(Part 2 of 2) A few weeks ago I sat down to talk about all things 2000s pop culture and entertainment with Nicole Randone, aka miss2005. That is her forte! In today’s blog I will be continuing that interview and we talk about all things 2000s fashion, music and beauty! Make sure to read part 1 before you read this one! You can read that HERE! 

Enjoy! 

Sadie: Who are your 2000s fashion icons?

Nicole: Paris Hilton is number 1 forever. On the fictional side of things I love Lizzie Mgire and Sharpay Evans.

Sadie: Sharpay is a queen! I have always looked up to her style. What 2000s fashion trends do you incorporate in your everyday life?

Nicole: I wear a lot of Juicy tracksuits. I wear my Playboy bunny necklace every single day of my life. I also love Toggle necklaces.

Sadie: What TV show in that time period do you think has the best fashion and style taste?

Nicole: So many I am obsessed with! As much as I would love to say One Tree Hill because it is my favorite show ever, I have to say Lizzie McGuire. Lots of body glitter, lots of out-there  choices! One Tree Hill was a very small town in North Carolina but Lizzie was very “We are in Malibu, baby! Put on the body glitter, let’s go!”

Sadie: I have a Lizzie McGuire DVD that I got when I was younger that has all the fashion episodes. 

Nicole: You get it! You understand! 

Sadie: Whose closet do you wish you had: Summer Roberts from the OC, Brooke Davis from One Tree Hill, Holly Ttyler from What I Like About You, or Marisa Cooper from the OC?

Nicole: My favorite girl out of all of them would have to be Brooke, but…Summer Roberts!!! 

Sadie: 1000% the same choice. Her outfits are great. 

Beauty

Sadie: What would your makeup routine be if you lived in the 2000s? 

Nicole: Heavy Lip gloss, body glitter, icy frosted white eyeshadow, orange fake tan. Paris Hilton. I need to live that dream out!

Sadie: What beauty trends do you wish was never a thing?

Nicole: The dark lip liner around the lips – I’m not a huge fan.

Sadie: It’s the overly plucked thin eyebrows for me, LOL. That is a trend I do not like. I couldn’t do that. 

Music

Sadie: I have been really into bands and pop rock vibes recently. What are your fave bands?

Nicole: Jack’s Mannequin, because I’m a One Tree Hill stan. Fall Out Boy, Weezer, and All American Rejects.

Sadie: Do you wish the genre of music that was popular then was still popular now? 

Nicole: Yes and No. If it was mainstream, people might ruin it a little bit, ‘cause everyone talks down to the songs that play on the radio. I would love a pop punk resurgence, just because I’m not really into whatever is going on. I think 2000s music is superior!

Sadie: Music impacted 2000s television. What show had the best soundtrack? 

Nicole: One Tree Hill, because it had that aspect of the show where they had live music too. I discovered so much music from that show, like Jack’s Mannequin. 

Sadie: I love how the episodes are titled after a song that fits that episode! 

Nicole: I feel like it’s something that television is lacking now. They used music for its storytelling. The lyrics in One Tree Hill corresponded to the scene. Now if you watch a more modern show it’s more of an instrumental, as opposed to a score – more modern and you are losing that storytelling aspect which was so powerful.

There it is! The full, completed interview with social media mogul Nicole Randone – miss2005. I had so much fun and can’t wait to see how her social media and author career take off!  Let us know who your 2000s icons are and a trend you love!
