In the posted photo, with Vicki wearing the black and gold outfi, I'm turned away and trying very hard not to laugh, because when It was required that Vicki's character be angry and confrontational, it was so far from Vicki's OWN character, that I couldn't help but crack up. I simply loved this girl, and all her facets!
