Stunning photography with bits of prose and poetry sprinkled throughout -- some Ginsberg, Bukowski, and the artist's own. As much an exploration of youth, beauty, rebellion, and sexuality as it is a time capsule of the 90's, this one's got a lot to it. Highlights for me were a striking semi-candid portrait of Alicia Silverstone, the wrestling section, and Skeet Ulrich's armpit hair. I'd like to find a copy of this to have at home.

the 90s are encapsulated in the first 50 or so pages. photo perfection.

Holy crap. This was amazing. The writing is spectacular and represents a diverse set of sources. The photographs capture childhood and adolescence perfectly.
