That technically kinda happened. When Bloo saw her in her new get up in 'Frankie my Dear' for example. He never saw her as 'hot' before that moment, did he? Whilst Mac was the good lil' boy he is and just fall for her cuz she's just a really nice friend to him. The kiss probably didn't help things either.

Actually Monk, your a bit closer then you realize with this whole "she's all that" geek image make over. Only off on two things. 1 Frankie's look even by a non Frankie's fan standards is hardly what i would call geekish, Frankie never really did need a make over, she just dressed for the occasion required etc.

And 2 No one ever really said Frankie needed a make over, which brings back to my point about her self esteem/confidence: she needs some...BADLY! Frankie may not have been told or ripped on by someone about her looks, but it's clear by Frankie's choice of clothes during FMD that she feels shy about her body.

I don't think Frankie personally thinks she is attractive, at least not in general. I think Frankie feels she needs to dress in those kind of outfits to get a guy's attention. Bloo NEVER reacted to Frankie that way until he saw her outfit, which shows obviously she really wants someone to notice her like Bloo did.

Mac thankfully isn't as shallow, the kiss from Frankie is what won him over and a sign that he already appreciated her gentle nature and simple forms of affection more so then Frankie's physical beauty alone. Not MUCH but it is something. But back to my point, I think Frankie feels she lacks a hot look.

I suspect the fancy dresses are a way of compensation. Plus, being in a place where she gets no thanks, no forms of appreciation, or any compliments of any kind, it's no surprise Frankie doesn't feel good about herself. Frankie had to remind everyone how she takes cares of them in "Setting a president".

You never heard an IF show any appreciation towards her work prior to that. No one argues over the fact Frankie loves her job, but I think she does need a day off now or then and get some chances to be more open and accepting of herself in the real world. Or better yet, how about a simple THANK YOU?

Seriously, I simple "thanks" can go a looooooong way, especially considering the fact that Frankie does everything whether Mr. Herriman or Madame Foster are there or not. They could both be on a plane trip to the other side of the planet and things wouldn't be the least bit different far as Frankie is concerned.

Yeah. I realize she's not geeky. I thought it was a bit off-topic. I just hate it when shows and movies support the idea of someone who's just fine as they are now can only get what they want if they change to suit somenone else's needs.

I'm not talking about compromise like most relationships require, I'm talking major personality overhaul.

Well, how many girls would go on a fancy date in a worn-out green sweater they wear every other day of their lives (and, furthermore, scrub floors in)? Just sayin'. I think that's pretty normal behavior.

Well determines what a "fancy" date is. I doubt Dylan took her to super pricey restaurants every date, might have been somewhere as simple as the movies or something. I'm referring to the pink dress of course.

Voxxyn · 04-02-2007, 01:41 PM

Errr, wasn't the night with the pink dress an ordinary night out with Kathy and the other friends? I thought she merely got acquainted with Dylan(jackass

) at that time, and that the following night(little black dress) was the actual date... unless I missed something...

Medikor · 04-02-2007, 01:50 PM

And Dylan really didan't seem to wear anything more than what looked to be casual cloathing. That probobly made Frankie feel a little awkward.

CG · 04-02-2007, 03:58 PM

What to wear on a date is sometimes the most difficult thing to work out. Depends on where you're going, what you'll be doing, that sort of thing. She probably knew beforehand that it was a resturant since I doubt I'd wear a little black dress like that (if I could...) to just the movies and a drive thru.

But yeah, the black skirt and pink top were the combo for the night out with the friend Kathy, where she obviously cuaght the eye of Dylan since she looked incredibly spunky for a night out on the town.

Gottay say Dylan was a quick mover. Met her one night, fancy resturant the next. Even if he dressed wrong. But then again he probably had the worst intentions in mind.

Invader Bloo · 04-03-2007, 02:51 PM

The thing is from what I understand is Frankie CAN get men, but they are usually jerks (Dylan) or annoying (Douglas,Adam). She can't find the man of her dreams.

P.S. Marshmallow I'd watch your back from now on, I know there are Wilt fangirls who wouldn't feel akward about bringing Wilt to the prom & probably might of been offeneded by that. You know how we would get on someone's case if something about FRankie was said. So watch out!

Mr. Marshmallow · 04-03-2007, 02:56 PM

Except I'm not the one who said it, FRANKIE did. Those were Frankie's own words, and anyone who's bought the set and listened to the commentary will be hear it the exact same way. I'm not doubting the legion of Wilt fangirls would like to have him at her prom, but Frankie is NOT one of them.

Frankie wanted a boyfriend or some sort of human guy friend. To her, bringing an imaginary friend to a party was probably just like if she brought a cousin or something. There's nothing wrong with Wilt nor do I have any beef or problems with him. I'm just saying, slip on Frankie's shoes for a day.

See it from the way she saw it and understand why she felt that way.
