Confess! Ever done something to be/look like Angela?

I'd love to know what you have done to be like Angela even if it's something little! Or what WOULD you do if you could!

Because I'm a guy I'm very limited, so the only things I've been able to do is...

1-Wear two simple gold hoop earrings like Angela does.

2-I use a red toothbrush like Angela does LOL.

3-I have a patchwork bed spread like Angela too!

4-I spray myself with the perfume "Jovan musk" because it's such a classic 90's perfume that most mothers used and bought for their daughters that it's a perfume I think Angela would have worn that Patty would have bought for her! It reminds me of Angela and it's how I think she would smell.

If I was a girl I'd be able to cut and colour my hair the same as Angela's and dress like her too but being a guy I can only do so much to feel like Angela!

What about you?

Love this thread :)

Much like yourself I discovered this series recently, even if I saw it back then I would have been too young to be influenced in that manner. (It would have been so great to see it as a teen because there aren't that many relatable shows for teens.)

That being said I did color my hair red when I was a teen without permission, very similar to the color Angela had, probably had the same length too. :)
(My mom reacted very poorly too it, guess I should have invited some friends over when I made my first appearance with red hair :D)

hey Mark!

I also died my hair red, although a different type..
I think I saw the show when I was like 12 or 13 but I could really identify with Angela. Part of me still does. I can only quote my fave song from Mariah here: still I feel like a child as a look at the moon,maybe I grew up a little too soon.. and I am 32!
Angela is so 90s :)! I love her! I am rewatching the show now. I haven't done it in quite a while so I forgot many things. Now I can also understand her parents a bit, and also see how she threw herself at Jordan, but when you're 15 and in love with the cutest boy in school you tend to imagine a lot of things about him that aren't true and when you have to face him, you just overlook it because you want your fantasy to be real. That's how we were in the 90s as teens I think.. :)
