For our rando roundup, I have a couple of ravine picks, where you can see the baggy, saggy pants and the tight shirts. Then I have an assortment of older men just giving “authority figure” – a landlord, a pharmacist, and a security guard. I also threw in Snake in his motorcycle outfit here because I didn’t want to separate out these 2000s girls in their tight clothes laughing at him.
DTNGFASHION S5E6: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For Aired: 2005
Time for the rando roundup. First we see this guy who runs the wheelchair basketball team, and he’s kind of a dick. In the museum we see a girl with a jean miniskirt and those half-leggings underneath, with flats. A very 2000s look. I never liked that half-legging trend back then. And finally, this girl in the Baby Making class wears a spagetti strap top and casual khakis.
I had to just google this to be sure, but this gal on the right in these first two pics will eventually become Carla, who Alex Nunez dates! Isn’t that funny? I’m going to go ahead and put her down as Carla because I’m going to live in a fantasy where this IS Carla and she just hasn’t met Alex yet. I think I know this actor from some other show, too, like maybe Radio Free Roscoe? She’s really gorgeous, and wears a v-neck floral dress. She’s one of Diane’s friends, by the way. As is the blonde next to her. And in the last pic is Diane’s sister, the bride, who kind of looks like a square.
Here’s our rando roundup from Foolin’. First is Frienship Club, looking extra creepy. Then a front steps shot featuring flared jeans and baggy jeans. Then the drugstore cashier, looking extra judgy when JT buys a pregnancy test. She’s got highlights, a side part, and side bangs. Oh and here’s this baby, who is not judging JT.
DTNGFASHION S5E3: Death of a Disco Dancer Aired: 2005
Here are the randoms from this episode! First is a front steps shot, showing baggy boy jeans, flared girl jeans, and layered shirts. Then is this college fair lady, totally 00s office chic, with like, THOSE eyebrows… you know. You know the ones. That’s all I’m gonna say. And lastly, Paige’s mom’s friend from Banting is here with a nice 60s inspired hairdo and a suit. How the heck did Paige not destroy her chances of getting in there, btw?
For today’s Rando Roundup, we see this white dude with braids and a beanie, lookin at his flip phone and ogling Manny. Then a shot of some guys huddled around a computer, all wearing baggy attire. And finally, a shot on the front steps demonstrating some flares and cross body bags.
Oh, hey! I took about a week off from posting because I ran out of storage space here on my site. I use WordPress, and I had filled up my Personal plan to the limit. I thought I was on Premium already and thought I couldn’t afford the next upgrade. Turns out I only had Personal, so now I’ve upgraded to Premium, and hope to have a few more years of doing this with y’all! I mean, I have like 14 more seasons to cover! Let’s hope Premium gets me through that!
Anyway, I’ve got the rando roundup for you today. First is the Tankini Tramp, who reminds me of Sara Paxton. Then is this group shot of the Grade 8s (I know, they’re older now) which is undeniably awesome. Ya know, I tend not to question these pants. Ever. Because those were the only pants I knew at the time and still feel like “normal” pants to me, even as trends changed. But like… objectively… do they look.. BAD?! Ill-fitting, even? Unflattering? Well, even if they do, skinny jeans are MUCH worse.
I had to include this mannequin shot because you can see the low-riseness of the pants, the tightness of the shirt, and that grommet belt, oof. Also at the mall, Manny is looking at this girl wearing a low-rise mini skirt, and the girl is also wearing the wig that Manny tries on… yeaaaah y’all can’t get anything past me!! I’m onto your secrets! Also at the mall is this gorgeous blonde with fillers and heavy makeup, also a miniskirt. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I still love and always have loved that golden Playboy blonde color that’s currently “out”. It’ll be back, just you watch.
Why do all the adults wear 70s-inspired clothes? Huge collars and bell sleeves? Does the wardrobe dept do that on purpose to show they’re from a different generation? Anyway, this rude receptionist for Bernice wears a terribly uncomfortably looking tweed blazer over a collar that reaches the ends of her shoulders. Gross.
Back at school, we see an assortment of cross-body bags and messenger bags. At the hot-girls-only party, Tankini Tramp Sara Paxton is apparently friends with Emma now, and her bra straps are hangin out – a favorite look! And finally.. the vodka guy is kinda gross, isn’t he?
Here’s where I round up the random and group photos from the episode. First are a couple shots of Spirit Squad, in their white tennies and Degrassi attire. Next is a group shot in the hallway featuring many sets of belted, low-rise jeans. Then is Kevin Smith’s insufferable music guy acting coked out in a leather jacket. This next shot, just a random girl at the dance – tell me that’s not Rochelle. “Hey Rochelle, wanna have lunch?” Holly J asks this girl in the hallway much later on and she smiles all big. This girl looks like Rochelle. Maybe there’s too much time between this episode and that future one, but I’m going to try to keep an eye out. And finally is an overhead shot at the dance, of these little youngsters enjoying themselves.
Rando roundup for today includes this like, lady who supervises teachers in training. So she’s watching Mr. O like a hawk. And she does look scary. She wears a brown blazer and has fluffy bleached hair. Next are these girls in the hall, reacting to the accusations about Mr. O. We see some tight layered shirts, a large pearl necklace, and a cross body bag. Then there’s the cops in their little cop outfits. Then this shot on the front steps shows more silhouettes of the time – baggy jeans on dudes and flare jeans on girls.
Here are the extras/randos for you this episode! First is Ellie’s landlord, a scary muscly guy in a tank top. Then we only get to see a couple of hockey players well, here for poker night. This one guy wearing a blazer over a tee and jeans.. he just doesn’t look trustworthy if you ask me.
