(image courtesy of le love)when i was waxing philosophical about my junior prom rejection the other day, i started thinking about the movie 'pretty in pink'--i ADORED this film. partly because i wanted to be molly ringwald and rock the pink vw karmann ghia whilst wearing ultra-cool thrift store clothing that really came from contempo casuals. partly because i wanted a duckie for a bff while still keeping a blaine on the line to be my boyfriend/arm candy. and partly because i always thought my prom fiasco should have turned out like andie's. (it SO didn't. the only company i had that night was a 4 ounce bottle of robitussin. YIKES.)
it also got me thinking about one of my favorite scenes in the movie. which looks super low tech these days. but you still get the full effect:
P.S.--PRETTY IN PINK was one of the first records (yes. you read that right. i'm frickin' ancient.) that i bought with my pizza hut waitress job $$. and i STILL HAVE IT.

Hey Mindi-
I am as friggin' old as you are, and I also LOVED pretty in pink (oooh the dress) that album was my first as well, and yes- I still have it! My girls 11 and 8 will listen to it someday! =)
I loved all those teen angst movies! That and the music were the best things about the 80's!
I do not remember that scene at all. I guess I haven't seen that movie in a long time. I need to watch it. Has Katie seen it yet?
Blaine isn't a name. It is a household appliance.
Can I admire you later?
Killing me. Her facial expressions are so over the top, I love it. And I love the 80's version of IM.
My sister and I still dance like Molly Ringwald...you know the move she does in Breakfast Club? Last summer I sold my VHS collection or should I say my Molly Ringwald collection. :)
Love Her!
Impressive.
and I agree.
I ♥ that movie/music.
~~~~~Love sigh~~~~~~.....MAGIC. Pure magic.
Loved that movie. Love Molly Ringwald!
I may have to go revisit it now.
thanks!
I just wanted to be Molly Ringwald in whatever move she was in. I loved her. And my heart always broke for Duckie. I'd have gone for him in a heart beat.
