Remember back in ...
- 1991, when Demi Moore was featured "very pregnant and very nude" on the cover of Vanity Fair, causing many to stir?
 - 1992, when Veronica Webb became the first African-American to have a cosmetics contract (with Revlon)?
 - 1999, when Felicity star Keri Russell cut off her long curls and the show dropped 20 spots in the Nielsen ratings? (Really, America?)
 - 2000, when David Sedaris popularized the term "tanorexic" with the publication of his book Me Talk Pretty One Day?
 - 2003, when model Gisele Bundschen turned down a multimillion-dollar offer to become the face of cloning service Clonaid?
 - 2005, when Dove's Real Beauty campaign featured women who weren't professional models (and caused sales to jump)?
 - 2006, when Kevyn Aucoin's Making Faces (still one of my favorite makeup reference books!!) shared the New York Times best-seller list with Angela's Ashes?
 - (also in) 2006, when black nails became such a "hot trend" that Chanel's Black Satin polish, normally $18, could be found on eBay for $50? (?!!?)
 - 2007, when a photo of Jennifer Love Hewitt in a swimsuit hit the internet, and some folks felt the need to comment negatively, causing her to respond "To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini--puit it on and stay strong." (yes, hello!)
 - 2008, when Helen Mirren was photographed in a bikini, just before her 63rd birthday looking hawt?
