watching "A Summer Place", 1959
sandra dee, troy donahue, and a whole lot of drama... and a brilliant theme song by percy faith

even your smile is crooked

Hold Your Man was the first Jean Harlow film I had ever seen and it's always been one of my favorites.

bringing up baby

Watching: Cet amour-là

dangerous liasons

so vicious, wicked, and sad.

lovers of the arctic circle

blue valentine

i'm gonna have to see this.

the last of sheila

the girl from paris

it was a gloomy, rainy day today so i decided to stay in bed a little bit longer to watch this...

Watching: Valley Girl

She's cool. He's hot. She's from the Valley. He's not.

I was feeling a little nostalgic so I spent Saturday night watching Valley Girl- so classic. 1983. Deborah Foreman and Nicolas Cage. 

"That chick Julie, she's truly dazzling"

I love this blouse, worn with high waisted jeans... and her hair! Perfection. 

Anyone else think she looks like Rachel Zoe?

This makes me sad that I was not a teenager in the 80's. 

"He's the most awesome dude ever"

Every 80's slumber party requires girls dancing around in their underwear. Am I the only one who has never done this? By the way, I really want that zebra print tank/ undie set. 

Prada anyone? 

This actually reminds me of my prom dress. I wore vintage. I can't believe I unknowingly referenced Valley Girl. 

In case you were wondering, Deborah Foreman is now a yoga and pilates instructor.

cry-baby!

"He's a doll. He's a dreamboat. He's a delinquent."

i love that who what wear daily did a post on cry-baby- one of my favorite john waters films (along with hairspray, that is).

watching: from russia with love

watching: petulia

i recorded "petulia" the other day during the julie christie marathon on TCM. to be honest, i didn't really like the movie, maybe i just wasn't in the mood, but i couldn't stop watching it for the style and interiors alone. 

petulia

1968, directed by richard lester

starring: julie christie, richard chamberlain, george c. scott

Watching: Little Darlings

The ultimate summer camp movie... for girls. It's simple really- two 15 year old girls from opposite sides of the tracks come together at summer camp and end up competing to see who can lose their virginity first. It's between rich girl, "Ferris Whitney" (Tatum O'Neal) and streetwise, "Angel Bright" (Kristy McNichol).

Ferris- the romantic rich girl. Love her perfect "rich girl" clothes and her side swept hair.

"Cinder" - the mean girl and instigator of the bet . She's always perfectly made up with purple eyeshadow, red lipstick and high heels.

The girls spying on the boys across the lake- skinny-dipping. Of course there would be a boys camp across the lake. It wouldn't be a proper summer camp otherwise.

Matt Dillon as "Randy"- so young, so cute.

I want this "Camp Tomahawk" shirt.

Notice Cynthia Nixon (aka, Miranda Hobbes of Sex & the City) to the left. She plays a little flower child named "Sunshine." Personally, I just love the hairstyle on Cinder...  how do you even do that?

I think Matt Dillon might be prettier than Kristy McNichol. He has the best hair.

Now I wonder what I missed out on by not going to summer camp...
