A Mean Girl? Or Clueless? These €3 socks from Penney are a MUST-buy

Aug 19, 2015

We're having a major love-in with Penneys lately.

Its autumn stock as just landed – and contains a number of key, killer capes, boots, hats and jewellery that we're coveting until pay-day.

But the retailer also does fun and funky accessories rather well – and when we spotted these AMAZING socks, well, let's just say that we'll be stocking up (socking up?) with at least one pair in each design.

Costing just €3, the items feature either a Mean Girls or Clueless motif, and come in a soft pastel hue.

Two relevant catch-phrases – "On Wednesdays we wear pink," and "Ugh as if," also adorn the socks.

And we reckon for an added spring in our step, slipping these on under winter boots would be just as much fun as wearing them around the house.

If Daenerys Targaryen was in… Clueless?

Emilia Clarke was on Jimmy Kimmel Live when she proved that she can not only nail High Valyrian and Dothraki, but the quintessential ‘Valley Girl’ accent as well.

The 28-year-old Game of Thrones star was telling a story about when she had to put on an American accent so she wouldn’t be recognised buying an air conditioning unit from a Home Depot in New Orleans at 3am.

The Terminator Genisys actress admitted that her real-life fake American accent is somewhat different from her fake on-screen American accent.

When Mr Kimmel asked Emilia’s alter ego, “Callie from the Valley,” where she got her accent, she answered, “I, like, love Clueless.”

Actress under fire after controversial rape comments

US actress Stacey Dash has come under fire after making some very controversial comments about rape on national TV.

The Clueless star was appearing on Outnumbered as a panellist, to discuss a recent news story reporting how female students at the University of Virginia have been told to avoid parties as part of a campaign to end sexual violence.

Stacey quickly weighed in with her opinions, shocking her fellow panellists, saying: “I think it’s a good thing for the good girls to be told to stay home, be safe. The other bad girls – bad women – are the ones who like to be naughty, might go out and play and get hurt and then, you know…”

She added: “But the other thing about this is that it then blames the alcohol instead of the person who over-drinks. So it’s like, the same thing with guns. Guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Alcohol doesn’t get you drunk; you get yourself drunk.”

Many viewers got the impression that Stacey was trying to say that rape victims are responsible for their assault, and took to Twitter to blast the actress for her comments.

“Stacey Dash’s soul is dead. How dare you say that about myself and other rape victims?” wrote one user.

STACEY DASH LITERALLY JUST SAID THAT ONLY "GOOD" GIRLS WHO STAY HOME DONT GET RAPED. BRB ONE SEC DYING

Meanwhile, another commented: “Remember when Clueless was a good movie Stacey Dash was in, not a description of her remarks about rape? That was nice, I miss that.”

Stacey has yet to comment on the controversy, but we’ll be interested to see how she explains herself out of this one.

12 thoughts every girl has watching Clueless for the first time

Most of us would have seen the wonder that is Clueless for the first time, way back when.

We’re talking pre-teen territory here, so we were SO innocent, we were SO naïve and we were so very, very confused.

We knew we loved it, but what were they talking about? And what is that girl wearing?

Here are 12 thoughts we pondered while getting to grips with the adventures of Cher, Dionne and the crew.

Is that girl actually going to wear a top hat to school today?

What the hell is polyester hair?

Is ‘surfing the crimson wave’ what we think it is?

Woah, woah, woah. We really need that fluffy pink pen. Am i in love with that pen?

What’s a homie and how do you roll with one?

Elton just mentioned The Cranberries! I know who they are!

Why is it funny that Cher likes Billie Holiday? What’s wrong with him? Is he bad?

What does ‘tardiness' mean and why is Travis giving a speech about it?

Why is Tai so surprised they have coke? Are we missing something?

What is Murray saying about Christian on the highway? He likes cake? He’s got a friend called Dorothy? Why are the girls acting like that’s a big deal? We LOVE cake!

Did Cher coordinate the colour of her chewing gum with the colour of her outfit? Just wow.

Cher has a computerised wardrobe, so why does she use a drink can instead of hair rollers?

NOW, we know so much better! We think.

We are so excited about Katy Perry’s next gig!

There is a musical version of the ’90s classic Clueless in the works, and Katy Perry has approached Amy Heckerling, the original movie’s director, about playing the part of Cher Horowitz!

Heckerling said: “Katy Perry has expressed interest, and I love her to death!”

However, Katy has some competition in the form of Iggy Azalea. The blonde rapper impressed Heckerling with her re-enactment of clueless in the video for her song ‘Fancy’: “It looked like they had more money for the video than I had for the movie, but I was extremely flattered and I thought she was amazing. And whoever did the costumes, I don’t know how they did that. Maybe Iggy wants to do it!”

We’re definitely team Katy for this one! What do you think?

1. Waking up is an ordeal of drastic proportions

Everything hurts. Why can’t I just stay here in my cave of comfort? It’s not fair.

2. I’m sick, I’m definitely sick

Everyone’s first thought in the morning, whether it’s before going to the library or if you’re dying from the night before. This thought has run through everyone’s mind at some stage.

3. Shower time is the best time

Literally the best 15 – 20 minutes of the day. However, the moment you vacate the bathroom the sunshine starts to disappear and your world is filled with darkness once again.

4. Pigging out

Ah fridge, my trusted food friend. You can always fill my hunger void. Comfort me. I need someone to love me as much as you do.

5. Vegging out/procrastination

^ Said no person ever.

6. Feeling sorry for yourself

Why is my life so hard? Why do bad things happen to good people? I didn’t even drink that much? *Your bank balance says otherwise..

7. I can’t wait to sleep again

What is life? I can’t go on. I need sleep. I need my bed.

Just hide away from the outside world for the rest of the day. Nothing bad will happen if you don’t go anywhere.

Alicia Silverstone has some controversial advice for you, ladies

Alicia Silverstone’s book, The Kind Mama, is aimed at mums to be, but she also has some advice for women in general.

The new book has caused much controversy surrounding Alicia’s views on motherhood and it doesn’t stop there!

The Clueless actress has claimed that tampons can make women infertile: “Unfortunately, feminine-care manufacturers are not required to tell you what’s in their products which means that noone’s talking about the potential pesticide residues from non-organic cotton and the ‘fragrances’ containing hormone-upsetting, fertility-knocking phthalates that you are snuggling up to your hoo-ha.”

Alicia also goes on to say that the vagina is the most absorbent part of the body, except she calls it a ‘chichi’.

Brittany Murphy’s last ever movie will finally hit the big screen – more than four years after her death.

Described as a thriller about love gone wrong, Something Wicked stars Brittany as a psychiatrist attempting to uncover sinister forces causing a newly-wed couple’s relationship to fall apart.

Murphy died in 2009 after collapsing at her LA home. The coroner determined the primary cause of death was pneumonia, but said multiple drug intoxication was also a secondary factor.

The movie will first be released in on April 4th in Eugene, Oregon – in honour of where it was filmed – and will be shown at various cinemas in the coming weeks.

Producer Joe Colleran praised Murphy’s acting in a 2011 interview with USA Today, calling a moment in the film “one of the best scenes of her career.”

Something Wicked also stars One Tree Hill’s Shantel VanSanten and Pretty Little Liars Julian Morris.
