Quarantine Time Machine 2.0

Hey Dolls,

So the year is 2005 and all we can remember is American Idol and Desperate Housewives on endless loop while listening to 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' album. Rihanna graced our television screens with her presence for the first time and we were waist deep in Laguna Beach drama (darn Spencer). But we're sure there is more to remember, so let's take a strut down memory lane.

2005 was a year of great music and wild television. Reality TV continued to grow. Fashion pretty much stayed the same. So there were still drop waists and velour track suits as far as the eye could see. The ONLY thing I'd like to bring back from the year 2005 is Laguna Beach. The rest can stay. What would you Dolls like to see reappear? What's here and shouldn't be? (Bow Wow's music career). Join the conversation below or on Instagram @porscheporshia.
