February 1990 Fashion Etc.: Embroidery, Cologne & DIY Beauty Basics

After blowing past cover girl Gina Marie DeGiovanni, we delve into the Fashion (Etc.) of the February 1990 issue. Give your preppy basics some edge! Canoodle with your boyfriend while you're both swathed in embroidery! Dump a bottle of cranberry juice on your head and see what happens! Also: Christina tries a bunch of beauty treatments; you get the best red lipstick recommendations at all price points; the New Kids are popping off in a full-page ad for their (very pricey) hotline. All this and more in our latest episode!
