Sure, I'm up for some Animorphs fanart. *will get on that at work tomorrow*
My, being a Floridian, I always thought of Tampa, FL as being their city. Ocean, but there's no serious cliffs though, and no mountains down here, but Florida does have plain/prairie land. I always felt like it had the same major buildings, with a mall, convention center, major highway going through, major navy/air force base, international airport, the Hillsborough River, seaport, is a major concert stop with major league teams, lots of forestry areas, conservations, and farmland when you get out, as well as Bush Gardens, which is full of Roller coaster rides and serious animal research habitats. And then Sea World isn't too far away. And we also have plenty of those awful roadside attractions with gators and crap. Well, not so bad anymore with PETA on the net now.
That, and after reading animorphs, I for the longest time expected slugs to come out of the water spout because I thought the yeerk pool was in the Florida Aquifer.
And oh yeah... Clear Water, home of the Scientology, is considered a part of Tampa. If anyone is a Scientologist , please don't take offense. Just when I read Animorphs, I sort of thought of the sharing as something like it with how they recruit people and stuff.

Anyway, I never really thought there was a specific city out there she based it on that really had all those land masses, and geographic details. It seemed to me sometimes she'd just pick whatever setting and put it nearby for writing convenience.
If you're still looking for girl fashion ideas of the late 90s look up stuff like Spice Girls, early Britney Spears, No Doubt, etc.
