Article 5

Jeremy and I are currently re-watching 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'.  We started at Season 4 because our friend Ellie said that was where it got good (if you want to dispute that, she is the woman to troll).  Season 4 is also when Tara is introduced to the story.  Amber Benson is insanely rad, as of course is Alyson Hannigan.  And I love Tara and Willow, they're an amazing couple.  So what I am about to say is not meant as an insult towards the actors or the characters they play...

BUT HOLY HELL WHAT TERRIBLE OUTFITS.

The styling on BTVS is sometimes good, sometimes questionable and always very 2001, but for some reason the wardrobe department targeted Willow and Tara and dressed them in often outrageous garb.  Snot hues seem to have been the main colour palate they were working from.  Eyeshadow was applied with wild abandon.  Chokers were "it".  I've chosen some of the best/worst examples of their costumes, and I am going to dissect them now.  But please know it is done with love and a desire to try to understand, I am not here to drive a stake into the bleeding, pulsing heart of their love.

1. Willow: "Why are you guys being weird with me today?"


2. Willow: "No seriously Buffy, it's just a tablecloth I wrapped around my legs, great huh?"
Buffy: "Mm hm" *moves further away*



4. Willow: "Well I like Tara's colossal stone-washed denim skirt".




6. Oz: "Look, the real reason I left Sunnydale was that coat"
Willow: "Oh".

 7. Willow: "Can you imagine how thrilled I was when I found these tights that match the colour of my green skirt EXACTLY?!"
Oz: "Sadly, I can".



7. Willow: "Whats the point of us wearing the same T-shirt if you're going to cover it with a cardigan?"

 8. Willow: "Someone once said, 'You can never have too much tie dye.  And that mixing pink and red is always a good idea'".
Xander: "Who was this person?"
Willow: "Me".


9. Tara: "My shawl is so amazing I'm sending out postcards to tell people about it".
Willow: "Mention my crochet jumper too please".

10. Willow: "We should go to every party dressed in red and green"
Tara: "It's always Christmas when we're around"


13. Willow: "Oh no, that cameraman fell over again...ugh is he being sick?"
Buffy: "You. Have. To. Stop. Wearing. That. Pink. Paper. Skirt. With. Those. Grubby. Brown. Trainers."


14. Willow: "I don't care that you think my cute slogan T-shirts are what opened the hell mouth. I like them".
