First Ladies and Road Trips


Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was born on this day in 1929. A somewhat minor reference to her was made in canon, when Jane refers to Quinn in her scarf-and-sunglasses disguise as "Quinnie O." This alluded to "Jackie O's" frequent mode of dress after her marriage to Aristotle Onassis.

TAG has pointed out before how the outfit Stacy is wearing in her alter ego is the same one the former First Lady was wearing when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, which is...odd.

Today is also the day that the episode "Speedtrapped" first aired in 1999. The Spiral did some time in the joint as "criminales," Quinn revealed her hidden talent at driving, and Daria developed a taste for country music. I'm always amused by that fake bump right after Daria suspects Travis of stealing their money, but then again I'm usually easily amused anyway.

Can't let this one be forgotten, Today is National Lasagna Day! Do I really need to say why I am even mention this on a Daria Fandom page?

How odd--I was saving that one for tomorrow because my source said it was the 29th, but a Google search turns up results for either day. Two-day holiday, perhaps? :)
