Still winding down from revisions earlier in the week (and frankly, not in the mood to write) so last night, curled up on the couch and watched Flashdance.
Now, I'm a child of the eighties. I love the music, the memories, though I can leave the fashion (especially those ugly leg warmers for if you're a shorty like me, they really didn't do much for you!)
The amazing thing, I've never seen Flashdance in its entirety. Sure, the movie is dated but I loved it! The whole 'girl from the wrong side of the tracks doing it tough to achieve her dream', inspiring stuff! Found myself humming 'What a Feeling' for an hour afterwards...and blogging about it today.
Long live the eighties!
As long as I don't have to wear shoulder pads again. What was it they eat in that movie? I remember that scene being quite .. quite ...
ReplyDeleteLobster!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's 'quite'!!
And boy, do I hear you about the shoulder pads. Hideous things....
Great scene. I still cry when she does the big dance thing at the end and the judge lady claps!
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record I adore leg warmers. And I'm wearing fingerless gloves as we speak!
I've never seen it. Terrible isn't it? However, I have seen Dirty Dancing a few times :-)
ReplyDeleteIf you've seen DD a few times, you're forgiven :)
ReplyDeleteThat is my all time favourite movie!
I see myself as belonging to both the 70s and the 80s. The 70s because that was my teen era and the 80s because that's when I did my clubbing. Oh how I remember the denim jackets with bits of lace and stuff sewn on them... the bits of fabric in the hair... flat pumps... rara skirts... I loved it all.
ReplyDeleteI loved the ra-ra skirts!
ReplyDeleteAnd the 70s were all about Abba for me.
Great memories...
