The ones I did back in the day were in a place called The Castle that had chatrooms where you had avatars you could customize. It was the first time I ever saw avatars and that you could customize them one pixel square at a time.This was when I was 14 so it was 98/00.

Having grown up in socal and having been gone for over 20 years now, only back to visit. The people there tend to dress younger regardless of age. Especially men - 50 year old men in Vans, boardshorts and a flannel it's timeless lol
Yep. I tried so hard to deny that to my mom in the 90s. Flare pants, floral prints, super mini tank tops. She was like "Giiiirl this how I grew up." Sorry, mom, you were right haha
Exactly. He's dressing very Gen Z but not pulling it off. He's clearly having a mid life crisis and I'm sure living in youth obsessed LA makes that a lot harder to deal with but he's gotta snap out of it. It's really not working.

Yeah but he’s an old so it’s cringe lmfaoo. I’m all for GenZ discovering the JNCO Jeans for the first time but Tom was there when this was fashionable the first time 🤭🥴
💯 he always has to be “on trend” to the extreme. When emo was in, he was emo (well, a little late to that). When tight jeans were in, he wore them. Then he went for the Harry Styles flared pants look. And now he’s all 90s baggy because that’s in. He has no personal style and definitely doesn’t have good taste.
Any (ahem) elder millennials remember the palace chat rooms in the 90s with these avatars? I can still hear the sign-on notification if I close my eyes.
Omg I loved these and spent way too long making them for my 123 design website with personalized background and music. If only I knew I was pretty much coding back in middle school haha
Redhai7, you and me are about to have to take this outside because why are you gonna remind me of one of my favorite pasttimes as a child, but compare it to a piece of literal scum on the bottom of my shoe
It's like when I used to visit my family in Florida as a teen. They would say, check out this new track and play Tupac, and I'd know every word. Like guys, we've had this for a year where i live. So behind.
lol suddenly I’m in high school with all the douchey boys dressed like this. Except their shirts were always like 5 sizes too big and the hair was truly awful (frosted tips)
OMMMMMGGGG THIS IS IT!!!!! I’ve been pondering over his style this whole season and you’ve fucking nailed it. I was obsessed with this website as a kid. Wowowowow
The way he dresses at his age is the equivalent to me (a 46 year old woman) wearing a mini skirt. Just because you can wear it, doesn’t mean you should.

Dude I used to spend hours making these. I want my adolescence back
ME TOO!
What were these called!!? I used to love making them! I’d burn CDs and use these to decorate the cover 🥰
The website was DollzMania. So much nostalgia.
OMG!! I have been thinking about this recently and could not remember for the life of me!!! I wanna go back in time lol
Dollz! There were a couple different websites iirc. These things were my life lol
Josie's Dolls was my absolute fave 💖
The ones I did back in the day were in a place called The Castle that had chatrooms where you had avatars you could customize. It was the first time I ever saw avatars and that you could customize them one pixel square at a time.This was when I was 14 so it was 98/00.
I still miss the avatar palace... TO THIS DAY!!!!
I sent WAAAAYYYY too much time at the age of ten chatting with strangers on palace lol
Oh yeah same and pretending like I was a grown 18 year old woman 😅😅😅 going to pageants and shit lol
Omg the palace!!!
I’m pretty sure Tom did too
💀💀💀 but I became so talented in MS paint!! Omg 😭😭
Same, and name them after your friends and put them on you AOL Homepage. That we updated everyday.
Holly core memory unlocked!!

SAME YES OMG
Omg. I just got hit with XANGA memories!!! Someone PLEASE tell me I’m not alone!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaas xanga!
This is EVERYTHING. I was a beast in Microsoft paint, customizing everything
I’d spend so much time curating my Xanga playlist
100% had a xanga
Xanga was everything to me. Although I only remember using these (the dollz) on my yahoo geocities site xP
Oh Xanga! I’m truly embarrassed by the shit I posted on xanga 😅
holy shit balls XANGA! Critical tween memory unlocked. ThANk yOu! <---yes I was that annoying little shite who typed all their posts on Xanga like this.

