Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't remember thinking that the costumes as such were all that hot, except for the rip-away pants the girls had on -- they were unexpected.

I didn't mean hot like sexy, but I was really impressed with how the evoked the different era with different hats and taking of their jackets or whatever -- it was subtle, but definitely worked, IMO.

Y'know, I remember a song that mentioned the New Jack Swing, but I didn't realize it was actually a type of music...I just though it was that song!! And looking at the wikipedia entry, those are all songs I love. Hee.

Wasn't there a movie? New Jack City? I seem to remember the immortal line, "Sit your five dollar ass down before I make change."

Wasn't there a movie? New Jack City?

yes, there was, and the genre came from the movie. According to Wikipedia

The term "new jack swing" was coined by journalist and New Jack City co-writer Barry Michael Cooper to describe the sound produced by R&B/Hip hop artist and producer Teddy Riley. Riley is an American R&B and hip hop singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. He led the band Guy in the 1980s and Blackstreet in the 1990s. Riley stated that "I define the term [New Jack Swing] as a new kid on the block who's swingin' it," [5].
