Trivia

add »
When Kim is standing by the open window, her hair is moving in the opposite direction the wind is blowing. (edit)
When Drakken and Shego see Kim in the samurai outfit her brothers made, Shego says "Where are the fashion police when you need them?". In Kim Possible, there are actual Fashion Police as seen in Fashion Victim. (edit)
When Kim and Ron visit the Fashionistas in jail, Kim mentions that she and Ron put them in jail, but in Fashion Victim, Ron was trapped in a crate while Kim and Monique did battle with the Fashionistas. (edit)
When Shego said Kim wore the same outfit season after season after season, she was refering to the previous three seasons of the show, and in turn breaking the fourth wall. (edit)
This episode marks the last appearance of Kim's original mission outfit that had previously been used for all of Kim's missions.

Allusions

add »
Kim's Astronaut Suit:

Kim's Astronaut suit that her dad gives her looks similar to Danny's jumpsuit in an episode of Danny Phantom, also provided by his dad. (edit)
Baretta:

In the closing tag, Ron tells the Fashionistas, "If you can't do the crime, don't do the time or something I like that." He meant "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime", a line of a song in the old show called Baretta. (edit)
Gundam/Power Rangers/Transformers:

One of Kim's potential new outfits, the one supplied by the tweebs, is a reference to Gundam, a long running Japanese Anime series featuring giant robots, or mecha. The series, produced by Sunrise, inc., is actually made up of several series, including Gundam Wing and Mobile Suit Gundam. The name "Gundam" is thought to have derived from a variety of sources, but the most agreed-upon is that people needed to conform to a single name for giant robots in the 1970s. Gundams are piloted by humans, and vary in size.

The suit is also a reference to Power Rangers, in which the characters would summon giant robots, known as Zords, to defeat their enemies (this happened in pretty much every episode as the show practically invented plot-recycling). The series, like Gundam, began in Japan with the Super Sentai franchise.

A third reference is to Transformers, which has seen multiple iterations over the years, including the Beast Wars TV series. It started with a line of toys from Hasbro, which featured toys that could transform from everyday vehicles into imposing mechs. Unlike Gundam and Power Rangers, however, Transformers originated in the U.S. (edit)
Cindy Crawford:

When Kim is trying out potential new outfits, one of them involves a blonde wig, a purse, and a mole, and is meant to make her look like a fashion diva. The mole is a reference to Fashion legend Cindy Crawford, who became famous by embracing what other people would have considered a flaw: a mole on her face. (edit)
Star Trek: The Original Series:

While talking about repairing Kim's mission outfit Mrs. Dr. Possible says "I'm a brain surgeon, not a miracle worker" in homage to Dr. McCoy's famous line "Damn it, Jim! I'm a doctor, not a [fill in the blank]". Of course, she left off the "Damn it, Jim!" part. (edit)
