PreTeena by Allison Barrows for December 02, 2019

I guess Teena school doesn’t have a dress code. I guess Teena only want’s to wear t-shirts and shorts.

Jeri’s list is the same, except without the word “no”….

Ha! Teena & Stick shopping @ the “U-Trou Boutique”!

And no excuses.

I personally don’t understand tomboys. I love the girly stuff.

Teena looks great in a dress, but doesn’t feel comfy.At least other kinds of socks are welcome.It’s going to be chilly come winter only wearing shirts, though.

Just get her some flannel shirts and Wolverine boots!

so would a list of what is allowed be shorter?

And then there’s the school code: “No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it’s dark.”

When I was in junior and senior high, girls always had to wear dresses or skirts, even in the middle of winter. Since I have always preferred comfort and practicality over following the latest fad, I think I have only worn a dress about three times since I left school more than 55 years ago. I don’t imagine I ever will wear one again.

This reminds me of what I didn’t like about last week’s fantasy roll playing. A girl like Teena would not imagine herself in skin tight dresses and sky high heels. She’s more likely to picture herself working as a scientist or veterinarian or even an army officer, not some empty-headed model.
