m like what??? The only one who is legally an adult is the most modest!

      Modesty doesn’t matter for adults but weird for these actual children!!!

      Omg they have to mention Juicy Couture. That hits. My friends at that time were really into it.

    16. OMG I remember crying to my mom to please, please, please buy me this magazine. I’m sure I have it somewhere. Was so obsessed with these girls back then.

      Omfg I REMEMBER THIS ONE! I had it and I was obsessed with it. I must’ve looked through it 100 times. I was 13 and clearly the target audience ❤️