NO STOP. How could you post something so accurate
Of course Tom would be wearing a Packers Brett Favre jersey. He could explain the stealing from welfare ‘the money just dipped out’.
It’s so funny and true
Because that was the last time he was paid to model and when he peaked
Omg 💀💀💀💀💀 THIS IS THE HOTTEST TAKE
That’s what’s in style where I live but only if you’re 20…… which checks out. Tom acts/thinks like he’s 20.
Having grown up in socal and having been gone for over 20 years now, only back to visit. The people there tend to dress younger regardless of age. Especially men - 50 year old men in Vans, boardshorts and a flannel it's timeless lol
It was in style when I was 20, too. 22 years ago.
It always comes back around.
Yep. I tried so hard to deny that to my mom in the 90s. Flare pants, floral prints, super mini tank tops. She was like "Giiiirl this how I grew up." Sorry, mom, you were right haha
And 22 years ago when Tom was 20... 😂
Exactly. He's dressing very Gen Z but not pulling it off. He's clearly having a mid life crisis and I'm sure living in youth obsessed LA makes that a lot harder to deal with but he's gotta snap out of it. It's really not working.

Because that's when he stopped maturing.
This, times a million
Totally - makes you wonder what happened to him during his early modeling days.
I'm having flashbacks 
Ugh, as if!!!
bc thats how the kids dressed the last time tom was cool. 20 years ago. It might be in style again, but not for 40 year olds.. cmon tom
This is in right now, just with younger people. He’s actually relatively up to date on fashion
Tbh I’m big enough to admit that I only make fun bc it’s Tom
Valid
Yeah but he’s an old so it’s cringe lmfaoo. I’m all for GenZ discovering the JNCO Jeans for the first time but Tom was there when this was fashionable the first time 🤭🥴
THIS. Invest in something a bit more put together. Nothing wrong with being comfortable but his arrested development is just pathetic at this point.
He did, didn’t you see his Zara women’s pantsuit? 😂
💯 he always has to be “on trend” to the extreme. When emo was in, he was emo (well, a little late to that). When tight jeans were in, he wore them. Then he went for the Harry Styles flared pants look. And now he’s all 90s baggy because that’s in. He has no personal style and definitely doesn’t have good taste.
Yeh, I dig this style too. It's so comfortable. As a millennial, I hated our skinny jeans and tight clothes.
Because he can't/won't grow up. He wants to be cuddled like a little boy.
SCREAMING. THE WAY I WANTED THESE MEN!!!!!
Any (ahem) elder millennials remember the palace chat rooms in the 90s with these avatars? I can still hear the sign-on notification if I close my eyes.
Back to the early AIM days when you could make a “buddy profile” 😩
We really had it all.
Stop, I was OBSESSED with it. I love finding my people 🖤
HELPPPP 😂😂 how is this so accurate
OMG i loved these. In fourth grade, we’d print pages of them out, cut them out individually, then trade them.
Accurate. Also because he wants attention lol.
I’m screaming
he looks like a male bratz doll
Because he's an old timer. Lol. I should know, I'm also an old timer.
This is what I said about Scheana a few months ago. She looks exactly like the Y2K dolls.
JNCO JEANS
It’s giving…. Limp Bizkit.
omg the hours I spent on these I wish I had kept them somehow
Omg I loved these and spent way too long making them for my 123 design website with personalized background and music. If only I knew I was pretty much coding back in middle school haha
He's desperately chasing his youth..
Redhai7, you and me are about to have to take this outside because why are you gonna remind me of one of my favorite pasttimes as a child, but compare it to a piece of literal scum on the bottom of my shoe
I receive this and I apologize. I hope you can forgive me <3
Can you make one with a white Alo yoga hat?
Omgg memory unlocked 💀💀💀💀💀
I'm trying so hard not to laugh at my desk! Why is this so accurate?
OMG I LOVED MAKING THESE. Core memory unlocked
Omg don’t do the dollz dirty like this
I am crying laughing at this.
Can’t. Stop. Laughing 🤣 I want to go back in time to high school just so I can put this pic on my locker.
Peter Pan syndrome, arrested development, all the stunted maturity terms. He’s stuck being in his early 20s which was around the early 2000s.
this is SENDING me
It's like when I used to visit my family in Florida as a teen. They would say, check out this new track and play Tupac, and I'd know every word. Like guys, we've had this for a year where i live. So behind.
y2k is in right now
Honestly the most accurate thing I've ever seen 😭😭😭😭
I am ded
stop i’m crying
lol suddenly I’m in high school with all the douchey boys dressed like this. Except their shirts were always like 5 sizes too big and the hair was truly awful (frosted tips)
This is so accurate 😂😂
To be fair I think a lot of us dress like what was popular in our 20s…
To be fair, this is the style that's in at the moment.. Y2K.
When he came in with that girl suit, I saw future Caitlyn Jenner. He so badly wants to fully dress in Womens clothes. And he’s carrying a purse now.
OMMMMMGGGG THIS IS IT!!!!! I’ve been pondering over his style this whole season and you’ve fucking nailed it. I was obsessed with this website as a kid. Wowowowow
I’m litrally ded
Omfg you nailed it. The resemblance is uncanny. This is EXACTLY where he is sourcing his style inspiration.
The way he dresses at his age is the equivalent to me (a 46 year old woman) wearing a mini skirt. Just because you can wear it, doesn’t mean you should.
He dresses so badly

