Iowa City, 52240

So recently, I have rediscovered the joy that is Beverly Hills, 90210. I watch it as daily as possible on Soapne. I have a fun time seeing the great mid-nineties fashion, as well as calling Tori Spelling a butterface. Today there was a moving performance by a pre-"Iris" Goo Goo Dolls.

Because of this, I decided to do one of my favorite things, Wikipedia the show. The resulting character description for Kelly, played by Jennie Garth, is too good not to include on this blog. I've bulleted the list to make it more effective.
