Good morning Hank, it's Tuesday. Today we will be playing Dress to Impress with my daughter Alice. This is her favourite video game. Alice, tell me the conceit of Dress to Impress.

Alice: You dress up

John: Yeah. To impress?

Alice: Yes.

John: Your fellow voters

Alice: Yeah. To--and then you, people like, uh, vote you and then whoever gets the most stars wins.

John: Yeah.

Alice: And when you're walking down the runway you usually do, like, a pose like this.

John: Show me a cool pose...oh that's good...oh yeah, oh yeah. What's the theme?

Both: Mean girl.

Alice: What if we're Regina George?

John: Okay, do it. Can you make yourself Regina George?

Alice: Probably

John: All right, we're Regina George-ing it. 

Alice: Yeah.

John: So that is, that is the main character from Mean Girls? The main Mean Girl. The titular Mean Girl.

Alice: Yeah.

John:: Okay. 

Alice: I thought, like um...

John: I don't remember what Regina George's hair looks like, at all

Alice: I don't--I--it's like, simple

John: Okay.

Alice: Kind of like, maybe that.

John: Yeah. But blonder.

Alice: Oh yeah

John: Okay, cool.

Alice: I remember what Regina George looks like in both. 

John: Both, the movie and the broadway play?

Alice: Yeah. And the musical.

John: Great musical. We saw it on the West End, in London.

Alice: We did? Oh yeah, we did!

John: Yes!

Alice: I forgot about that.

John: Alright, we only have five minutes here, don't spend too much time on the eyes, Alice. 

Alice: Okay

John: I'm starting to panic.

Alice: Rolling their eyes, maybe?

John: Yeah. Would she roll her eyes?

Alice: Definitely.

John: Those are very blue, goodness. Okay, brown is better, I agree. They look kind of like-- that looks like when mom rolls her eyes at me. Wow, she looks really good. So, is the point of this game to try to like, experiment with fashion and everything without having to buy a ton of makeup or like, buy a ton of clothes?

Alice: What?!

John: We're making a Youtube video! It's gonna be a huge hit!
