September 1988 Pop Culture: Kevin Dillon, Amanda Peterson & Celebrity Style Fails

Jul 20, 2021, 09:00 AM

This is the POP CULTURE episode, not Fashion Etc., but given all the talk of hair, we'd get it if you got confused. As extensions! On arms! Stats about who's dyeing what shade! It's a lot. Watch It has some harsh words for the Pet Shop Boys' full-length film. Listen Up features, among others, a band from Australia's nearest neighbor -- hey, Crowded House! And the features tell us all about Kevin Dillon, Amanda Peterson, and a bunch of bad candids we're supposed to think represent female stars' personal style when, let's be real, they almost certainly didn't. Pause Forever Your Girl -- but not forever; its "BOMB" review was unjust -- and join us!
