* HighPoweredCareerWoman: Michele and Romy parody this trope in their pretense that they invented Post-It notes, wearing black power dresses with matching jackets and PowerHair. Lisa is an authentic version (as editor of Vogue, wearing an actual white suit).

** Romy and Michele also deserve mentions. In high school, Michelle had frizzy hair and a Scoliosis brace and Romy was overweight (according to her former classmates, which is odd because in school Romy was actually quite thin). They also had quirky senses of fashion and wore outfits based on two of Madonna’s outfits. 10 years later the pair are attractive, happy and enjoy their lives.

Billy was a tall, muscular and handsome athlete dating Christie, who Romy was madly in love with. They both were cruel bullies; Christie and her friends regularly bullied Michele and Romy (as well as various other students) for no reason, and at prom Billy manipulated Romy into thinking he’d dance with her, which Christie helped with. As adults, they have dedicated their lives to their children, but haven’t achieved much else. Christie is a housewife with two children (pregnant with a third) who hasn’t achieved her dream of becoming an Anchor woman, and is possibly unfaithful to her husband. Billy also works an under-paying job for Christie’s father, and is an overweight alcoholic.
