I was watching Pretty In Pink starring ex FOL-er Molly Ringwald and noticed there was another FOL-er in it. Why, it's Jessie(Alexa Kenna), Jo's Bronx pal from the "New York, New York" episode playing Jena, Andie's(Ringwald) ally in school. She's got her hair bleached and semi-permed in the movie,looks more feminine and says the best line ever.

Jena(to snotty girl in hush voice)-I hope they shrivle up and fall off.

Gym Teacher(overhearing)-WHAT shrivle up and fall off?

Jena- Her breasts, Maam.

It also says that Alexa Kenna died in the 80's due to asthma compication. That's too bad.

The way you worded that first paragraph totally made me laugh (a good laugh lol). Sorry it it wasn't meant to be comical

That stinks about Alexa, I didn't know that.

Actually according to the Internet Movie Database (imdb.com), the cast of Pretty in Pink were told that she died from asthma complications but acutally she was murdered by her boyfriend shortly before the movie came out and the movie is dedicated to her. How sad is that!!!

Just think of me as a short version of a tall person.

On April 24, 2008, Dana and I are going to meet in LA and handcuff ourselves to Nancy McKeon and Jay Harrington, and you're not. Ahahaha!

Jinny: Oh, come on, folks, please, don't be shy. Apparently anyone is welcome to crap all over me tonight, so please, step right on up!

Notice: If you copy me, I will be forced to send you to the outermost reigons of the pig where you will suffer miserably, for I am Jinny: Queen o' the Pigs and Penguins!
