Another year with Ms. Avery… I don’t think anyone is complaining. She looks like a total boss in this white dress with a popped collar and bandanna around the neck (kind of like what we just saw Alexa wearing!). She ties it all together with a white belt.

I can’t remember now what shirt Arthur was wearing here.. a Lakers shirt maybe? Anyway, I suppose that’s not what is important. What is important is that Arthur is now in Grade 8 and is still wearing his housekey necklace!
OMG I just realized that he’s even got the key on a string that matches his shirt….
Let’s just pretend this is a key to some really awesome secret… like his torture chamber or something.

HEY EVERYONE, WE COMPLETED SEASON 1!! Let Season 2 commence: Get ready for clearer pictures, better lighting, and better clothes!
And it’s Alexa time. Thankfully we get tons of Alexa this episode – and better yet, Alexa gets Steph’s whore clothes!
As she stumbles upon the Stephanie Kaye Second Hand Store, Alexa is wearing a navy sweater, with a blue paisley bandanna around her neck, and a white peasant skirt.. with POCKETS!
It’s her first day in her new clothes, and already Alexa is making waves. Stephanie is jealous, and Simon is interested. You know, I feel like Alexa didn’t hit a “10” on the Skank-O-Meter because she didn’t tease her hair really big.
For Lucy’s party, Alexa spices up her outfit by switching the mini skirt for the hot pink leggings, and as it’s so lovingly called by my friend, “the pink sparkly thing”. It appears she has experimented with teasing her hair tonight too! I know I screenshotted this a million times, but I really wanted to capture the essence of the ensemble as best I could.
From this night, and Alexa’s tactics, we can all learn a valuable lesson: Dressing like a skank will attract a good, solid, loyal boyfriend who will later become your husband and result in happily ever after. And from Stephanie, we can learn that deciding to dress modestly will result in dissatisfaction with life, and suicidal thoughts. But more on that later.

What would a Yick post be without the orange shirt?
The school definitely had some cool merch. And I like that Yick wears it so much because it supports the assertion that he is athletic. Yay consistency!
Uh-oh, looks like Yick got another one of his orange shirt but in blue!

Aw, here’s Wheels in his cute little reindeer sweater again, with a white turtleneck.
The glorious one-of-a-kind handmade Zit Remedy sweatshirt!!! What a treasure.
DJH: Boys in Turtlenecks. Lookin’ good with that open flannel shirt.
Time for another discussion. This time it’s about connections between old and new.
Watching the first 3 seasons of Degrassi: The Next Generation, there are many references to the good old original. Mr. Simpson talking about his band, the password “broomhead”, mentions of Tessa Campanelli, and so on.
However, after spending some time in the online Degrassi community, you will see many people asking – why didn’t the writers incorporate MORE, however subtle, references to the original? It wouldn’t have hurt anyone. It wouldn’t have messed up the story, or confused the young audience. Like, for example, somehow alluding to the fact that Mr. Perino was once Jeff on DJH!
And today, I thought of another. This morning, as I was watching TNG Season 2 episode “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”, I realized something as Emma and Manny crashed the 80s dance.
WHY didn’t the DJ play one of the songs that DJH/DH used to have playing at all their dances?! Specifically Gowan! I mean come on! I became really angry. That would have been so simple! So here, have some Gowan.

Oh look, Voula got bangs. She still looks like a jerk. She keeps a nice taupe-y color scheme going on in this episode, and I especially love her blouse in the second shot. Frilly ruffles as always.

So, it took me many many rounds of watching DJH to realize:
1. That this girl is a regular on the show
2. That she is not the same person as Annie, another minor background character!
So, for any of you who may not know, this is Vicky Friedland. Now that you’ve met her, you will see her everywhere.
Vicky’s oversized “boyfriend” shirt is awesome. Spectacular “fat day” shirt.
And this shiz is what I expect to be seeing in the 80s!! Love this collar. Gotta say, Vicky is a lot more dressed up for school than the other kids – well maybe besides Stephanie Kaye.

Susie, Susie, your clothes do not excite me. Starting with this episode, though, Susie has some cute beaded braids.
The gold and black sweater is pretty cool though. But the stank face is not!!
