Ultimate City Girls IV

Denise Huxtable from The Cosby Show
Looking back at old episodes, everything and everyone looks dated, except for Denise. Her quirkiness set her apart then and now; kind of hippie, kind of preppy but also kind of tomboyish and sporty at times. She wore things like palazzo pants with a man's tuxedo shirt and a tailored jacket over it all. She knew how to layer clothes and add masculine elements while looking sexy and feminine. She is an 80s and 90's style icon...

Denise Huxtable Kendall: Mum, Dad. I need your help.
Clair Hanks Huxtable: What's up?
Denise Huxtable Kendall: Theo. He is acting weird and he is ruining my project.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Oh dear. How is he acting weird and ruining your project.
Denise Huxtable Kendall: He is trying to impress Susanne.
Clair Hanks Huxtable: What is he doing?
Denise Huxtable Kendall: He has changed his clothes, he cleans his room and now he is upstairs studying.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Well. We'll see if we could get her to move in.

Denise was definitely my favorite Huxtable character, outspoken, original, and smart. Her style was like no one else.
One of a kind Denise Huxtable (Lisa Bonet) strikes a pose.
"And who am I? An industrious young woman who wants to examine life without....pressure!" --Denise Huxtable

That last image and quote is how I always think of Denise. Loved that show and am enjoying the walk down sit-com memory lane.
