Oh my god, it’s our first Marco sighting! Turns out he is an award-winning break dancer. He’s parting the hallway with his moves in red pants and a blue shirt. Then he walked by after the dance with, the reverse on – blue pants and a red shirt. lol. This also might be the first appearance of a visor in the Degrassi franchise.

Manny wears a zip up hoodie, messenger bag, plain tee, ponytail, and flare jeans with tennis shoes. And then for the dance – the grade 9 dance which these girls decide to sneak into, Manny dresses as Molly Ringwald or something. She’s got on like, a … garden hat (I just made that up) with a dusty pink, shoulderpadded blazer, a floral vest,  and a magenta skirt, all of which could have come out of the wardrobe of DJH or DH. And she was being such a good little sidekick until Sid found out he prefers Molly over Cyndi.

Liberty time! It seems the school has been handing out those plastic sunglasses left and right because everyone’s got em. Here’s Liberty doing announcements with Mohammed in overalls and a yellow top. And she too goes all out for the 80s dance. Unfortunately if she’s dressed up as an 80s figure, I couldn’t tell you who it is. I am surprisingly 80s culture deprived. Liberty wears her hair big, lipstick and eyeshadow, bulky jewelry, and some sort of black sequined outfit which I can’t quite make out in this pitch black school. But she is definitely feeling herself.

First here’s JT with his spike hair and a grey shirt open over a graphic tee. But I’m more concerned with the next ensemble. As you may recall, the grade 7s… wait, weren’t they in grade 7 last year? What? Okay, the grade 8s have their little 80s dance during lunch hour, and JT and Toby really put in effort for this. JT wears neon sunglasses and a yellow blazer over a blue tee. I just love it. Though I don’t remember seeing any yellow blazers on Degrassi Junior High or Degrassi High.

Joey is just over here being a boring grownup, wearing a black shirt, drinking coffee, reading the paper so naturally. Suddenly, his has-been is showing when he pulls an old fedora to offer it to Craig, for the purpose of “hip and cool”.

Jimmy is in some kinda polo top with a chain and a popped collar, and a sweatband on his wrist. And then of course is another iconic image – Drake dressed up like Michael Jackson. He’s got loafers, sparkly socks, flooding pants, red leather jacket, a sequined shirt, two belts, and.. a jheri curl hairdo? I don’t know how to use jheri curl in a sentence. His hair is in jheri curl? He wears a jheri curl? I’m sorry, I don’t know. Anyway, there it is. Enjoy. It’s a surprisingly hard ‘fit to capture, it being so dark at the dance.

I don’t think Hazel has any lines but I am glad we get to see this awesome Tina Turner getup. Big earrings, big hair, blue blazer, and yellow skirt.

Emma Nelson Fashion 2.3

Emma is in this purpley-pink ribbed polo shirt, her hair kinda pulled half back, these slightly flared flooding pants with like, striping on the bottom, and tennis shoes with socks. I love how it’s basically acceptable to wear tennis shoes with anything in the 80s and 90s and 2000s. Wait, is it still? But let’s get onto the real content of this post, Emma dressed up like Spike, or Cyndi Lauper as she asserts. This is the 80s dance episode by the way, and Emma and Manny have decided to sneak into the nighttime dance for which they are too young. She wears a plaid skirt, an oversized shirt tied up, a vest with buttons, and crimped and teased hair in true Spike fashion. And a bunch of eye makeup that creased terribly by the end of the night. Where’s your primer and setting spray, girl?

Fortunately, we get a break from Craig’s browns, greys, leather jacket, and yellow camera strap for this iconic Sid Vicious costume. He wears an England flag tank, ripped up pants, and lots of necklaces. It looks pretty cool. Joey offers his fedora, and I can’t tell if it makes the look better or worse.

I like to look at this moment and think that this is the moment where Ashley went goth. She’s dressed up for the 80s dance in all black and dark makeup and I think she realized she likes it. (I will take this moment to state that I do realize, believe, and acknowledge that the goth subculture is a music-based subculture; nonetheless I do know that some people fall in love with the look first. I can only speculate which path Ashley took to goth.) Anyway, I’m not sure who she’s dressed AS, exactly, (f anyone,) but she’s wearing a short sleeve leather jacket, a ponytail, lace gloves, and lots of dark makeup. I feel really bad for her. Look how happy and optimistic she is in the first shot.
