To bring it back to the topic at hand, I pretty much recreated a modern version of Marylin's outfit in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The pink dress? Or something else?
Speaking of Audrey Hepburn and fashion, I naturally think of Funny Face.

Pink dress, yes. I know Funny Face is on "the list" but I haven't seen it and don't feel like I could write about it in the post-though I don't know why I'm being so hard on myself, because without me, D would have to do it and I don't think he's given half as much thought to fashion in movies as I have.

Because books.
My weirdo fashion inspiration was the HBO movie Iron-Jawed Angels. I wanted a complete 1920s wardrobe immediately.

I loved the fashion in Heathers so much at the time that I went right out and bought blue tights (just like Veronica!).

Just got back from Jennifer's Body, thought it was interesting in a post-Buffy way. Dug up an interview with the director. They talk about quite a few things, the most surprising to me was that John Sayles worked on an unproduced Brother Termite script.

Jennifer's Body is going to be a cult favorite, I am pretty sure. Once it hit its stride, it totally sucked me in, and I think it will improve on rewatch.

Zoolander is one big fashion in-joke, down to Mila last-name-I-can't-spell (she played the evil henchwoman); her entire wardrobe in the movie was reproductions of Thierry Mugler couture designs.
I foget, did she actually wear the infamous motorcycle dress in that?

Sadly, no. That would have been a glorious moment.

Why the HELL aren't you people talking about Zombieland which was certainly worth the 89% approval rating it got on the Tomatometer? Which, being a zombie movie comedy is seriously uphill work, folks.
BTW do not DO NOT get spoiled for the special guest star who shows up halfway through. (I'm not even going to whitefont it here.) If somebody starts talkign about hte movie, make sure they know immediately you don't want to be spoiled. Don't go to IMDB, either. Actual violence to make spoilerers stop isn't entirely out of place.
