This is the episode where rumours get out of control and people think Mr. Armstrong is making the moves on Liberty. And as always he generally is wearing sweatshirts, but we do get to see him in a rusty red polo there at the end.

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.

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.

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 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.

Jimmy Brooks Fashion 1.9

First, Jimmy wears a red long sleeve, a windbreaker vest, baggy jeans, and white shoes. On his birthday, he wears a navy and grey sweater. I also threw in a picture of a picture of Jimmy in a blue jersey. He actually seems like a really good boyfriend. And finally, he gets un-broken-up-with in another dark sweater, with the tee underneath peeping out. Not much to write about in terms of individual pieces, but Jimmy’s overall silhouette is really cool imo – baggy and sporty. And as I’ve said before, I think anything baggy is already cool, lol.

Oh man, here we are! The episode where Emma suffers PMS and starts her period, woo-hoo! First, she’s actually sporting the criss-cross part in her hair, and wearing a shirt with a horse and clouds on it, and a big chunky watch. I mean, it’s really kind of sad to sit and analyze this outfit. This is the outfit of a sweet carefree child. She’s about to cross that threshold into raging PMS, pain in the boobs, back, head, abdomen, and managing difficult bloodflow for the next few decades. I know Paige’s message is “You’re still a kid, just with a mini-pad” but it’s still sad for a kid to have to do all these things. I’m more period-positive these days but when I was twelve, HELL NO, so I sympathize with Emma here. So yeah she’s PMSing, so Spike takes her shopping, and Emma gets this new turtleneck sweater of brown, green, and blue horizontal stripes. She wears it with a khaki miniskirt. And come to think of it, I think this is the first time we’ve seen her wear something so womanly. Regardless, it gets destroyed in a puddle of blood and she’s then forced to wear XXL gym shorts to deliver an oral report. But she reports to school the next day with grace and dignity in a tan jacket and black pants. Thanks for the advice, Paige.
