I find this extra-flat hairstyle to be jarring, but probably because until recently we’ve never seen Spike’s hair, well, flattened. It looks so different. But anyway she’s got this like, 2000s low bun thing with tons of little hair clips in there like she’s thirteen. But I think that’s what the 2000s was partly about – living or reliving your 13-year-old fantasy. She’s wearing a tee that looks like it’s some surf brand, frosty eyeshadow, a choker, and the throws on a zip up hoodie to take Emma to the mall – oh yeah and chew out a perv. Love that forever.

So here are some minor random characters and other miscellaneous shots. First is these people from the soap opera PMSing Emma is crying along with. This dude, his hair looks like, the hair satan would have. His lady friend has nice overplucked eyebrows and frosty eyeshadow. Then is this freaky pedophile at the mall, wearing a suit with a very outdated tie. But I gotta say, he was cast really well because he’s creepy as hell. Then I just took this shot of randos on the front steps to demonstrate more of the baggy clothing motif. I definitely did not see this many vests when I was in school during this time, but oh right, that’s because it doesn’t get cold here. And finally I threw in this girl with another unfinished ponytail.

Paige plays a big role in this episode. You know what? It’s almost as if, Paige represents the PERIOD ITSELF. It’s glamorous, mature, and womanly, a beautiful example of growing up and rising to womanhood. But it’s also harsh and painful and embarrassing and will call you out in public. Paige is a hard reality, just like puberty. So, first she is wearing these rimless blue sunglasses, hoop earrings, and her blue fur jacket. Then she busts in on Emma in the bathroom staring at her blood stained skirt. Paige herself is wearing an all-black ensemble, a black 3/4-length sleeve top and a black pencil skirt complete with frosty blue eyeshadow and a braided headband. She is kind enough to offer a pad, a few words of period advice, and a heads up about the boobs coming. Then, she signs Emma’s petition, again in the blue fur jacket, with new rimless sunglasses, and an orange tee.

I remember hearing once that like, Oskar was gonna be basically what Marco became. If that makes sense. But, he didn’t, but we do get to see him for a while. So here’s a lovely backlit shot of him in a visor, baggy tee, and vest.

Ashley’s hot mom is just going some accounting or something in a graceful updo and a crimson button up shirt. Is it just me, or are those shirts just plain old uncomfortable?

Manny just over here doing her sidekick duties and catering to the Emma Nelson Show in half-pigtails, a yellow tank, then a blue hooded sweater, with jeans, and finally a zip up hoodie. Not really a lot going on with Manny’s style right now, but just wait…

Kwan wears a low ponytail and a charcoal v-neck top with a dainty little necklace. She backs Emma up during her period announcement.

JT Yorke Fashion 1.9

JT is forced to come face to face with the harsh and obscene reality of womanhood in this episode. Fashion wise, first he’s seen in a long sleeve grey tee. Then he delivers his subpar presentaiton in a cap, greenish tee, and orange vest. After that, Emma shuts him the hell up by announcing she had her period. Take that, JT.
