Well, she didn't make up for S2, lol. I feel like Kirsten did not consider Ryan her kid. He was a visitor she "let stay in the house". Sandy clearly considered Ryan his child, Kirsten less so.

I barely saw season 2 and only saw the second half of season 3. I always knew Ryan was closer to Sandy than her, but I didn't know it was that bad.

There was weird stuff in S3 too, where Ryan just like..floated off away from the Cohens doing his own thing.

loveslullaby

Yeah, I remember him spending a bunch of time with Nikki Reed's character.

A plot that went nowhere fast. Which granted, describes much of S3.

I remember liking the prom ep at least. Shout-out to Marissa Cooper wearing Chanel while living in a trailer park, lol.

Cristofle

LMAO, that dress was NUTS. Full-on couture.

The predecessor to Jenny Humphrey rocking Valentino in the same episode that emphasized she couldn't afford high fashion.

Cristofle

I guess they spent all the money they might have spent getting out of the trailer park on Marissa's prom dress, lol.

It's funny - I spent about $250 on my senior prom dress and at the time I thought that was really expensive, lol. It was 2002 dollars, but I had always gotten my dance dresses off the sales rack before going for broke with my senior prom.

Guess so, lol

I just found out that Marissa's Chanel handbags season 1 were fakes because nobody had ever heard of them so they wouldn't want to loan. But by season 3, Karl Lagerfeld was sending in samples because of Mischa's connections.

stlavin95

Okay, that's cool

Cristofle

Those Chanel handbags are NUTS. Like $5K.

stlavin95

Sure sounds like it

loveslullaby

Yeah, up to $10k now. Gucci and Prada bags are relatively less expensive.

Turns out Mischa was solely responsible for having the characters in high fashion. She was friends with designers and got them to send stuff because she saw the merit of having that on television.
