Synopsis[]
A new fashion designer, Regine Cesaire, comes to town and starts working with Jem and The Holograms. When they initially reject her designs, her frustration turns her to the glamour of The Stingers.

Goofs[]
- There is a possible episode goof since Regine Cesaire was introduced in this episode but was mentioned in The Day the Music Died a few episodes before. However, the production codes for both episode were released in the correct chronological order (The Day the Music Died: 5205-61, Straight from the Heart: 5205-63).
- When Countess Du Voisin is talking about who Regine is, Shana starts looking around her; her expression denotes she's found the person she was looking for, winks an eye and smiles at him/her. However, no one is introduced at all and in the next shot, she acts as if nothing had happened.
- It could be speculated that a scene where another character was introduced, was removed from the final cut; someone important to Shana, like Anthony.
- Right before the music video for "It Depends On The Mood I'm In", Kimber is wearing her "Set Your Sails" outfit, but as soon as the song starts, she is wearing her purple suit.
- When Countess Du Voisin's butler brings an invitation for Regine on a tray and she picks it up, a copy of the invitation remains on the tray and another in Regine's hands. Additionally, the hair behind her can be seen through the tray and her body.
Trivia[]
- At Danielle Du Voisin's mansion, when Regine sets for The Stingers' soirée (party), the Countess asks her where she's going, to which Regine replies "All work and no play makes Regine a dull girl"; this is a reference to "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", a popular proverb originating from the 17th century which means that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and boring.
- This phrase is perhaps mostly known in modern times by its use in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror drama film The Shining (an adaptation from the eponymous novel by Stephen King), where the line was typed repeatedly on paper by the protagonist-turn-antagonist Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson).
