this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I didn't think that box was standard...

But still! SO COOL! And Kato loved ALL THE SMELLS! So! Many! New! Smells! Tim shops at thrift stores about 75% of the time, so Kato is accustomed to Random Thrift Store Smells.

I don't know what to put in it. Must ponder.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So I'm reading a commentary of fashion in Clueless that I think I agree with, and they bust out

an eye wateringly clashing palette of red, white and black.

No! There are no eye wateringly clashing palettes of red, white, and black. They're, like, cosmically coordinated.

Which I get is maybe subjective, but when they suggest

Perhaps alluding to the first arrival of the menstrual cycle, the shot signifies that, like Cher and the others, she is now embarking on her road to becoming a woman by learning how to dress

I realise that being purposeful could ruin the cute incest rom com for me.

Hmm.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

embarking on her road to becoming a woman by learning how to dress

I guess I'm not a woman, then, having never learned how to dress in order to symbolically allude to the arrival of the menstrual cycle.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

an eye wateringly clashing palette of red, white and black.

No! There are no eye wateringly clashing palettes of red, white, and black. They're, like, cosmically coordinated.

Right? The entire White Stripes aesthetic is based upon the rightness of red, white and black. People that don't like that are wrong.

Because books.

I can't remember Clueless. I saw it years ago, once, but it was never one of *my* movies. I know it has a cult following, though.

Black underwear.

Because books.

If white is the dominant color, with black and red accents, it sometimes comes across very '80s to me, though.

Surely you don't mean to imply something wrong with mythe 80s????

Then again, I was kinda suckered in by the Cher aesthetic...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Possibly they meant the red white & black clashed with the mustard?

The "alluding to the menstrual cycle" comment is worse in context, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Thankfully I do dress in the black, gray and striped realm. It let me live for three weeks out of four day's worth of clothes.

And I love Clueless.
