Ah. Like the bit in The Breakfast Club where they did the scary makeover of banality?
Fay, this is why you are so fabulous. I loved so much of The Breakfast Club, but could never fathom why anyone would actually prefer to look like that.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Heh. Yeah, I saw that movie for the first time last year and was confused because she looked better before she was made up.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Are we talking about what's her name in The Breakfast Club? Scary dandruff is art chick? Damn, I forget her name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
being someone who has a few different personalities in the clothes closet , it didn't ping me.
I don't think movie characters get to have that same flexibility, though. Wardrobe is part of the shorthand of character. Sandy totally sold out for Danny, for instance. I don't care what was left in her closet.

I agree, ita. But when Andi went over to Iona's, it's not like she had cleaned her closet out. That whole scene between them was in her closet (wasn't it?) and you could still see her eccentric stuff hanging up, as opposed to in trash bags. Whereas with Sandy, we didn't see her closet. Plus, Sandy had changed personalities AND clothes. I only ever got that Iona changed clothes.

That's my favorite moment in the whole damn movie.

Huh. I never thought of it that way. It always struck me as part of the endless "You'd be so pretty if you didn't dress like that/dye your hair funny colors/wear strange eye makeup/be just like everyone else" messages I see everywhere. (I know, I know, my issues.) But it never occurred to me to look at it as just trying on a different costume for the date. Though I could have *sworn* there was a line that implied Iona was changing not just her style, but who she was, for the yuppie date.

I dunno Aimee. In a lot of 80s movies, clothing was used to demonstrate character, especially a change in character. Like Working Girl. It was all haircuts and designer suits as self-empowerment.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

It was a puzzlement.

I can see that as an 80's movie thing. I guess I have the luxury of not having seen the movies when they were released, I saw them when I was in my twenties, when I already possesed several personalities in my closet, so I just attributed it to that.
