Bernice is doing all this to go on a double date with Nil? Maybe, but I doubt it. I don’t think she likes him, didn’t he take a sip of her drink in an earlier panel. My memory is probably wrong, but I do think something like that happened. I think that her plan is to get Piro to come to the date. Again I could be wrong, but why be so excited, and so concerned about how she looks and the image she is showing. It still is not clearly established that Luann understands what Bernice intends for “her” date. By the way I agree with Tammy, I like number 2, “sporty but nice”.
Just one question, when did she ever wear #1 Fun & Flirty? I missed that, it must have been when she went to NY City. Oh, #2 would be my choice for her.
I’m sure Emo will dig it if you comb your hair down over one side of your face just leaving one eye exposed. And, do not forget to wear a pair of BLACK Doc Marten boots over black tights. Also, check your closet and maybe Tiff’s closet to see if there is a plain black flare sleeve A line dress that hits about mid – thigh…
The # 1 choice (‘Fun and Flirty’) kind of reminds me of the outfit that Tiffany wore when she went on that field trip with Gunther (fancy dress and heels to hike around in a swamp). And it’s just as logical as Tiffany’s outfit was; if you’re going hiking or bowling, you don’t want shoes you’ll fall off of…
Bernice, you’re going BOWLING. Go with the second or fourth option unless you like the idea of getting all sweaty and disheveled while wearing a short dress. And Nil isn’t likely to be impressed by frills anyway.
Trick question! The one on the left end is Tiffany’s old ‘get up’, that she wore on a field expedition with Gunther! The one on the far right is Luann’s “standard” choice. Now, to figure out the other two….
She is on the rebound. She is confounded by her reaction to a kiss from Piro and wants to see if another guy showing an interest in her could be different.
All of you commenters who think that “Fun and Flirty” would be completely ridiculous have evidently never been to a bowling place in a college town on a Friday night.
The one near me also has laser tag, pool, and a bar.
Bernice in heels? Have we seen much of that? It’s bowling and a casual date. Go with #2 or #4. Nil doesn’t strike me as a guy who is going to dress up and you shouldn’t over-dress your date too much.
Option 4’s top and bottom are the opposite colors of what she is wearing now so go with either one or the sporty because bowling is a sport. NO heels and NO hat and the casual classy’s beaded belt will get in the way. Boobs will fall out when bending over in the fun n’ flirty.
Ridiculous. Bernice doesn’t have that many clothes and has never in her life worn anything “fun and flirty….” She’s as plain as a glass of lukewarm water, and about as pleasant …. which is to say not at all pleasant….
The style of shoes won’t matter, since she’ll have to change them once they all get there. There isn’t a bowladrome in the U.S.A. (don’t know about the rest of the world) that will let you bowl in your street shoes. The reason for that is they don’t want people tracking in the rocks and dirt their shoes pick up from outside because they can cause damage the lane area.
Quite a sudden reset for Bernice. Where did that dress come from? Has she ever worn it before? Has she ever even wanted to wear it? I don’t ever recall here wearing anything but “basic neutral”.
This is troublesome. I recall Bernice spending 7 minutes in the bathroom sprucing herself up for Piro (who was waiting for her class notes) and then realizing that she just needed to be herself. She then wiped off the make up. She’s doing the same thing again now. I also notice that in all of this double date planning, she never mentions Nil by name, almost as if she doesn’t realize that the date is with him. In the texting, it sounded like she heard the words ‘double date’ only.
I’m surprised Bernice didn’t include a selection of underwear to go with her outerwear. Afterall a successful date ends with the removal of the underwear…
Once again we have Bernice overreacting, overinterpreting. Interestingly, this is the kind of thing Luann would have done in the past (Bern may be trying to emulate) but she’s more relaxed now. The last time we saw Luann obsessing over how to dress was the night before her 1st day at Pitt College. But when she got there (all dressed up) she realized everyone was wearing jeans and T shirts; Since then I don’t think I ‘ve seen Luann in that compulsive ’what to wear’ mode. I recall when they went to New York, Luann packed all sorts of provocative outfits while Bern announced that she was bringing ‘sensible’ clothes. The tables are turned now.

Meanwhile, guys will pick an outfit that best disguises the fact that we’ve been putting off doing the laundry.

With Nil, none of those will work. Bernice will need Gothic and somewhat vampire-like.

Go with neutral, Bernice. You are an neutral type of girl and being yourself is important.
kenhense about 7 years ago
Bernice should probably start with neutral. It’ll look pretty hot. I don’t think Bern is ready for a male response to the fun & flirty option.

Bernice is still over analyzing everything. She really needs to change her major. This psych stuff is messing her up.

Sporty but Nice is always a good default. It’s almost always really cute.

B, it’s bowling, not the prom. Wear yoga pants and a tight-fitting t-shirt, and 2/3 of the guys in the place will be fighting over you.

I don’t think “Fun ’n Flirty” is appropriate for bowling unless you want to show Nil and Jack your “assets”.

They’re all fine except fpor “fun & flirty” which would be completely ridiculous for bowling. (Not to mention that she hardly knows her date.)

Bernice is certainly organized. I think the sporty but nice is a great combination. I wonder what six of the hairstyles and makeup she’ll go with.

Since when did she start updating the wardrobe? Remember how she dressed for a beauty contest. Total frump.
