Shirley is the more naive of the two bottle-capping roomies. Shirley is cute, and has a constant male companion in Carmine, but won't let anything interfere with her staunch values. She is on the prissy side, and is very concerned about her reputation. Shirley will share her bed with no one but her Boo-Boo Kitty doll until she is married. The yin to Laverne's yang, in a lot of ways, Shirley is Laverne's conscience, keeping her best pal out of trouble by reminding her of how to be a "lady."
