throwback thursday: how lizzie mcguire inspired our lives

Lizzie McGuire was on from 2001-2004, and if you watched it... her fashion and live inspired everything you did.

I was in high school while it was airing [which may or may not be weird to get inspired by Disney in high school], and would sometimes wake up an extra hour early just to do a combination crimp and curl like her.



If only I had a picture of me with that 'do.... I swear I did it all the time as a sophomore or junior. Oh dear.

Since it's throwback Thursday, I figured we might as well take a look back at the AMAZING fashions from our BFFs Lizzie and Miranda.

Bandanas: a must-have in every fabric, color, and design.

Also mandatory: Cornrolls/cornrows whatever the eff they are.

Don't wanna do either of those? Fine... grab a Kangol or bucket hat. 

OR just get some colored ponytail extensions.

If you don't have a muscle shirt [preferably with the slit or bedazzling] you're nothing.

Butterflies, flares, and showing belts will also get you in with the crew.

Look how ahead of the times she was! We're even wearing jean jackets and patterned pants nowadays!

Matching headbands and chokers are also necessary in bulk. 

I guess we can also blame her for smiling with our mouth wide open...

And for all the guys who are mad they get stuck in the friend-zone... blame Gordo.

If I had all my high school pictures here, I'd totally reflect back on all of these... but this is all I've got right now.

That hair and the high-necked shirt and choker... and the hat with the belt on display... [I thought I was cute setting up a sheet and taking pictures of myself like that.. which isn't too far off from nowadays so I should shut up.]

What a fantastic show... but we really should have known that Disney fashion is RARELY something to mimic.

where are they now?: disney channel original sidekicks

There's no way I remember any of these characters' names [okay, that's a lie... I totally remember some], and they tend to be forgotten pretty easily... so let's remember them. Put 'em in the spotlight. Show 'em some love.. on here and Twitter.

Lizzie McGuire: 


Adam Lamberg AKA Gordo. He looks the same, for the most part, and has only got 5200 followers on Twitter, and has commented on Miley just like a lot of these peeps.

LaLaine AKA Miranda. She also looks the exact same and has also made comments about Miley on her Twitter.


Jake Thomas, AKA Matt. He's been in some episodes of CSI and is filming Storytellers right now. He's slacking on the followers too, but seems to be the same little Matt we knew on Vine.


Even Stevens: 


AJ Trauth AKA Twitty. He was most recently in a show called Ro. It's a shame I can't find him on Twitter cuz I'd like to ask him if he'll marry me with his sexiness.


Margo Harshman, AKA Tawny. She was on an episode of NCIS this season, and only has 6000 followers.


Hannah Montana: [seems like they've all got a case of the Miley....]


Moises Arias AKA Rico. He's gone all gangsta in this pic and full grown-man nose. He's the voice of Antonio in Despicable Me and he's doing pretty good on Twitter. He's also BFF's with Jaden Smith.


Mitchel Musso AKA Oliver. Look at him just bein a badass with tats... but he still seems super goofy on Twitter. He's still stickin' with Disney, and is a voice on Phineas and Ferb.


Flash Forward: [more main characters, I guess] 

Jewel Staite, AKA Becca, is on the show "The Killing." Her follower count is pretty damn good, and so are her tweets:

Ben Foster, AKA Tucker, is freaking HOTT and has been in a bunch of smaller movies. I can't find a Twitter account for him.

So Weird: 

Cara DeLizia AKA Fiona hasn't really done much in the past few years, and is MIA on Twitter. DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?!

Patrick Levis AKA Jack has become an adorable family man with under 200 followers! He's also into music, but doesn't seem to be acting anymore.

There are obviously some I'm forgetting, but I think they're the ones that either no one cares about, or are around all the time anyway. 

It's crazy how they all grow up, isn't it?! Brings a tear to my eye. 

love,
