Simple rules of becoming a Bionic Blonde

  1. BulletWearing a mood ring is highly recommended. If you don’t still have yours from the 70s, order one off the internet. It’s the only way to really know with 1000% accuracy how you feel about each episode, Jaime’s wardrobe, and life in general.

  2. BulletYou must swear that Jaime Sommers and Steve Austin are soul mates and are destined to be together forever and ever. (Or have a healthy tolerance for those of us who do.) Bionic Blondes generally hurl things at the TV whenever there’s a scene where Jaime flirts with any guy named Not!Steve.

  3. BulletYou must try to remind yourself that Jaime Sommers wasn’t real, she was just a fictional television character. (I know, take a moment if you need to. I’ll wait.) Therefore you must promise not to take any of this seriously. We are truly devoted fans of this series, but people, jumping off buildings in polyester pantsuits can be funnnnny. If this doesn’t make you chuckle, then you probably aren’t a Bionic Blonde and should pretend you don’t hang out here.


  4. BulletLive life in slow motion.

  5. BulletYes, you may use “bionic” as a verb. Jaime bionics things all the time.

  6. Bullet Above all else, you must *heart* Jaime Sommers.
