Time for the Rando Roundup as I used to call it! First we see a skateboarder in baggy jeans, not wearing skate shoes. Next a couple of group shots featuring wide leg and flared pants, chunky shoes, mini backpacks, and other recognizable fashion moments of the time. A couple of girls glaring.. more girls glaring, in cross-body bags and crossed arms.. And this “You + Me = Destiny” guy, the ever-faithful extra, wearing a 90s reminiscent ‘fit of a studded leather jacket and a flannel around the waist. Also with boots and a bandanna. This dude is often seen with the mullet guy so I did add in a quick shot of the mullet guy as well.

Mr. Raditch – oh, now is when we start to observe his arguably negligent principaling. He stands by as the other students subtly provoke Rick in this episode. But Emma is bragging that he CAN’T do anything. He’s first seen in a dark suit, which is pretty different, and then again in a shirt and tie.

This whole us vs. Rick storyline is interesting because you don’t really know who the main force is here. I mean Emma seems to be the focus of this episode but she very quickly backs out of the war. Paige seems to be another focus, though we’ll understand she’s not the most aggressive in the bunch, she’s just the most affected perhaps.

On to the fashion – Paige is known to adventurously take on some of the strangest silhouettes of the 2000s. This first shirt is like, a pink cowl neck that hangs all the way down to the bellybutton. Shoutout to the casual khakis! Next is a pink ruffly blouse that ties at the waist. Also enjoy this pink holo messenger bag. Her hair has product piled on which adds a lot of texture – I don’t hate it. And her pants are kinda wide-legged, as they were back then. The next shirt – that green shirt. Wow, or is it a tunic? Regardless, it’s weird. It’s ruched and tight and baggy and short and long, everything all at once. Sadly it looks like something I would have worn, maybe to the bar in college. She also has a thick chain necklace and her signature “P” necklace. And the last outfit is an elasticized, peachy floral top that we only see in passing as Paige intentionally ignores Emma.

Serious stuff is going down but rest assured that Marco is intentionally playing around with becoming more and more stylish every day. First he looks on as Rick arrives at school. He’s wearing his hair slicked back, a grey camo shirt, and a usual zip up jacket. The next time we see him, he’s got a side part, a jean jacket that’s a little bit moto, a little bit Western, and a ringer tee.

Liberty wears a very 2000s swimsuit with that oversized floral print in ugly colors. She also wears very tiny sunglasses. She’s seen in the washroom in a red polo and her usual red plaid bag, and then in a pink horizontally striped tee.

It’s Manny hour! Her hot tub vibe is sooo cute. I love the cherry bikini and those sunnies. Unfortunately her boyfriend is farting all over the place. The next outfit is kinda subdued, oversized 60s-mod-looking earrings, a zipup hoodie, and an orange tube top. Man, I kinda miss tube tops. Ones like what she’s got on with that thick elastic band at the top. Next she’s wearing her Asian looking blouse with the vertical striping and low rise jeans. She puts on a dark denim jacket to head over to JT’s house for sex. LOL! He wishes! This last outfit!! FINALLY we get some flash! She wears a PINK FEDORA which matchers her PINK PANTS! Also, a graphic tank and platform flip flops! I’m dying!

Our lovely Ms. Kwan has her hair down, a rare sight! And she’s wearing a classic Kwan top, a chain belt (oooh spicy), and a jean pencil skirt.

Ah yes, JT’s shining moment. I wonder if Ryan Cooley felt that the writers constantly abused JT. Anyway so he’s got a major confidence problem because everyone sees his peenie and it’s small. Gosh, at least he seems to have gotten a haircut. Anyway, first he’s in swim trunks, a necklace, and some shades. At school he’s got a really preppy look of layered collared shirts. Next, in gym, he’s talking about Craig in blue shorts and a tee. Oh and sorry to show you a picture of JT tinkling, but it’s a full outfit shot and we don’t get very many of those. Long sleeve shirts under short sleeve shirts for the win. As well as the wide leg jeans. I’ve also included a nice shot of the King Cobra Penis Pump. Ew, okay, and the lovemaking outfit in the bedroom, complete with the mustache sweat, is like the worst thing ever. It’s hilarious but also makes me feel so embarrassed for JT. He’s got this breezy buttondown halfway undone, exposing his chest. loool. And the sex thing doesn’t go well if you recall – so the next outfit is here at school and it’s just so sad, he’s got a ton of flowers to say “sorry you saw me using a strange genital contraption”, with a plaid button down over an athletic-inspired tee, and casual khakis. Ouch, it is just painful. I gotta say though I kinda like most of JT’s style this episode. I don’t love it as much as early JT, but it is super realistic for the time period.

Idk why but I guess I like when Jay actually walks the walk and does something crazy. Not saying I condone violence, but since this is a fictional tale, can I say he is kind of a badass? He wears a mechanic-looking jacket, a backwards hat, a chain necklace, baggy pants, and bulky Nikes (or something similar). Also, he tries on Rick’s glasses… ohh he looks funny.
