Smurfette is the only adult female smurf. She was created by Gargamel as a purple Smurf with dark hair in order to lure the other smurfs, but her innate smurfiness shined through and she became accepted into the smurfy society. She is also intelligent, using her "girliness" to her advantage.

- you wore pumps or dress shoes with socks
- you had jellies (i actually had a pair that laced)
- you "tight rolled" your jeans

You had rainbow brite curtains, bedspread and complete video collection. (Or at least I did) And don't forget about Shera!!

Couldn't figure out how to get the rainbow brite pic on here.
