BONUS: The Year That Fashion Went Nude
Side vag, full vag, bum-baring. The red carpet this year was all about peek-a-boos, cut-outs and flesh flesh flesh. Is everyone on excellent terms with their laser hair removalist? What kind of underwear trickery has to happen? Who wore it (or didn't wear it) best? And despite how entertaining it all was, there's another darker message it's sending. Join Mamamia editors as they recap the year that was in this six-part bonus series.

BONUS: The Year Of The Avocado
In 2012 it was activated almonds. In 2013 it was quinoa and acai bowls. Last year, Kale stole everyone’s hearts. And in 2016, Australia stopped for Avocado. It’s the fruit of the Zeitgeist. On menus in every corner of the country, beloved by hipsters and health nuts alike, you can buy an avocado facial, avocado chips and avocado brownies, and avocado tatts are up 800%. But its influence went far beyond food and fashion. It sparked an intergenerational war. Your host was Monique Bowley Thanks to Holly Wainwright and Jo Robin Avocado is written by Luke Escombe and performed by The Vegetable Plot This show was produced by Monique Bowley For the Mamamia Podcast Network.Become a Mamamia subscriber: https://www.mamamia.com.au/subscribeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

BONUS: The Year We Filmed Everything
This year, did you share a Waleed Aly viral video? Dabble in Instagram stories or watch the PM do a Facebook live? 2016 was the year we filmed everything. So what were the big hits? What makes a video go viral? And do we really need to see Snapchat Birth? With more people watching Kylie Jenner's pouty Snapchat every day than Australia's biggest ratings shows of all time, umm, yeah. There are no signs of it letting up.

BONUS: The Year The 90's Came Back
Don your best choker. Pull on your denim overalls. Put down Pokemon Go for a minute, and switch Gilmore Girls off the TV, because 2016 was a 90's nostalgia fest. From Full House, to the Spice Girls reunion, why are we suddenly craving the delights of the nineties? It's psychology, of course, and social media. But enjoy it while it lasts because there's a theory that mass nostalgia, the way we've seen it emerge this year, will never happen again.
