Spike slays today in a plaid skirt and some sort of decorated tee. It says “Love Missile”. I could never catch the front. I’m no 80s genius (is it even possible to become a genius of a time you didn’t live through?!) but I Googled “Love Missile” and it’s the name of a song by a band called Sigue Sigue Sputnik. It’s really freakin weird. I see it’s described as “space punk”. So yeah, that’s highly likely that’s what Spike’s shirt is referring to. Meanwhile, in contrast to the complexities of Sigue Sigue Sputnik space punk, Joey is trying to sell Spike some Zit Remedy and she’s all “nah”.

I love how musically-focused Spike is, also without being a musician herself. That’s how I am. So today she sports a more familiar artist on her shirt, Billy Idol. Her hair is fleekin and is freshly bleached. And I’m pretty sure in 10 years no one will know what “fleekin” means. Or it’ll be the equivalent of some term like “bling bling” is today.

Ms. Snake’s Mom is surprised to see Glenn come home, wearing a blue dress with a red apron. I’m having a hard time imagining this lady disowning her son, but I guess it happened.

Snake’s segment today shows him in a personalized, bedazzled t-shirt, reading “Snake”, in case he or anyone else forgets what his name is. I also like how Snake doesn’t follow all those rules like “redheads and blondes shouldn’t wear yellow or orange”. You know what he does instead? He wears a crapton of yellow and orange.

I might’ve mentioned this before, but in college I thought of this funny concept: how hilarious would it be if someone wore a shirt with their own name on it? So I made a shirt with my own name on it because I thought it was the stupidest idea ever. Turns out…. only a couple of decades before… it was an actual thing.

Poor mopey-dopey Snake. Despite his distress over his brother’s sexual orientation, Snake still tries to dress with pride, in a t-shirt whose neck is overstretched, and of course more orange.

It’s the Shane Show! He’s wearing this t-shirt we see him in all the time, green shorts, nice and cuffed at the bottom, and white socks with white shoes.

And who wouldn’t enjoy this pasty view with that super cool way he put his shirt behind his head while keeping his arms in the sleeves! (On the real though, no hate against pale folks. I get pale in the winter myself. Plus, isn’t Canada like, always winter?)

This tee is pretty cool, it’s a very slight tie dye job. Subtle and classy.

We get one peek at Paul in this weird patterned shirt with an open vest over top. It’s pretty cool and everything, but sorry, no one is on team Paul.

Your Michelle Minute for the day combines both classic and modern versions of Michelle. First, we have “new” Michelle – the one who loves patterns, sporting this leaf-print cardigan. Second, we have “old” Michelle – the pastel queen, wearing a baby blue blouse.

Here’s your Melanie moment for the day: she fulfills what is expected of her, wearing a red collared shirt with a blue tie, a navy pencil skirt, and some kind of brown sandals.
