CALVIN KLEIN EUPHORIA Unlike U4EA, this perfume won’t get you in trouble with the cops. $70 for 3.4 oz, at macy’s. emily valentine was a hero to every unstable high school rocker looking for a boy scout boyfriend. IN THE EARLY days of Beverly Hills, 90210—before potsmoking Valerie Malone burst onto the scene, bad boy Dylan McKay required an intervention, and resident geek David Silver developed a meth addiction—it was punky transfer student Emily Valentine (Christine Elise) who caused trouble for the Peach Pit crew. Clad in leather jackets with a vest collection to rival Pete Doherty’s, Emily served as a boyish, rebellious counterpart to the other girls’ peppiness, mom jeans, and spandex mini-dresses. With a mop of feathery, short blonde hair—dark at the roots, of course—thick brows, and perfect skin, Emily soon had Brandon Walsh under her spell, inciting him and the gang to attend an underground rave. In order to find out the party’s top-secret location, they had to go to a mini-mart and exchange an egg with the clerk, Mission Impossible–style. Once at the rager, Emily slipped a fictitious party drug called U4EA into Brandon’s drink, causing him to abandon his car after the police showed up. In the following episode, “My Desperate Valentine,” Emily slashed her own tires in an unsuccessful bid for Brandon’s attention, stole his Minnesota Twins jersey, and was discovered to be behind threatening letters to the school newspaper. The show culminated with her dousing the crew’s homecoming float in gasoline and attempting to set it on fire as it sat outside the Walsh’s terracotta-roofed home. Emily ended up in a mental hospital and then disappeared for a couple of seasons, only to reappear a few more times down the road as a cleaned up brunette living in San Francisco. Seems like this bad girl went good. 7.
