Fictional Style Icon - Spike

Hello there lovelies,

Now, I dare you to look me in the eyes and tell me that you didn't watch Degrassi Junior High and wish you had Spike's hair. I don't care how many times you deny it, you totally did. I know because I did, and that means everyone must have, right? Right? What do you mean you don't know who Spike is? Spike, (a.k.a Christine Nelson) is a character from the 80's show Degrassi Junior High, and Degrassi High, who is famous for becoming pregnant at the age of 14 following her first sexual encounter. Also, she's the token "punk" chick, and has a bitchin' hair cut.

Here is a list of things you can learn from Spike:

1. Too much hairspray is never enough.
2. The bigger your hair, the more awesome you are.
3. Band t-shirts never go out of fashion.
4. Men's vests are possibly the best thing you can ever wear.
5. Actually, if you can rob your Dad's wardrobe at all, then that's bitchin'.
6. You need a skirt that is half denim, half tulle.
7. Boots and leggings pretty much rock.
8. Being an adult is pretty hard, especially when you're only 14.
9. You can get pregnant the first time you have sex, even if you stand up straight after.
10. No matter how crazy your hair is, your mum will still love you.

Love, love, love.

Until next time, xo.
