Saved By The Hell….AKA OREOS.
From the ages of about 7-13 I was a RELIGIOUS watcher of Saved By The Bell. SBTB for those of you so inclined to join me in my memories of the show. I would sit on our couch every Saturday morning, or lay in front of our TV with my bowl of Cheerios with 3 inches of sugar sitting on the bottom and shovel spoonful after spoonful into my mouth and pray that it wasn’t that awful rerun where Zack tries to make himself like Jessie, and it all goes just very very weird at the end and I am left with that unsettled feeling of the world not being right for the rest of the day. I swear when they kissed in that episode I heard whales breaching themselves on beaches ’round the world. It was THAT bad. Almost as bad as Zach and Lisa kissing.
::shudder::
Almost as bad as Slater and Jessie lip-synching ”How Am I Supposed to Live Without You” while dressed in costume!
The reason I bring this to your attention is simple. I just saw Tiffani Amber Thiessen( Oh Tiffani- Amber, we continue to celebrate your need for two first names and an I instead of a Y unique first name spelling!)on an entertainment news segment, and Kelly Kapowski looks amazing (AS ALWAYS- DUHHH), however, she has definitely come into her own as a woman and is rocking some major curves (please note I did NOT say “gained weight” because I really feel that she is finally resembling a real woman with internal organs. Yay for livers and spleens TiffanI!!!) And my 13 year old bang wearing-acne faced- wispy side burned self began jumping for joy within me.
How many times did Kelly Kapowski wear cut off shorts and a shirt tied under her boobs while I sat in a nightshirt with some kind of sad looking princess bear on the front? HOW MANY TIMES? How many times did Kelly’s biggest problem revolve around Zack VS. Slater, when mine was frantically realizing there was only enough Peanut Butter Captain Crunch left for ONE BOWL? HOW MANY TIMES?
And for this…for this I let my inner fat kid smile just a little bit, that age has finally caught up with Kelly Kapowski. She too wears long necklaces to distract the eye! She TOO is rocking the long shirts in style now! She TOO is looking forward to winter layering weather! (ok, I made up that last part, but I bet she is. We all love sweaters.)
Don’t get me wrong. Homegirl is still beautiful. But it’s nice to see that she might have just given into an Oreo craving or two, after many many years of cheerleading costumes and cutoffs.
I gotta say, I think she looks better now.
And I’m still jealous of her hair, even after all these years.
