Mayim was 14 when the show premiered; this was part of an interview timed with the first episode's launch, and of course, she's got on flowers and a floppy hat and some Docs. I am not sure why they gave her an umbrella. Isn't showbiz supertitious? That umbrella is OPEN indoors, people.

This was Press Tour Day for winter TCAs. I wonder if Mayim felt like she had to dress like Blossom would, or if Blossom took cues from her portrayer, or if they grew into each other.

They made her do this in both of the updated main-title sequences, so I guess they were pretty excited about her ability to do the air splits.

She was wearing headbands right at the same time and age where I was like, "I am never wearing another headband." I have held to that goal.

I would really like to know where Blossom supposedly got that brooch. The vest was VERY 1990s.

The massive, bunchy white socks and dirty Reeboks ALSO bring me right back to middle school. People wore the ones where you pull them up as high as they go, and then twist them.
