Pretty In A Paisley Contempo Casuals Suit
Pastel Paisleys. A suit. My face reads, “Uh, He-ell no…this is going straight to the Salvation Army.” But my grandmother gave it to me for my birthday and so I had to try it on and humiliate myself in front of all Ladies of the family. She loved Contempo Casuals. And for a while I did too. (Don’t even get me started on the Glamour shots…yes, it happened to me). Now, looking at it, it’s not that bad…totally weird thing to wear to Junior High, but still…
I recently watched “Pretty In Pink” for the kajillionth time. (It’s prom season, folks.) I love that movie but watching it seems to yield proof of the steady devolvement of entertainment, especially concerning the portrayal of young women (or old for that matter…ok, all women).
In the 80’s girls in movies were celebrated for their unique personality or style. Molly Ringwald has not the slightest bit of sex appeal. She’s pretty, she’s smart, she has sparkle and an amazing style. SHE’S LIKE A REAL PERSON. She’s not talking about her breast size or wearing slutty clothes. Andie is a hipster because she’s too broke to buy expensive clothes and hang with the “Richies” like Blaine (Andrew McCarthy) and Stef (James Spader) who wear a lot of pastel colors (powder blue and pink…the perfect palette for smug condescension).
Andie’s style has aged well. Hipsters today might approve. She’s also perfect in every way; smart, funny, hard working, responsible. Her only downfall is that she falls for a quasi-douchebag Richie Blaine. SUCH IS THE FATE OF US WOMEN.

Andie became my high school role model. I related to Andie. Like Andie I used to drive around and look at the beautiful houses in Berkeley, which looked a lot like the ones in the movie, and I was ashamed of where I lived. (I lived in a perfectly lovely home in the flat lands). I also studied and took a lot of responsibility for my parents.
The second I hear the synthesizer of any Psychedellic Furs song I want put on some espadrilles and wistfully long for a guy wearing Polo.
I still have the “Pretty In Pink” soundtrack. Molly Ringwald is still badass. I don’t care if I live in a big house or not.
Just for today, I feel nostalgic.
