So I've been promising to take a note from Fashion Roulette and do some snarking on Buffy fashion for awhile and I've finally done it. It's called Rulette as rulette has been my nickname since I was a wee lass.
Thanks to the original blog http://msjacks.wordpress.com/ and to [MENTION=10608]Firefly[/MENTION] for the first snark request.
Excuse the screen cap quality. I did a very basic clean up best I could, but I'm not going to spend to much time on them as I'd rather keep the original dynamic.
Lets quit this mess around. Lets get this party staaaaaaarrrrted.
Willow has clearly been watching Buffy's fashion choices over the past few seasons and has come to the same conclusion that we have. Sad times call for dungarees"¦ Ill-fitting, slightly child evoking, and multicoloured dungarees. They all look mortified at the outfit"¦ Even Buffy, whose bra line can be seen through her shirt. Xander looks confused. Perhaps he is wondering why he is the best dressed person at this picnic?
Meanwhile, Cordelia is crying while burning pictures of a terrible, cotton-polyester blend shirt. Be careful Queen C! That stuff is highly flammable! You're looking adorable in a grey sports bra - please don't burn that pretty hair!
Buffy - "Hey Will - look quickly! I toolld you that wearing the same colour in numerous shades was going to be big this season, yet you kept insisting I looked silly"
Sadly, this is only the beginning of the 'one-colour-3-shades" outfits for this episode"¦ And poor Willow! She is desperately trying to look at the fashion world, but the choker is cutting off her circulation! Quick Xander - use that resuscitation trick you used on Prophecy Girl Buffy! Stat!
SameColourMultiShadeOneOutfitCount - ONE.
(Just in case you were wondering"¦ The rest of Willow's outfit was equally as bad"¦)
Here comes Cordelia, strutting her sexy dominatrix self through SHS. Red leather at high school?! No wonder she was the boss of all! That jacket is particularly fierce, especially the way the collar sticks up and I would definitely rock that myself with a loose black top and skinnies.
Enough of my window shopping though and lets look at the girl in the background for a moment because admission time"¦ I like to look at the extras at SHS and like to imagine that Willow had a cult following of nerds that secretly looked up to her and copied her style. This girl in the backgrounds outfit is so delightfully terrible and Willoweqsue!
SameColourMultiShadeOneOutfitCount - TWO.
Harmony may be mean, but I think she already has vampiric eyesight. She has managed to do the same colour"¦ with ONE shade. Holy crap girl! No wonder she has minions! Did the rich kids in the 90's really do that with their cardigans in America? No really. Let me know in comments"¦ Anya looks adorable as usual in another SCMSOO (Yes, that shirt is green, don't try to tell me any different). In fact, I feel like she did a spell to evoke SHS fashion. Bra visible? Check! SCMSOO? Check! Cardigan over the shoulders? Check! If she's wearing clunky 90's shoes I'm impressed with her vengeance skills!

We're at the Bronze and the Scoobies are looking depressed about their wardrobe choices again. Willow is wearing Xanders Uncle Rory's shirt that he tried to give away. Buffy is wearing a reasonably okay shirt"¦ With horribly ill fitting pants. Xander? Once again is terrifying me by being the best dressed of the three! Something looks funny about those shirt cuffs though"¦"¦. Can someone tell me if they are elasticated?!
And here come the (lack of Cord)ettes! Woohoo! I know they're horrible. I know we're meant to be boo-hissing them"¦ But in this shot right here? I just wanna get my dance and drink on with them! So much sparkle and smile! Is Asian-Cordette wearing a leather dress?!?! For some reason I feel like going all Tyra Banks on this girl. "Work it girlfriend - it's fierce!" Okay. A little bit stripper and a little bit vampire but DAMN girl!
Lets face it? They're woo-girls when Robin Sparkles was still wearing acid wash jean jackets!
SameColourMultiShadeOneOutfitCount - FOUR (with GOLD SPARKLES!)
And speaking of bad things from the 80's"¦ CORDELIA CHASE! WHAT IN GODS NAME DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAAAAAIR? You look ashamed and embarrassed. GOOD. Your lovely red jublees are looking fannnnntastic and then you go and distract me with crimped hair? Aren't you meant to be rich? Don't you have a hairdresser? I'm not even angry, I'm just disappointed.

We're back at SHS. Cordy was forced to wash her hair as it smelt like banana. Apple shampoo is one thing, but banana just holds way to many obvious phallic jokes. Unfortunately she did not have time to blow dry her hair and it is looking pretty terrible. Her dress is pretty incredible and very Cordesque but the amount of points she's losing for borrowing one of Willows cardigans just equals the whole outfit down to zero.
Anya is looking every bit her thousand plus years in this shot and the fact that Cordy trusts this strange person that looks 30 and is handing her jewellery just speaks volumes about the intellect levels of Cordelia in her Sunnydale days. The white shirt doesn't fit right and OMG IS THAT A SLIP! Anya - I know you're from a much different time but REALLY?! The girls you're hanging out with are wearing goddamn LEATHER.
SameColourMultiShadeOneOutfitCount - SIX
And now we're in bizarro world where the girls don't wear leather and fun colours . Also, Harmony got an after school job with her dad as a secretary so he can give her a lift home afterwards. Also, Dorothy Perkins opened up her very own clothing line in Sunnydale and it became the next big thing. BIZARRRRRE! I'm glad that through all the career changes that Harmony went through that she's still wearing her cardy over her shoulders. "NO OLD DEMON BITCH IS TAKING THAT RIGHT AWAY FROM MEEEE!!!!"
SameColourMultiShadeOneOutfitCount - TEN
And Willow? She's all 'bitch PLEASE! I stole your boyfriend TWICE and then I even stole your leather look!' Screw the vampire thing"¦ Stealing another girls fashion statement? BAD. ASS.
Speaking of BAMF's here comes Buffy. She's wanted to go to the fancy dress party in LA as Lara Croft for so long and then she got pulled away to go slay vampires in stupid Sunnydale. Poor Buffy is missing the party for slayer duties again. Sigh. I'd be glaring if I missed the party to.
Then there are fights and people die and we revert back to Sunnydale where the scoobs are flaunting the colours cause hey - with Buffy around WHO SAYS WE CAN'T!
There's ugly purple jumpers, and snot green twinsets, and red knee length skirts, and yellow trainers and Willow turned her curtains into a skirt and WE'RE BACK IN SUNNYDALE YAYYYYY.
