I am digging any dress which features the solar system. I know that there is a Tina Kalivas dress that has some kind of planetary theme, but I'm pretty sure that this dress probably was in conjunction with a story about space exploration.
I could totally see some avant-garde designer sending this down the runway (forget the matching kid's version, I don't think I ever liked the blonde character anyway!). Never mind that Supre (sigh) has already put out singlets with a ribcage on it, have they ever tried a whole DRESS?
If I was ever a science teacher, this dress is all I would ever wear. Really. Did you notice that even her shoes have stars? I hope they're meant to be star buckles or something and not just meant to represent how shiny her shoes are. Anyway. Who am I kidding? I want to wear this all the time and I am definitely NOT a science teacher (I barely passed human biology).
I am not sure what type of lizard-thing her pet is. And how about her dress? I thought that block of cheese was a slice of pizza at first, when I saw it was cheese I was disappointed. She makes up for it by having a hamburger (I think?) near her armpit.
And, finally, a dress featuring volcanos. Judging by the cascading lava on the wall, I would hazard a guess that they are...in a volcano. And possibly the Tardis... I don't remember the School Bus having all that electronic equipment.
The Magic School Bus must have been around since the 80's, because I found something about her in BSC #40, Claudia and the Middle School Mystery. Enjoy this VISUAL FEAST.
"I decided to do a Miss Frizzle. Do you know who Miss Frizzle is? She's a character in this great kids' series - the Magic School Bus books. Miss Frizzle is a wacky teacher who takes her class on amazing class trips - like, would you believe, inside the human body!
Anyway, you must be wondering what this has to do with what I was going to wear. Well, here's the thing. Ms. Frizzle is the wildest dresser I have ever seen! She always wears these coordinated outfits. In Inside the Human Body, she wears a dress with eyes and ears and noses all over it. And her shoes have - you guessed it - tongues!
I decided that my theme for the day would be The Sea. I put on a blue skirt with brightly coloured tropical fish printed all over it. Then I put on a green blouse. I figured that could represent seaweed or something. I pulled my hair into a ponytail, over to one side, and I pinned it with a sand-dollar barrette I made last summer".

Lol, fantastic prints!
ReplyDeleteThe science teacher dress is awesome. I used to have a demo for a Magic Schoolbus game, it involved a beach, but that's all I really remember.
ReplyDeleteyou're right, that Frizzle is one stylish character. I would steal her wardrobe in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteoh my lord, i remember that outfit of claudia's! & that's not even one of the books i've read recently.. hmm, maybe it's from what claudia wore. anyway, super cute post!
