One Dress a Day Challenge
Anything Goes December
Josie and the Pussycats / Rachel Leigh Cook as Josie McCoy, Rosario Dawson as Valerie Brown, and Tara Reid as Melody Valentine
The last few dresses have been black, white, and grey, so let's have a splash of color! The band wears these outfits to a party thrown in their honor. I think Valerie's "mermaid scale" dress in shades of blue and purple is my favorite, but the others are cool too. Melody's seems like a riff on the 1960s styles of the comic's debut era, while Josie is channeling the 1970s with the plunging neckline and slit skirt.

band gets
Hog Heaven was a band of some renown that Archie theoretically could have booked in 1972. I do not think they would have been interested in playing to a high school dance, and I guess in this narrative they weren't. New form of an old band, The Shondells minus Tommy James. In terms of the charts they were "bubbling under", so there are bigger acts to get. Or maybe there aren't.
According to wikipedia, 1972 is the year Poison Ivy met the future members of The Cramps -- and they started playing in 1974. Here, "top group" has to be redefined anyways -- sure, they are a "top group" for their "cult following", and supposedly Big in Europe. But, I would say a big get nonetheless. I mean, the best my high school could do was a group made up of a few former students from a few years ago, who had a rejected demo tape to their name.
Midvale High gets the bigger names.
1965. We are a year off from the prefab band's debut. Surely the wheels are in motion.
Noted: Moose was a Smashing Pumpkins fan in 1970.
