Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg


Sixties style!! Oh Jane, what a beauty


The high waists, boots, shidt dresses, floppy hair with big fringes, and of course, the basket! A look many have tried to replicate and failed (myself included)


Above pic is a favourite



Suspenders need to be worn by more people! Sussy-penders as I like to call them :)


What a gown, what a couple!

But then I found this: and I want to poke my eyeballs out, was this an 80's phase? 
Dear god please someone say it's so, it can be excused that way as the 80's couldn't have known the pain it would inflict on fashion everywhere.

Oh no!! I got to keep on moving


Best ever! 
No one dances around in neon green bathers and silver accessories anymore

Mile high madness with (the one and only) Richard S(l)immons



So Richard Simmons did an air safety ad for Air New Zealand and THIS is the brilliant result, I only found this last week and I'm slightly obsessed with it?! 

I love you Richard

The Witches of Eastwick


So I watched The Witches of Eastwick, something i don't recommend if you've recently watched The Shining- we'll get to that in a minute


Over the top-ly super star cast, hilarious Susan Sarandon hair, good look for Cher, but not everyone can pull it off


This was easily the best part of the film, I want to fling myself into chandeliers after gliding through the air with my new ability to fly, and i would definitely hang out on an inflatable zebra with a giant silver bowl of cherries in my lap in my best ballgown attire also, why the hell not


Ballroom full of balloons was pretty wicked


So yeah, whilst there are open jokes about Jack Nicholson not being handsome, the only way for it to be believable at all that he could seduce 3 such beautiful women COULD ONLY BE that he is the devil incarnate!
 I know it looks like I'm missing the point, but once you've seen good old Jack frozen in the Shining, you CANNOT unsee that!


All work and no play make Jack a dull boy

Worth viewing if only to perve on Michelle Pfeiffer, and for Cher's cute yellow hair clips, Nicholson is pretty funny in it, and the absolutely best hands down bit for me was Veronica Cartwright's performance, best fundy whackjob ever! She played young Cathy in The Birds!

Clueless, Heathers, Pretty in Pink


Brilliantly ridiculous (post on the hats within coming soon!)


I love Winona Ryder. She was only like 16 when she did this film! heavy! I don't know why but Christian Slater has always scared the crap out of me, there's something about him


Whilst I don't like being a hater, people who post about 'how annoying stuff is' are more annoying than the content within their post (like people who talk non stop about their religious beliefs or workout programs, which has become semi-religious to some) suffice to say Pretty in Pink, i think it's over rated, I'm sure that when it came out it was brilliant and ground breaking, but the hair and clothes without wanting to sound superficial- are unacceptable. 

It is my personal belief that the Eighties existed solely to show humanity to never dress that way ever again.

When James Spader's man-loafers are visible, something within me simultaneously laughs really hard AND cries


Please god make it stop
