We Are The Hell Cats Nobody Likes

I watched She-Devils on Wheels on Friday, so I spent a good part of the weekend bitchfacing and acting like I was a Man Eater while wearing a beehive and my biker-y boots.


 SORRY FOR THE POOR QUALITY! It was dark and I was outside. BUT, I did a half up/half down beehive and I think it was the greatest I'VE EVER DONE! It was perfectly round and amazing and GAH I'M SO PROUD!!! <3



Hair bow: Hottopic (don't judge) 
Bag: thrifted
Shirt: Etsy
Sweater: thrifted
Pants: Gloria Vanderbilt
Boots: thrifted

All the pictures were really weird, 'cause it was night and I had taken my boots off when my brother took a picture of the full outfit and then I was like "WAIT NOW THE OUTFIT IS RUINED AHHHH."
Also, I never wear those pants, because they're like two years old and really short/tight, but now they may be a permanent wardrobe staple!  

My LOVE button is vintage from the grandma's personal buttons (yessss), my Baltimore button is from Parsnip & Pear on Etsy, and my heart one/vintage girl's face is from Boo Radley's.

I'm also now making a zine called Man Eaters, which is pretty much gonna be an ode to She-Devils, best friends, and girl-gangy stuff (COMPLETE WITH A "WHICH GIRL GANG ARE YOU?" QUIZ. YEP I'M EXCITED.)

My whole inspiration was the Man Eaters, specifically Queen, and her hair/color coordinated outfits! UGH, QUEEN, CAN I BE YOU?! (Minus the murder and stuff.) Anyways, I think I may do a WHOLE POST on the ~*perfect*~ fashion in that movie, because it is now ONE OF MY FAVES! You should totally watch it if you haven't seen it, because it made my heart go BOOM BOOM with all the fashion/campiness/hair and stuff. I totally want my own girl gang, but we wouldn't chop off heads and or anything.










Plus this song! UGH I LOVE YOU, MAN EATERS.


So, I've been trying to blog a bunch, but trying to squeeze blogging and homework and daily life and ~TEENAGE EMOTIONS~ into daily life is kind of like trying to squeeze a hog into a pickle barrel! (ahahahahahaha) (wait wat)
I'm also a bit out of ideas! I've been working on some new stuff, but it's hard to develop everything. Maybe I should start doing movie reviews? DIYs? Favorite blogs? DEEP THOUGHTS? Tell me, dear reader, what I SHOULD DO. You are the voice of the people!

Chrissy, Truth or Dare?

 Soooo, I recently watched Now and Then (1995) for the first time EVER.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.
IT WAS SO FANTASTIC AND FUNNY AND HAD PERFECT STYLE AND FRIENDS AND SUBURBIA AND SEANCES AND ADVENTURE 'n' everything that makes a movie GOOD.
How did I spend all 14 years of my life without ever watching this movie?! WHAT ELSE IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT ON? Dude, stuff like this just makes you WONDER.

Anyways, it basically centers around four really old friends (Melanie Griffiths, Demi Moore, Rosie O'Donnell, Rita Wilson) who are reuniting after several years of being apart and after their lives have all taken different directions.
The summer of 1970 is like, when everything CHANGED for them, so Sam (played by Demi Moore) tells us about that MAGICAL summer where they kissed boys, tested their friendship, held seances and ~found themselves~ and everything. It's all told in flashbacky retrospect, with younger actress playing the kiddy versions of their older selves.

My favorite kind of movies are movies that are made in the '90s/'80s and are all about the '50s/'60s/'70s. They're all nostalgic and pretty, and the '80s and '60s are two of my favorite decades, SO, CHELLO, IT'S LIKE A MIXING OF BOTH? Hell yes, I'm in. AND THIS MOVIE HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THOSE. So, I think it might have been made for me?

 The younger actors (Thora Birch, Christina Ricci, Ashleigh Ashton Moore, Gaby Hoffman) are seriously talented. The '90s/'80s had a never-ending supply of really talented kid actors, most of which are now not famous/addicted to something/dead, which is so sad, BECAUSE I LOVE THEM ALL. The older actors in the movie feel a bit stiff and weird and really aren't as good, but IT'S STILL A PERFECT MOVIE.

