We only resorted to the above hackneyed headline in a bid to get your attention. The rest of this article is quality, trust us.
Clueless - the ultimate coming-of-age chronicle of the 90s. With pierced tongue set firmly in Beverly Hills' cheek, you quickly learned if you were a betty or a barny, how not to eat, how not to dress (if you understood the irony) and used your imitation pager to write shit like 'toe-up' and 'couch commando'.
The plot's based on Jane Austen's Emma about a spoilt young rich girl who match-makes everyone but herself, and in the end realises she better hook up with Mr. Enviro-friendly Barney-Rubble step-bro over there before she becomes a last-season spinster.
Brittany Murphy played Thai, the cute poodle-haired new girl at school who's adopted by Cher and Dionne (That's Dionne to you) who give her a much needed make-over. No one wanted to look like Thai, but our point is that Brit played the part with such aplomb that every one of us grunge-heads with a candle to Friends still plugged up our dungaree-clad arses, actually wanted to change with her, swap our fleeces for furs, wear knee-high socks with college loafers and turn our life around for the better. A decade on... Clueless still speaks to the retard in all of us, proving that style can be bought and love found with a French kiss and a girlie-gay giggle.
Brittany Murphy helped teach us how to grow. Thank you Brit. And farewell.
