'Objects In Space'


Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Are we talking about what's her name in The Breakfast Club? Scary dandruff is art chick?

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

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

being someone who has a few different personalities in the clothes closet , it didn't ping me.

think think think

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.

I loved so much of The Breakfast Club, but could never fathom why anyone would actually prefer to look like that.

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.

I do like that moment. It's up there with the Cap'n Crunch/pixie sticks/white bread sandwich.

My favorite is Brian telling what he did to get detention.

Or Claire giving Bender her diamond earring.

And now I think I need to go and find a DVD of Some Kind of Wonderful, because I love it almost as much as The Wicked Lady.

::reflects::

I suppose it may be no coincidence that both contain girls who dress as/like boys, although they're very different films.

If you like the gender benders, Just One of the Guys is great.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, yeah! And Clayton Rohner (the crush guy) is also in Modern Girls-which I loved.

I also loved Secret Admirer and Wild Thing.
