OK, so at the end of Pretty in Pink, Molly Ringwald shows up at her prom and everybody goes, "Oh, look at her, she's so stylish and stunning, I wish we hadn't assumed she was trash just because she lives in a cardboard bungalow and there's rusty metal in her garden," and we - the audience - well up because we know she made her dress out of curtains and cellotape and reconstructed sixties prom dresses, and is therefore much classier and more of a lady than Andrew McCarthy, and, what's more, way ahead of her time because the whole thing is, like, so Imitation of Christ, and all is well and rosy, except... it's a fucking hideous dress. Even by the standards of the eighties, it's vile. So really the lesson is - yes, poor people do wear horrible clothes, and when they try to get clever and run up their own, the results are revolting. And what, I ask you, is 'feel good' about that? I think Justin was right, Britney should remake it, and they should put her in genuine Imitation of Christ. Pronto.

I was going to prove my point by posting a picture of the awful dress, but there aren't pictures of it on the internet. Anywhere. Not even on the Pretty in Pink fansite. It has been airbrushed from history. Which I suppose does prove my point. God, it was hideous.

it's a fucking hideous dress. Even by the standards of the eighties, it's vile It was Hideous Cool, and the point was the rich kids now know how to be cool. Cool, quite often is hideous. Never mind a remake, I want a DVD Director's Cut where she goes off with Ducky. |
