Don’t Believe the Hype
Aired: 2002

Manny’s still wearing the braids with lots of hair ties, and today she’s got on a purple floral tee and low rise jeans. It’s still so funny to me to look back and see all that we had hanging out and it was just normal. Don’t get me wrong, as always, still love it. And then she wears her dark denim jacket, which I think is the same one she wore on her date with Craig, over a maroon top.

Shout, Part 2

Manny is rocking 3 or 4 pigtail braids, and a summer sunflower tank. Then she wears an orange tank with a jean skirt, just, you know, doing sidekick stuff.

Ellie Nash Fashion 2.6

First Ellie is sporting an elaborate purplish braided updo, with frosty eyeshadow, dark lips, a bellybutton ring, denim skirt, a black vest thing over a grey tee and mesh long sleeves, knee-high socks, and chunky shoes. Oh yeah and a close up of this triple-buckle grommeted belt accenting that low-rise skirt. People are so quick to call her “goth” but she’s so different than goth. Her style is really unique, I love it. She gets her cartilage pierced like it was nothing and goes along on her way. Next, is El in RED. I hate when people say redheads shouldn’t wear red or pink. Because I LIVE for it. This getup is bomb. A red flare-sleeve shirt under a black tank, plaid skirt, spiked necklace, and another braided updo. I adore this!

Attila is Ellie’s cousin. I wish we got to see more of him but this is it. He wears a goatee, a long braided ponytail, a septum piercing, and has a biker look in a black tee, leather vest, and lots of tattoos. Surprisingly, though, he’s blaring opera music in the tattoo shop.

Aired: 2002

Manny is sporting a wicked zigzag part and braided pigtails. She wears a jean jacket, red top with ruffly sleeves, and what looks to be an athletic-style maxi skirt, not unlike one we used to see on Ashley in Season 1. Oh wait, I just got a better look at these pigtails. This is like, French braided on the top, then tied, then a handful of smaller braids are created out of the original two, and then they’re tied again at the bottom. Who did this to her. Anyway, for the next day of course, she wears same hair different hairties, along with a blue long sleeve top, and some pants that I can hardly make out though they look to have a design on them.

All I have for you today, is Ashley staring at Spinner’s boner. This is a theatre class moment so she’s wearing like, a sparkly mardi gras hat or something. We can also make out she’s got braids and a choker on.

Paige Michalchuk Fashion 2.4

Paige wears a paisley-type crop top of orange and yellow, black cropped pants, and platform mules. She completes the look with little braids in her hair, tinted glasses, and her bellybutton ring on display. You’ll also see that she’s carrying that clear case as a purse again. The next ‘fit is for school picture day. It’s amazing. I love Paige in pink. She’s got her hair down, with a few random pieces curled prom-style. It’s horrendous. Like in the best day. She wears a pink jean jacket over a pink top, and frosty makeup. Oh yeah and the look has to be temporarily ruined when she most don her lab coat for science class. But she’ll make it through.

Manny is always very color coordinated. Her hair ties, necklace, and spaghetti strap tank are all blue in this first shot. Then it’s picture day, and she wears an orange front-tie tank shirt with some dark pants.

I try to avoid sharing screenshots with opening credits in them but it couldn’t be avoided for this first Manny ‘fit. These pigtail braids, hairties matching the orange and pink outfit, it’s just a special moment that we really should enjoy. Soak up all the innocent Manny you can. I can already feel her changing.  The next outfits is more ponytail braids, cropped pants, tennis shoes, and a green tank with that curly wavy edge they used on the 90s/2000s. I feel like there’s a term for that, and I tried to google it, but no dice.

Rumours and Reputations

Sidekick Manny is over here in a hooded sweater, pigtail braids, and also a jean jacket. I sure am noticing a lot of hoods in the 2000s now. I also can’t help but notice every time, that when Liberty walks in and everyone stares at her seriously, and Liberty runs off, and everyone is supposed to look sad, but Manny (or rather, Cassie) is clearly trying to hold back some giggles. It’s so weird. Watch for it next time!
