Thinking about Gail Holloway and Katherine Olson.
How Gail raised her daughter that love is a performance you can never stop giving, even when your body almost breaks from it.
How Katherine raised her daughter that love is a swamp that sucks you down and holds you stagnant in one place forever.
How Joan's arc ended with the realisation that she is enough; the love quest was leeching her dry, but she can stand on her own.
How Peggy's arc ended with her discovery that she can be both ambitious and loved, and the right love will propel her forward.
How their friendship and their enmity both bleed from the same mother wound.

Having a favourite tv style icon is easy. Finding out where they get their clothes from - is even more complicated. The success behind some of our favourite tv character closets is down to costume designers. Costume designers often dress actors in high fashion - especially if the character is rich or has wealthy parents.