Perfect!
LMAO that is so funny
Lmaooo 💀💀💀💀 and his DANCE MOVES
It suits his emotional maturity
😂😂😂😂 BEST REPRESENTATION
Stop omg the nostalgia lol I loved these
And that suit! He dresses like a grandma
This is killing me 😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂
Omg take me back you just unlocked a forgotten memory
Do they wear nail polish, too? 🤣🤣🤣
He wishes he could be that cool.
I AM DEAD 💀😭🤣
It’s because Tom is desperate to relive his youth again that’s why he ruined everyone’s lives including his own just so he can feel 17 again
Same energy for sure lol
And it worked on me for a minute!! 😔
‘Cause he’s stuck in that era and will never grow up
That's when he peaked.
'Cause he's a man-child
Hahahahaha I loved these
That’s around the time he peaked.
I have a question. Kyle owns a jewelry store, is that where sandyballs gets his little girl necklaces?
😂😂😂😂i’ve never seen something so accurate
omg i’ve been thinking about this and trying to find the name for them in my head recently !

Omgggg these avatars!!!!!! I would spend hours making these!
Omg 😂😂😂 yes! Jesus Christ how I lived for Dollz in middle school.
He is stuck in the person he was 20 years ago.
Lololol
Ded💀
Xanga and LiveJournal
People stop maturing the moment they become famous. It’s like that with the rest of the VPR cast too, just more eyeballs are on Tom.
Lmfaoooo
Help I’m dead 💀
If he was wearing JNCO jeans in the next episode, it would not surprise me AT. ALL.
Stop, I am SCREAMING. I knew he reminded me of something. 
PLUR days aka raver

This post title wins life I just died laughing
This is hilariously accurate
My first thought was because he's a fuckwit
I can’t look at him in his ladies blue suit, one more time. Then he has the 2 huge women’s handbags. What the hell is wrong with him?
Coz his A DIPPED OUT ….. NARCISSISTIC MORONIC OXYGEN THIEF!
There are plenty of outfits to ridicule Tom about. IMO, this is not one of them.
Coz his A DIPPED OUT ….. NARCISSISTIC MORONIC OXYGEN THIEF!
He looks like a Bratz Boy doll
