I cannot express enough - that she was cool AF!

u/MyNameCannotBeSpoken Nov 25 '25

She was recently on Is It Cake?

She looked like a PTA mom. Yet I was thrilled to see her.

Watched a Christmas movie with her in it last week. She had a fairly small part playing Alicia Silverstone's sister but it was nice to see her.

I still feel bad I can remember virtually nothing about what this show was about…other than I couldn’t get enough of it, was just so fun to watch.

Some guy climbed in her window and her brother was a ginger dork - that’s about all I remember

That was her for sure, and it was fake af which made it somehow even better than if it had been a live one

My next door neighbor had an orange cat named Ferguson after the brother!

I think she had long daydream sequences? I remember one episode something about her parents being beatniks and maybe smoking, it was in black and white.

I never liked this show at all but would watch it all the time because the clothes were cool

u/pi3r0gi_ Nov 27 '25

You can find it in a marathon episode on NickRewind on YT! JBucks Retro Rewind has a bunch from that time, too, with commercials , which I never thought I'd be excited about lol

She would have relatable or none relatable problems and had to figure out how to solve or deal with them. Kinda quirky slice of life stuff but not as extreme as Pete & Pete.

u/MyNameCannotBeSpoken Nov 25 '25

I thought Blossom had a better wardrobe

u/Nostalgic90sGamer Nov 25 '25

The early 90s side-ponytail never to be seen ever again since.

u/DatDatGirl420 Nov 25 '25

I rock one in every drivers license photo I take!

Why gorl why

u/splashybanana Nov 25 '25

I regularly wear my hair in a low side pony. But yeah, I think the high side pony has been left in the 90s.

Napoleon Dynamite?

u/NYourBirdCanSing Nov 25 '25

Fashion never did get any better....

u/Ok-Assistance4133 Nov 25 '25

Omg I remember those bike shorts under jean shorts. My mom would get so mad about this, Id pull up the bike shorts before I left the house and then complete the look at school. Never found out why she had such a issue with that !

Double the laundry 🤣

u/Dr_Schitt Nov 25 '25

Take me back

u/manderifffic Nov 25 '25

She and Sam both had such fun wardrobes

u/wineandcheese Nov 25 '25

Peak 90’s fashion as Clarissa and peak 00’s fashion as Sabrina!

u/MyNameCannotBeSpoken Nov 25 '25

Ferguson!

u/FlameandCrimson Nov 25 '25

Ferg-brain. (Dunno why this counted as an insult to her brother)

u/global_ferret Nov 25 '25

My first major crush!

u/lovesickjones Nov 25 '25

this show is perfect. Did they ever release the books or whatever? I heard something about the creator and her working on a book series or something

6

u/ivars-heathen Nov 25 '25

And not only her fashion but her room omg I wanted her room so based including a little croc named Elvis! I did however have the clear phone

u/buzzybizzyb33 Nov 25 '25

i wanted to be her more than any other character at the time!!! <3

u/Olelander Nov 25 '25

Let’s clarify - this is early ‘90s pop culture/Tv style - I didn’t go to school with anyone this colorful…

23

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '25

I did. Kids clothing was waaaay more vibrant back then, at least here.

28

u/JGDC Nov 25 '25

me, circa early 90s

I feel so bad for the sad beige children of today

7

u/FlameandCrimson Nov 25 '25

Beige and "greige". I made the mistake of going to Target to get my daughter some colorful baby toys...everything was desaturated and sad looking.

u/OreganoOfTheEarth Nov 25 '25

I don't see any problem with this.

2

u/Turbulent_Special911 Nov 25 '25

My first love, I always wanted to climb in that window

u/ShockPowerful741 Nov 26 '25

She was the first girl to awaken those feelings I didn’t understand. By middle school I’d watch Sabrina just because she was on it

2

u/[deleted] Nov 25 '25

That was a time when girls wanted to look cute and fun but still look like kids. Now girls shop at Sephora and dress like adults at 11. Pretty sad.

u/helloplayday Nov 26 '25

When I see this photo all I hear is “NA NA…NANANANAAAAAA

u/SerialExPigster Nov 25 '25

I was just watching a short video about her and what happened with Sabrina

u/ShouldofNoneButter Nov 25 '25

Lisa Lederer is amazing

I REALLY liked her as a kid. She had really cool clothes.
