Now Available: New Degrassi Merchandise!

Those of you who love collecting Degrassi merchandise will be pleased to hear that Degrassi’s online store has added a bunch of new items recently! This store was definitely in need of an upgrade, so we couldn’t be more thrilled. Now you can purchase clothing and jewelry such as Eli’s necklace (seen above), the Degrassi drama t-shirt, the panthers t-shirts, plus some old favourites like the Degrassi Junior High and Studz tee’s. All of these items are reasonably priced (in the $20-$30 range), and can be shipped to the US or Canada. Keep checking back, because we’re told that more items will be added throughout the summer. Happy shopping!

TeenNick Interview with Jajube Mandiela

TeenNick posted a new interview with Jajube, and it’s all about one of my favourite subjects – hair! Jajube talks about her changing hair styles since being on Degrassi. Here is an excerpt:

People aren’t used to seeing unprocessed hair… so then it becomes ‘not the norm.’
Exactly. Which makes me so sad! Because actually, when I was considering cutting my hair, I was spending a lot of time watching TV and looking at different ads, because I need to know as an actor what I can do with my hair. And I wanted to see if anyone already has natural hair — especially short hair. And I was so disappointed! Not only actors but like singers, dancers, everyone processes their hair — even if it was short it was still processed.

Lauren Collins talks style and shopping

The Toronto Star talked to Lauren Collins recently about her shopping habits as well as the upcoming Degrassi Goes Hollywood movie. Lauren discussed some of her favourite Toronto shops such as Robber at 863 Queen St. W. and Vintage 69 at 1100 Queen St. W. She named the Olson twins as her style icons and said that she loves going through her grandmother’s closet.

On the Degrassi Goes Hollywood movie, Lauren said:

“The movie ends with Paige in a pretty dark place – I hope she can get out of that funk. Relationships that have bloomed for nine years are threatened. I can’t believe I’ve been on the show for nine years.”
