On MPDG


Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

Like most television-watching female patrons would, I felt innate pride when my raggedy, felt-decorated, Anthropologie cardigan was sported on the adorkable guidance counselor on Glee, and then a few months later on the least-cool granddaughter on Parenthood, especially after debating for way too many minutes/hours/days/months (given their generous return policy) about whether to trade it in for that shiny gold dress I would never wear but needed to have. Because it's easy to get distracted by the authenticity of our favorite characters, comparing the nuances of our own (real-life) wardrobes and haircuts to the endearing, quirky actors on the other sides of our screens, forgetting almost immediately that actual bangs and pixie cuts (almost always) never look as good. Enjoy!
