Keeping Up With the Accents

Someone please call The Academy.

There is a hierarchy of accents, each varying in difficulty. We have on the first tier, the pretty easy accents: The British, Irish, American Southern. All can be done quite easily after watching any of the Harry Potter films or an episode of Housewives. The next tier is more difficult and requires practice and potentially some Youtube tutorial videos: Australian, New Zealand. Adding in words likes “heaps” and rising inflections at the end of sentences will help aid in this endeavor.

Last is the most difficult accent of all. Yet, if mastered, may get you into any club, help skyrocket your career, or will make you want to eat gluten free, vegan, and hate candy, and may be the most coveted accent of all: the Kourtney Kardashian accent. This accent is so fine-tuned and unique that only a few can do it. And it has become an absolute fascination and part-time hobby to watch anyone use the accent all the while questioning if they have some secret footage of Kourtney K. audio they’re synching to. There’s talent, and then there’s doing a Kourtney K. accent. 

Andrea Lopez is actually so talented she may actually in fact be Kourtney Kardashian in disguise. She is truly queen status on the Kourtney K. accent and at this point could teach a Makeup by Mario masterclass on the Kourtney K. voice. This is a request to E! network to please include her on next season of the ‘Kardashians’. It really is a win-win. If Kourtney doesn’t want to be on the show anymore, no worries Andrea Lop… Kourtney is here. Talking about Poosh, helping Kim do prank calls, the possibilities are endless. Just a small request but with momager Kris J. it’s totally feasible. There’s more than one Kourtney K. in this world and aren’t we glad about it.

9 Movies of the 90s That Will Make You Completely Nostalgic

Only 90s kids will get this. If you’re a 90s kid or born before have you seen these movies?

1. Father of the Bride

Is there anything more wholesome than this movie? No. Is it acceptable that hot dogs are sold in packs of 10 and hot dog buns are sold in packs of 12? Also no. An absolute Steve Martin and Martin Short classic.


2. You’ve Got Mail

Probably the first rom-com I saw and would be totally okay if it were the last. I would build a time machine to get back to the time of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan duo movies. This movie will teach you how to spell fox if you already do not know how, make you crave spring in New York, forever change The Cranberries, and will completely melt your heart. 


3. Newsies

Batman who? 90s kids know Christian Bale as Jack Kelly. This choreographed male singing/dance movie was something I watched over and over in my diaper and something I would watch over and over now.


4. The Princess Bride

This movie contains some of the most iconic lines of cinematic history. Disagree with me? Inconceivable! But, as you wish.



5. Jurassic Park

Every kid who loved dinosaurs dream. One of the most epic series of the 90s and arguably some of the best music and graphics. Also made me question as a child if this was a probable idea and actually still do not know the answer. Siri? 


6. Home Alone

Is it Christmas without Home Alone? Kevin McCallister was considered an adopted child of my family. Never felt so cool when we had the same Talkboy as him that came with the VHS. Really we were all making podcasts when we could talk..



7. The Lion King

Have you lived until you’ve played the soundtrack and “King of Pride Rock (Score)” blasting in your car? Trust me. Disney classic movies were abundant in the 90s and for that we are grateful. 



8. The Parent Trap

While all these kids are out here learning Tiktok dances I’m still learning and rocking Hallie and Annie’s secret handshake. This movie has effected me in more ways than one. Any time I hear the word crystal or the word fright I think of this movie. When it came out it made me want to get my ears pierced, and the product placement truly worked as I wanted to try Evian. If “Here Comes the Sun” comes on what do I think of? This movie. Ask me what snack I want tonight: it’s Oreos and peanut butter. You know you were a child of the 90s if you wondered if you had a long-lost twin. Any movie with Dennis Quaid and I’m in. This remake with a baby Lindsay Lohan is truly one of the greats.

9. Hook

This movie is every Robin Williams/Julia Roberts/Dustin Hoffman fan’s dream. I also cannot get through this movie without craving a hot dog. The baseball scene gets me every. time.

Hollaback Girl: Gwen Stefani vs. Stephen Colbert

Watch as Stephen Colbert struggles to spell bananas. Don’t know where he was in the 2000’s, but will someone please send him Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl”…

Thankfully Gwen Stefani released in 2004 the hit “Hollaback Girl” and I finally learned how many “n’s” are in bananas. I hear this song every time I write bananas, and my grades, shopping lists, and mind has been so ever grateful.
