Top Five Reasons I Love Skins


5. Because the soundtrack totally and completely fucking owns. They always have the best bands on there; who can forget the Archie Bronson Outfit singing Dart for my Sweetheart in Michelle's series 1 episode? Or MGMT's Time To Pretend playing as Cassie runs through New York in series 2? And then the cast's rendition of Wild World in the finale was the highlight of the whole thing. I couldn't wait to download the album!


4. Because the whole Michelle/ Tony/ Abi thing was kind of riveting. It was hilarious to laugh at Abi's pronounciation ('This is Tony and his frands!') and her whole hatred of Michelle ('I'll kill you, you flat-chested cock sucking horse fucker!') I loved how Michelle was oblivious until it was too obvious for anything else, and then in season 2 things all turned around and Abi stole Tony! That's entertainment.


3. I love Chris. Period. He's the funniest person in the world, ever, and I would kill, maim and torture to actually meet him. And is it just me or is Joe Dempsie somehow quite hot? His thing for Angie? Absolutely quality viewing. His jacket with the flags on it? I WANT ONE RIGHT NOW. And his constant amusing drug highs are freaking hilarious. It makes me actually want to pop pills and join him! Ha. You don't understand how much I cried when he died. How could they do that to him?!?!?!


2. And I love Cassie. She's quirky, and gorgeous, and smart; and oh yeah, a complete and total fucking headcase. The first impression you get of her, running into Abigails hosue to arrange all the food in perfect geometric order, sets you up for a beautiful disaster. In hear head everything's skewed- and she has amazing dress sense, although I'd never wear any of her colour/pattern combos. Go Cassie!


1. The best thing about Skins is obviously the parties. Seriously, who has parties like these and where can I make friends with them? I mean, I've been to plenty of parties in my time, but none so wild, so fun, and so littered with fit guys. Well, Skins party-having people, can you PLEASE, PLEASE move to Peterborough and jazz it up a bit? Thank you.
