Haha, “cringe and all.” It certainly wouldn’t have left an impact on as many young people!

I remember loving the scenes where she redesigned her uniform! There were some really fun scenes - I should watch again now with adult eyes

The fashion is really fun and wild! I’m not surprised you remember it so well.
