Growing up I loved watching the Zenon movies. One because she was blonde, like me, and two because she lived in space and who wouldn’t wanna live in space? She also had rad clothes and cool lingo. She was every 10-year-old's role model.
She was so full of adventure. She didn’t understand what the word no meant. She was spunky and totally lunarious. Not to mention one of her best friends was a British rockstar. How cool is that?
She also made every child believe in aliens after she went to go help them when they had contacted her on her zap pad. But maybe I’m the only one who still believes…oh well.
Now after watching it again after a long time, I’ve realized how similar me and her are. I guess somehow, psychologically, I always had her in the back of my mind. She’s not afraid of anything. She’s always up for an adventure, whether it’s on Earth or in the galaxy somewhere. She pushes people out of their comfort zone in order to do what she wants to do. And so much more. She’s me.
She’s the coolest teenager I’ve ever known.
It’s funny re-watching it though too because you catch on to some references you didn’t catch when you were younger. Like in the first movie her teacher talks about a “President Chelsea Clinton” and they also had to write a paper about the “2006 Stock Market Crash.”
The only thing she was missing was a little glitter on her face like Ke$ha. Then she totally would be the perfect hero.
