Unsere kleine Tinseltown
"Wie komm ich nur auf Leopard, der Dresscode hiess Pepita". Konsterniert blickt la Streisand ins Narrenkastl. Drei Pepita-Damen weiter lächelt Marlene Dietrich sanft in schwarz.

Myrtle Mae Musik
The 5678's became world famous after their appearance in Kill Bill with their (grating) song "Woo Hoo". But there is so much more to them! They are like the female Black Lips. I have to get their albums. I want to be in a band like this. Here they are in 1989, paying homage to the Shangri-Las with the motorcycle intro and being cooler than Kathleen Hanna.
Music here.

"You went to school to learn girl
things you never knew before
like I before E except after C and why 2 plus 2 makes 4
now, now, now
Im gonna teach you, teach you, teach you
all about love girl, all about love
sit yourself down, take a seat
all you gotta do is repeat after me
A B C , Its easy as
1 2 3 , as simple as
do re mi, A B C, 1 2 3
baby you and me girl"

Silver Screen Sirens
The beautiful and very sad Lili St. Cyr in an interview with the very demeaning, patronizing (well, it was 1950) Mike Wallace. This woman was ahead of her time.

Cover-Versionen
Am Soundtrack-Cover zu "Silkwood" versuchen Meryl Streep, Kurt Russel und Cher so gut es geht das Thema des Films - unangenehme Dinge wie Radioaktivität und korrupte Firmen - in den Hintergrund zu posen, machen einen auf schwierige aber nicht unlustige Dreiecksbeziehung und schauen aus wie ein Outfit-Trio von dem American-Apparel Verkäufer des Nächtes träumen. Ich wette diese kurze Mini-Jeansjacke wird bald ein Comeback erleben.

Pressing Maters
Weil gestern zu Joan Jetts "Bad Reputation" (das allerdings von Joan Jett and the Blackhearts ist) gar so schön getanzt wurde, hier Joans 70er Jahre Band The Runaways. Achtung: Innerhalb von Sekunden setzt der Stirnfransenabschneid-Impuls ein.
In der von Myrtle Mae hochgeschätzten, stets umarmten und verehrten Serie "Freaks and Geeks" gibt "Bad Reputation" den Intro-Song. Sehet selbst und werden Fans.

Ruhe bitte, Filmstill
R. hat mir erzählt, dass seine Mutter jedes Mal "NEIN - nicht die schönen Haare!" rufen würde, wenn sie sich "Roman Holiday" anschauen, in dem la Hepburn als Prinzessin in Rom mit Gregory Peck um die Häuser zieht und sich temporär emanzipiert und sich im Zuge dessen auch einen Kurzhaarschnitt verpassen lässt.

Silver Screen Sirens
And before there was "Juno", there was "Gidget", maybe one of the best written girl characters on TV. Sally Field is incredible, and her clumsy, clutzy best friend Larue is the quintessential sidekick. Add to that a dash of stern yet caring single-dad and you've got me sold, 1965! It's really funny too!
Oh and in this scene below, they pretend it's 11.30 at night. God, I miss naivite and bad set design!
You can watch "Gidget" on youtube.

30 years before Tina Fey made it popular in "30 Rock", there was another spunky lady running around a New York high rise office building - "That Girl!"
Starring the impeccable Marlo Thomas (the love child of Charlotte Roche, Linda Cardellini and Audrey Hepburn), "That Girl" is a 30 minute comedy romp - the story lines are pretty "safe" (hey, it was 1966!) but the dialogue is fast and witty enough to make up for it.
The teaser/expose of each episode starts with a scene that leads to "that girl!" being said and also being the cue for the opening credits. Pretty clever! Thanks to someone who likes doing illegal things, all of "That Girl!" can be watched on youtube. The first episode has the fantastic title "Don't Just Do Something, Stand There", which is really ingenious. Watch it and learn.
