Vicky Friedland Fashion 1.13

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.

Vicki 2

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 1

Susie, Susie, your clothes do not excite me. Starting with this episode, though, Susie has some cute beaded braids.

Susie 2.2 Susie 2

The gold and black sweater is pretty cool though. But the stank face is not!!

Ships. (?!?!)

I’m probably like the ONLY person in the world who doesn’t understand this “shipping” and combining of names to represent a couple. But… what is this? WTF people.

People used to do that when two people spent so much time together “they were practically one person” – if Joe and Sally are so obsessed with each other that they’re never apart, people would jokingly refer to them as Jally. And then there was Brangelina, the exceptionally popular celebrity couple that got their own special name which in turn spurned a cultural disease. Ships.

So apparently, now, if you’re dating, you’re automatically Soe or whatever obnoxious name combination people can think of. And there’s no standard! If you want to call them Camaya, do it, if you want to call them Mam, do it! Be as annoying as you want!

And what the hell is shipping? That’s about the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. And endgame? WTF does OTP stand for? Like, where am I?

And what’s with the obsession with relationships in the first place?! You know, on DJH and DH, and even TNG, some people never dated at all! Or dated only a couple of people! Now everyone dates everyone and their dead brother!

Back in the day, there used to be more important concerns besides dramatic relationships and careless sex!

And what’s with this term fandom? That’s about annoying as shit. I hate to be lumped in with these shipping teeny boppers comprising a fandom of “omg i luv her i wish i was as pretty as her”. This, my friends, is a different type of blog, you can rest assured.

What has Degrassi – and its audience – become? Anyone else out there feeling this way?

Alright folks, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Stephanie Kaye!

Steph 1.2 steph 1

“Joey, go jump in a lake.” Steph is so irresistible in those pink leggings, she has to fight off the guys.

Steph 2

Okay, I guess Lucy and Steph both have this “thunderbird” sweater. Love it.

Steph 3 Steph 3.2 Steph 3.3

Steph looks like a total queen today with sky-high hair and a pink top with pink accessories. Can you believe Wheels turned her down!?

Steph 4.2 Steph 4

I adore this look – so playful! So feminine! So 80s! Steph kills in this pink dress, pears, and high side pony with a bow!

Steph 5

Operation Make Wheels Jealous is in full swing. Steph has on an awesome ensemble of navy, red, and turquoise in her usual mini skirt & tube top silhouette.

Steph 6.2 steph 6

Teased hair clipped to the side, white graphic tube top, and white high waisted mini skirt cinched with a blue belt.

Steph, your appearance in episode 13 was a success!

Spike 1

Crappy picture, sorry! Here’s Spike in a royal blue oversized sweater.

Spike 2

Yes, this is for real. Who cares about her black cardigan or white shirt – Spike is wearing a necklace… with wooden jungle animals all over it.

Spike 3

Spike finally looks a little more edgy in this getup. Although I’m at a loss for words to describe it right now.

Name Repetition

I know I’ve been sticking to fashion mostly, but since the thought crossed my mind, I thought I’d  make a “discussion” post today! The topic is name repetition in the Degrassi universe!

We all know there have been two Mayas AND a Mia throughout Degrassi… But I noticed something I found funny within DJH.

Christine Nelson….

Spike 4.2

and

Mike Nelson….

Mike 2

These two completely unrelated characters have the same last name! Why? Was it intentional? The writers could have easily made Mike named Mike Smith or something else.

And what’s more, SPIKE NELSON and MIKE NELSON rhyme!

What do you think? Anyone else know of any other name repetitions or oddities with the Degrassi universe? I have more I’ll post about later.

Snake 1

You guys, this t-shirt has some sort of scraggly cartoon cat on the front. I’m not sure if it has any significance. But we will be seeing it again.

Shane 1

Shane is all red today. Starting from the bottom (heh…) He got them white tennies, though. I am so inspired by this show that I recently bought my own white tennies. I can’t remember what these red pants are made of – they might be more track pants, or some of those swishy-pants. Well, regardless – they’re RED PANTS! I don’t see any guys wearing red pants these days. He completes the look with an orange and red plaid shirt, and his brown bomber jacket that we will see more of later.

Rando 3

Hello, some random dude. Now I don’t cap every random person I see – I only do if their outfit is noteworthy. I think this horribly 80s sweater definitely fits my requirements. It looks like something an 80s psychiatrist would wear. I guess I’m getting that impression from Neil on The Santa Clause…. anyone?!
