![Brandon and I started an Alias marathon about two weekends ago and have made it almost all the way through—finally on the fourth season.
Alias is one of my favorite shows of all time, but mostly because it was a huge high school fixture for me. I wanted to BE Sydney Bristow, or…Jennifer Garner. I cut my hair like her. I wanted to have arm strength like her and mostly—I wanted her on-screen (and off-screen) boyfriend, seen above.
[Spoilers Below!]
While watching the series, I was again reminded too of how completely beautiful Melissa George was in the series (playing good-girl-gone-bad Lauren Reed) and why so many Alias fans rooted for her, even as she tried to kill…almost everyone.
We used to have Alias nights at my house and invite a few friends over and my mom would make popcorn and my sister and I (well, mostly my sister) would make cookies and we’d all sit around and watch. So fun.
There are a few things I can look back during my four years of high school and say, without a doubt, I was having fun, but Alias nights were one of them. Perhaps (definitely) more geeky, playing in the band and orchestra and taking long bus rides with my best friend Lisa and my sister to go play at concerts was another.
But, Alias still takes me back to great times and rewatching the series with my husband only reinforces the fact that this show will be one of those special ones I can always pull out from the stack of DVDs and rewatch and love.
[Also doesn’t hurt that the show has so many awesome female characters!]
And, because this is a fashion blog—here’s a look at a few of my favorite Sydney Bristow “aliases”:
