DH S2E13: One Last Dance
Aired: 1991

Joanne is giving us a mean education again, but hey, her message is received. First she’s wearing this tee with like, a plant or something on it. She wears it with big old rolled jorts and leggings and flats. Idk if they called them flats in the 80s. She’s screaming something about drinking litres of saliva. Then she wears a black tee and a vest, and finally for the dance, well-lit as always, she wears something dark, and that’s all I can tell you. I love that she says hi to Dwayne – “It’s good to see you.” That means so much, even though it’s such a small gesture.

DH S2E10-11: Showtime
Aired: 1991

 

This is it, Joanne’s biggest moment – her role in Showtime. She gets the most lines ever as the girl who is trying to reach out to her troubled friend Claude. First she wears a lavender tee, jean shirts I think, with leggings. Then we catch her in a tee and vest. Next, those jorts and leggings with a menswear-type shirt. And finally for the fashion show she wears a nice blue getup and her hair all fixed. I have to say her little spiel at the start of the show is really moving. Yay Joanne!

DH S2E1: Bad Blood Part 1
Aired: 1990

I like the role Joanne plays in AIDS education. BUT. She’s kind of a brat about it. She’s a little combative and condescending. I understand why she would be, especially since she’s sick of the misinformation and stereotyping that comes from the ignorance. But she kinda just barks facts out at everyone. Later of course, she becomes a great example, but we will get to it when we get to it. Joanne is actually a little more dressed up than normal, with her hair did and some pretty earrings in.

Aw, here’s Joanne dressed up a bit more colorfully than usual, in this teal and blue colorblock sweater. Also I bet Yick was pissed she took his loitering spot.

Joanne is pretty much in denim or grey, or t-shirts or something like that. Just laying low, I guess, until her shining moment (in “Showtime”).

I know Joanne played a crucial role toward the end of DH, but when you really observe Joanne in the background before all that, she’s kind of a gossiper, rumor mongerer, a meddler if you will. Look at her! She’s probably gossiping right now! She’s super eager later on to peer out the window and watch Heather and Wheels’s romantic entanglement too. Anyway, we are here about the clothes. Joanne typically has a pretty plain style – t-shirts, denim and the like, so no surprises here.

DH S1E4: Dream On
Aired: 1989

Joanne….. I feel like she’s in here in the bathroom trying to eavesdrop on everyone she can, so she can spread some rumors around. She’s looking extra-suspicious in this oversized tee, jean jacket, and black leggings.

DH S1E3: Breaking up is Hard to Do
Aired: 1989

IDK WHY JOANNE IS TRYNA BE ALL UP IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. But here she is gossiping alongside Nancy, watching her spread the rumor she herself started, in this deminy shirt thing.
