May 1990 was a rollercoaster: Madonna's "Vogue" video blew our minds, the death of Jim Henson broke our hearts, and a new BSC ghostwriter boggled our brains. The Sea City we knew and tolerated -- Burger Garden, mini-golf, and Tunnel of Luv -- is gone; in its place we get a yellow wallpapered liminal space serving hostility, down-low lobster dinners, and night terrors. OK THEN!

Brooke and Kaykay drag the hell out of Mary Anne and Too Many Boys and its attempted normalization of purity culture and segregation. Plus: Odes to the Muppets, coupons, and the Original Recipe Banana Republic.
