"Helga's Makeover" is an episode of Hey Arnold!.

Synopsis[]

When Rhonda decides to host a slumber party, she invites every girl in the neighborhood except for Helga because of her in feminine behavior, much to Helga's jealousy. She is angered even more when the boys taunt her for "not being a girl" and a passerby mistakes her for a male. Eavesdropping on the slumber party, Helga reaches her limit when she overhears Phoebe laughing at Rhonda's imitation of her and decides to become more feminine to join the party.

Helga visits the Corner Store to buy a fashion magazine, which shocks the other customers in the store. Back at home, she locks herself in the bathroom and begins to alter her appearance, applying makeup and nail polish to herself, restyling her hair and trimming her unibrow. Her changed appearances makes her mother Miriam faint, and she leaves for Rhonda's party.

Sid sees Helga on her way to the party and informs the other boys, who are eating at Omar's Falafel Hut, about Helga's new look. Intrigued, Harold rallies the boys into spying on the party, and they disguise themselves in camouflage. Meanwhile, Helga arrives at the party and impresses Rhonda and the other girls with her changed appearance. However, Pheobe is unnerved by Helga's change in behavior and tries to reason with her, but Helga refuses. When Rhonda is about to drop a scoopful of avocado facial cream into Helga's face to prevent aging, she changes her mind and reverts to her former self. She calls out the other girls for trying to prevent facial problems at their young age and trying to surpass the boys' height with their high-heeled shoes, but Rhonda explains girls do these activities at slumber parties, and ask her what’s more fun then what they are doing.

All of a sudden, the group hears noises coming from the window, and are horrified to find the boys, who are equally shocked, spying on them. The boys flee from the scene, but Harold is left behind and falls prey to the girls, who tie him up and dress him like a girl, much to his dismay. Helga and Phoebe agreed this how to throw a party.
