Rick’s mom is… intense. Who agrees with me? She just sucks the life out of me when she’s around. She has cute shoulder-length styled blonde hair, and wears a pink overshirt and a white blouse. And that worried expression? Yeah that’s all you’re going to get from her.
Oh, lame. I forgot we have to talk about Rick before we’re done with this episode. I have so many mixed feelings here. But what I will say is that 1) Rick should NOT be here, and 2) there is no reason why Rick would “like it at Degrassi”. The end.
His first fit is seen briefly, a checkered shirt open over a tee. Then, he enters school and has the audacity to say hey to all his old buddies. Oof. Gotta admit, he was ballsy. He really tried to play all this off, didn’t he? Relocate yourself Rick. Anyway, he wears these Airwalk-looking shoes, casual khakis, and an open plaid shirt over a tee. Also a messenger bag. Also his flowing hair and his round glasses.
Next he goes to The Dot and KEEPS saying hi to all the people who hate him, and he wears more of the same but with a grandfatherly zip up cardigan. He proceeds to get his glasses smashed and his gut punched, and returns to school in, well, more of the same again. Except for some substitute glasses from the 6th grade.
Time for the Rando Roundup as I used to call it! First we see a skateboarder in baggy jeans, not wearing skate shoes. Next a couple of group shots featuring wide leg and flared pants, chunky shoes, mini backpacks, and other recognizable fashion moments of the time. A couple of girls glaring.. more girls glaring, in cross-body bags and crossed arms.. And this “You + Me = Destiny” guy, the ever-faithful extra, wearing a 90s reminiscent ‘fit of a studded leather jacket and a flannel around the waist. Also with boots and a bandanna. This dude is often seen with the mullet guy so I did add in a quick shot of the mullet guy as well.
Mr. Raditch – oh, now is when we start to observe his arguably negligent principaling. He stands by as the other students subtly provoke Rick in this episode. But Emma is bragging that he CAN’T do anything. He’s first seen in a dark suit, which is pretty different, and then again in a shirt and tie.
Serious stuff is going down but rest assured that Marco is intentionally playing around with becoming more and more stylish every day. First he looks on as Rick arrives at school. He’s wearing his hair slicked back, a grey camo shirt, and a usual zip up jacket. The next time we see him, he’s got a side part, a jean jacket that’s a little bit moto, a little bit Western, and a ringer tee.
Liberty wears a very 2000s swimsuit with that oversized floral print in ugly colors. She also wears very tiny sunglasses. She’s seen in the washroom in a red polo and her usual red plaid bag, and then in a pink horizontally striped tee.
It’s Manny hour! Her hot tub vibe is sooo cute. I love the cherry bikini and those sunnies. Unfortunately her boyfriend is farting all over the place. The next outfit is kinda subdued, oversized 60s-mod-looking earrings, a zipup hoodie, and an orange tube top. Man, I kinda miss tube tops. Ones like what she’s got on with that thick elastic band at the top. Next she’s wearing her Asian looking blouse with the vertical striping and low rise jeans. She puts on a dark denim jacket to head over to JT’s house for sex. LOL! He wishes! This last outfit!! FINALLY we get some flash! She wears a PINK FEDORA which matchers her PINK PANTS! Also, a graphic tank and platform flip flops! I’m dying!
Ah yes, JT’s shining moment. I wonder if Ryan Cooley felt that the writers constantly abused JT. Anyway so he’s got a major confidence problem because everyone sees his peenie and it’s small. Gosh, at least he seems to have gotten a haircut. Anyway, first he’s in swim trunks, a necklace, and some shades. At school he’s got a really preppy look of layered collared shirts. Next, in gym, he’s talking about Craig in blue shorts and a tee. Oh and sorry to show you a picture of JT tinkling, but it’s a full outfit shot and we don’t get very many of those. Long sleeve shirts under short sleeve shirts for the win. As well as the wide leg jeans. I’ve also included a nice shot of the King Cobra Penis Pump. Ew, okay, and the lovemaking outfit in the bedroom, complete with the mustache sweat, is like the worst thing ever. It’s hilarious but also makes me feel so embarrassed for JT. He’s got this breezy buttondown halfway undone, exposing his chest. loool. And the sex thing doesn’t go well if you recall – so the next outfit is here at school and it’s just so sad, he’s got a ton of flowers to say “sorry you saw me using a strange genital contraption”, with a plaid button down over an athletic-inspired tee, and casual khakis. Ouch, it is just painful. I gotta say though I kinda like most of JT’s style this episode. I don’t love it as much as early JT, but it is super realistic for the time period.
