022609thatgirldiy.jpgThese stills from That Girl's pilot episode tell so much about Ann Marie's independence, interest in DIY, decor and style, and creating an apartment/home from scratch in 1960s New York City. We found these clips and some commentary on Mark Challen's blog for Intel, and felt the 1960s sentiment of his 2006 post was perfect inspiration for AT:DIY month in '09. Does anyone out there actually remember seeing the pilot episode?
