The divination of Daria
Those with digital cable or satellite service might be pleased to learn that Noggin, a channel mostly for kids and tweeners, airs old episodes of Daria nightly. If you can remember the names of the quarterback and the cheerleader, then you'll believe me when I say that this show was ahead of its time.
55 Fiction Friday was like that cool jock in a John Hughes movie who went for the quirky chick.A sign was posted on every kiosk and tree.
“By royal decree, all tube tops, high heels, and underwear thongs are hereby banned. Females of all ages must dress in a manner befitting ladylike behavior.”
Single women grumbled. Return policies stiffened. Many clothing chains went out of business.
Most men failed to notice any difference.

True story: I once went as Daria for Halloweeen, and no one realized that I was in costume.
Sad, I know.
My husband went as Trent. And, yes, people did get that *he* was in costume.
Your anti-high heel prejudice must stop.
PS: Next year, go as Sandi. I love Sandi, and I would so completely notice.
C: "Nobody who speaks German can possibly be bad."
TAN: Oh right, the high heels thing. I'll stand by it. On the average I'd think most women would appreciate the suggestion.
I don't think I could pull off Sandi. But Daria is, shall we say, not such a stretch.
And, yeah, Courtney. I still wear the boots I got for that costume...
Really worthwhile data, thank you for your post.
