Modest is Hottest?

Well, I was definitely thrown for a loop in this one. Ellen. Does this mean that you've successfully bamboozled your followers so that they weren't able to guess the twist?

I think Sarah is jealous of Vikki going out with.. (is his name Jacob?), and angry at Mariah for encouraging Vikki to date him. They are acting catty to each other, but putting on faces for Vikki, so it results in her thinking they are hiding their anger at her, but its really towards each other.

Hmm, I wonder if perhaps Mariah approves of what Vikki wears while Sarah doesn't? Or the other way around? Maybe one of them is using the argument "modest is hottest" and the other disagrees?

Yes! She also had a discussion with Cat about music.


Kodak moment! Everyone smile!

I think the dress looks pretty nice.

Ohhhhh. This is gonna be one of those "Ha, I told you so!" and "Wipe that smug smirk off your face, you jerk, I still don't believe you!" incidents, isn't it? Well, approximately. If I'm right about this.

And I concur with kanna; I think Vikki looks pretty awesome in that dress. I like how the dress's blackness matches the fur on her extremities (aside from the tail tip).

And random person hangs from the ceiling.

Hm, so Sarah thinks the dress is okay but just needs the wrap and Mariah doesn't. Maybe Mariah's date was paying too much attention to Vikki because of her attire and Mariah blames Sarah for it?

I guess the sparkles mean that Vikki really, really liked that wrap.

It's refreshing to know that Vikki's roommates have their disagreements as times. Their first appearance reminded me strongly of the Buddy Bears from Garfield, always agreeing and smiling creepily.

Ah yes - Mariah's guaranteed smooches wrap for when she goes out with Chad. :p

Next time I get paid I must commission a piece of Vikki and Ronnie both wearing that dress...

At the same time?

As hilarious as that would be, no. I meant the same style dress.  

On a related note, I've tried picturing Cat or Dawn in the dress, but can't really manage it. Cat would be too self-conscious to make it work and Dawn doesn't seem the type that would wear that sort of thing (she leans much more toward 'elegant' than she does 'sexy'). At least, that's my view of the characters.

For those curious, Sarah's gown had sleeves, but was backless. It was also a clearance rack find.

oohhhh the dress is too short. Thats what Mariah is being so anal about.

Looks like they don't like the mini-skirt type length there...

Love her shoes.  

Would I be correct in assuming Sarah's dress was similar t this? http://www.babyonlinedress.com/images/201311/goods_img/101328_P_1383787323576.jpg

Ooh, I like that! Might have to make a sketch...
