Mean Girls: Janis Ian

I think prior to this project I would have chosen Janis Ian as my favorite character from Mean Girls, but I’ll never think of her the same way since I read this piece on how she is the meanest girl of all.

A long sleeve gray shirt with a black tee over it with the word RUBBISH in yellow letters, a black midi skirt, and black & white tights on a dress form with purple and silver glitter converse all star sneakers on the floor in front of it.

Outfit #1: Gray Long Sleeve Shirt

Black Tee with the word Rubbish in Yellow and Bleach Stains on it. I will post more about this later!

Black Larry Levine Wavy Midi Skirt

Black and White Striped Tights that I ripped one knee open pulling on a thread right before this photo shoot. But, on the upside of things, that made it more authentic since Janis is actually wearing knee-high socks with bare knees in that outfit.

Shoes: Purple and Silver Glitter Converse All-Star Sneakers

A long sleeve brown button up, a black midi skirt, and black & white tights on a dress form with purple and silver glitter converse all star sneakers on the floor in front of it.

Outfit #2: Same as Outfit #1 with Chocolate Brown Apt. 9 Collared Button-up Shirt that I borrowed from my partner, but I might have just acquired forever after realizing he has not worn it since when it was…

Previously seen on Eleanor Vance from The Haunting.

Hair: Natural Black Beehive Wig

Previously seen on Dracula’s Bride from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

I held the long ends up with two claw hair clips, put two glittery barrettes in the front to hold the bangs to the side, and added some twisty up-do gems in the beehive bit since I couldn’t find my baby butterfly clips. (I hope I didn’t get rid of them!) Sure, this wig is a bit large for Janis’ do, but it still tracks because even in the movie there are jokes about her wearing a wig.

Prop 1: Red Framed Chalkboard Easel with White Chalk (not pictured). I bought this on sale with the intention of using it for in-person shows where I sell my homemade jewelry, but now I don’t really do that anymore.

Prop 2: Small Piece of White Paper, Number 2 Pencil, Rolled Poster, and Wooden Back Scratcher (used as a pointer) that they handed out for free promos at the State Fair one year.
