[Hi There, Am Pam]

It's Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years!

[Kelly Kapowski]

lol.

[The Tourist]

friggin' heck poo, it sure is!
I always found Winnie to be sexay, I dunno why. I guess cos I always thought Fred Savage was a much bigger kid than me... cos he was at the time of me watching it. um.

[The Tourist]

wow, that really didn't explain anything. :O

[LOST_kitty_k]

I want a jumper as well but in black. It's another pattern. I'm obsessed with patterns.

[Hi There, Am Pam]

Every guy our age got introduced into puberty by Winnie Cooper. It's universal. I guess the bangs in the front haircut says "innocence", but the eyes say "wild nympho".

[Kelly Kapowski]

my great grandmother used to make me jumpers all the time when i was 5 ;(


i was thinking of getting winnie bangs tomorrow but i think im stickin' to my ole sideswipe thing ;( more like asswipe.

I hate dresses. I look so horrible in them..Seriously. I found like one dress at Wet Seal before that I loved..They only had one in my size, and when I came out of the dressing room after trying on jeans..It was gone. :cry:

[gangsta puffin]

can i post a picture of my wedding dress, since danny won't read here, cause it's the chick board??

[Barbara]

sure!! I would love to see it

[Static Split Screen]

I like all Barbara's dresses! I love old-fashioned dresses and used to have the time of my life at the renaissance fair because my friends aunt had tons of aweome dresses. I hardly ever wear dresses anymore though, I don't know why. I get cold too easily or something.

I have a black dress very similar to that, it's great and it's almost obligatory to have a big arse to wear one, hurray! I like to wear it with my leopard print heels and pretend I'm in Last Exit To Brooklyn, but I hardly ever wear it out because it's a bit "wanton".

[Kelly Kapowski]

ugh that sounds so farking neat. I love love love leopard print heels, but i can't own them for another 5 years b/c i doubt i'll own anything nice enough within that time to wear them with. I want to come to your house b/c i think we are kind of a similar size and both have retarded sized boobs!

[ramblingrose]

The whole point of those shoes, to me, is that they are always the most fabulous thing I'm wearing. I usually just wear them with jeans and something black on the top. I don't know how exciting you'd find my clothes but I'm sure my shoes and bags would be of some interest!

[Leela]

I really want this pattern so I can make one of these.

Um could you make me the black one? THNX

[Leela]

Hey do you guys know where I could get like the 50's cocktail style dresses? I've wanted one for years but have never found one that wasn't 300 dollars ;(

[Barbara]
