My Rare Attempt at Fashion Criticism
For two long weeks during my childhood, I wanted to be a fashion designer. Anyone who knows how I dress knows that I got that out of my system pretty completely. But I was so inspired by the TV show Rags to Riches, where a millionaire adopts five wacky girls, that I actually busted out my colored pencils for the first and last time in my life. It seems like they were always making their own clothes. One of the girls on the show wore clothes of her own design, and a very tight blonde ponytail. Another wore a terrible side ponytail. All of their, and my, designs involved bandeaus, and poodle skirts with peddle pushers underneath. But they, and I, may have also designed the dress Angelina Jolie wore to the BAFTA awards. If we didn't, then whoever did is seriously channeling Rags to Riches.

I LOVED Rags to Riches!! Remember they used to always sing 60's Motown songs too?
I am not sure if I am the Meredith you are calling out to, but I am going to comment anyway. Here we go:
I alsoloved Rags to Riches. And they did sing the oldies. I remember recreating their rountines during recess in 6th grade. I also remember that we were mastering "I love him, I love him, I love him, and where he goes I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow..." (which was in the show at some point) and announcing that I could not support our efforts in performing this particular song because we should not follow boys wherever they want to go. I wonder where that empowered little 6th grader went....
I digress. Angelina's dress could have totally been worn by the fashionista fosteree of that show, but not the rough and tumble tom boy. I imagine it would have been worn during shenanigans at some fancy party at the millionaires house brought on by a misunderstanding between the girls and the millionaire that he was going to return them to where they came from. When in reality he was planning some super surprise to show them how much they meant to him.
