How to be a crazy, sometimes adorable, bitch

If you are not a Skins viewer, you can stop reading after this point. I found this on wikihow.com while I was searching the real name for the actress who plays Cassie on Skins. I found this interestingly funny and I'd like to point out a few ironies.

"How to Be Like Cassie from Skins

Have you ever wanted to be like Cassie, the all-loveable girl from the popular British drama Skins? Here is a comprehensive guide on how to achieve this.
Cassie is the most deranged character on the show...that is saying a lot considering how every character has some sort of major problem. Is it safe to say that she is all-loveable? In her defense though, she is the best looking.

Steps:

1. Look like Cassie. Some of her trademarks include long, wavy blonde hair, pale skin, and a big smile.

- To get Cassie's hair, you may want to dye it blonde. Use a curling iron or get a perm if your hair isn't naturally curly. Also, try different hairstyles. Small braids and/or cute hairclips are all very Cassie-esque. In one episode she even wears 40's style pincurls!
- To get skin like Cassie's you must have a good skincare regimen and take care of any acne or dryness. Also, wear sunscreen every day: yes, every day. You need to maintain that porcelain complexion!
- If you have nasty, brown teeth, you will not look like Cassie no matter what you do. Invest in some whitening kits and a good toothbrush.
sounds like the teeth is a mayja dealbreaker here!

2. As for makeup, don't go overboard!. Although Cassie occasionally wears pretty, natural eyeshadow or retro red lipstick, her look is generally very fresh. Mascara, powder/concealer (if needed) and chapstick are really all you should wear.

3. If you would like to to be skinny like Cassie, eat healthy and exercise. Do not develop an eating disorder (purging, not eating) to make yourself look like her. These ways of losing weight are extremely unhealthy and very dangerous.
If you REALLY want to be like Cassie develop an eating disorder ASAP.

4. Cassie has a very quirky, feminine, vintage sense of style. Look around charity shops for things that she might wear. Store such as Topshop and H&M are good too, but they will cost more. Some of Cassie's trademark looks include swingy skirts, t-bar flats, over-the-knee lurex socks, big round sunglasses, vintage-styled minidresses, and tee shirts with cute prints on them. You can also look on Polyvore for inspiration, there is a great group with outfits that people have made which are inspired by Cassie.

5. Cassie's personality is also one of her defining factors. Act dreamy and spacey, maybe even slightly ditsy, but do 'not' act stupid! Slip words like "Oh wow" and "lovely" into your speech when you are reacting to something, or trying to fix an awkward silence. SMILE A LOT. The actress who plays Cassie sometimes flares her eyes to make her seem more neurotic. People may think you're strange if you do this, so it's up to you.

6. If you want to truly be like Cassie, get a big, tight-knit group of friends from many different backgrounds. Call and text each other a lot, go to lots of parties together. Plus, if you have a thing for geeky boys, you may want to go right ahead and snag yourself a Sid.
There must be an Indian person in your tight knit group of friends

Warnings:

- Do not imitate certain aspects of Cassie's behavior. Binge drug-taking and overall promiscuity will not endear you to anyone.
- Again, DO NOT TRY TO GET AN EATING DISORDER TO BE MORE LIKE CASSIE."

Sounds like there are already a few Cassie's out there!