And the style is that movie is like, the best. Seriously.

 
 AHH! The scene where they go swimming is, like, radical. It's all summery and fun and UGH THEIR CLOTHES I'M CRYING.

I will KILL someone for Chrissy's raincoat. Look at it! Clear plastic with pink detailing! WAS THERE ANYTHING EVER MADE THAT WAS MORE PERFECT?!

   



 Other perfect thing about this movie: THE ROOMS! Look at Roberta's curtains! Teeny's framed pictures of Jayne, Audrey, and Marilyn! The pink walls! The clock! Chrissy's pinkness! The general aesthetic! I'm dyyyying over here from all the ~vibes~.

When I was 10 or 11, I was Chrissy. Minus the fact I wasn't so totally naive, she is the perfect embodiment of my past, 10-year-old self.
Plus, look at her hair/clothes. This girl rocks. ILY, CHRISSY.


This scene is fantastic. Now I just wanna ride around with my girl gang and sing "Knock Three Times"! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK? Also, umm this movie has one of the best soundtracks ever. Because of this scene, I am now obsessed with "Sugar Sugar" and "Knock Three Times" and big '70s hits.

 Reason #1929994894 to love Now and ThenJaneane Garofalo. If you read my blog a lot (or maybe at all), you probably know I'm OBSESSED with Vickie Miner (Janean Garofalo's character) from Reality Bites. So, yeah, I died when I saw she in this! Plus, HER CLOTHES/HAIR/MAKE-UP! PERFECT, JANEANE! Now my new life goal is to open some fortune telling shack place, name myself Wiladine, become the town weirdo, and call everyone "boys". Totally gonna be me at 20.






This is basically my whole Polyvore take on the whole deal, complete with Archies/Tony Orlando records, a vintage Cosmo and ~flower power~ patches! Yay!

So, loves, Now and Then is amazing. Incredible. DA BEST. WATCH IT, NOW if you want to have a fun time with great acting and pretty clothes and fantastic music

"...And there's everyone at my funeral wearing halter tops and..."

This summer has been crazy amazing, and there is soooo much to write about, so I'll take it post by post, y'all.
First, though...
I SAW Reality Bites.
OH MY GOD.
Yahhhh, it's kind of like one of the best movies ever. I love the feeling, the fashion, the '90s-ness, Lelaina, Troy, Sammy, VICIKIE!
Can we just ogle at the cast? Ethan Hawke, Winona Ryder, I ALMOST PEED MYSELF.
And, OHEMGEE, VICKIE!
I want to be Vickie. SHE IS SO DANG COOL. Seriously, where did she learn to be that cool? (the script writers, I know).
She is influencing my style in EEVVVVEERRYY way, and so everything she wears is making my birthday list.
AND SHE LOVE'S THE '70s.
AND SHE LOVES "My Sharona".

I will be getting those tights. And those shoes. And those glasses. And those...

Now I love Squeeze.

I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE SHE WEARS THIS DRESS. OHEMGEEEEEEEEE, HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS???

Where do you find this poster?
BEST SCENE EVA.



AHAHAHA, YOU GUYS SO FUNNY

LUNCHBOX, YEAH.

DANCEEEEEEE!
OH MY GOD, WHAT?

AND THEY PLAY "My Sharona".
And dance to it in a convenience store.
And I want this to be my life.

Reason #42274 to love that song.
Reason #189283840 to love that movie.

Now I've posted so many pictures of Vickie that I'm going to overdose.

Psychedelic Daisy

P.S. While searching the WORLD WIDE WEB for Vickie-ness, I found a TON of pictures of one of those Real Housewives of Nowhereland people.
DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS WRONG?

P.S.S.  I could write an entire book on Lelaina's clothes, as well, but that would take me another 7 hours, so...

P.S.S.S. Here is a picture to make your day life better.


P.S.S.S.S. VICKIE I LOVE YOU.
