File Under WTF?! - Fashion Phuckery in Film - Stripper Dress From 80s Horror Movie - The Hidden

Bad 80s horror films have been my secret (okay not so secret) dirty pleasure for a good while now. A few months ago I came across a forgotten gem called "The Hidden" starring Michael Nouri and Kyle MacLachlan, circa 1987.

The premise of the film is your standard good alien vs. bad alien body snatcher type flick, with bad alien jumping from unlikely body to unlikely body throughout the movie. This movie also contains 80s hallmarks of new wave music, cocaine snorting, and both aliens love fast, expensive sports cars for no explainable reason.

At one point bad alien takes over a stripper and sneaks out of the strip joint that is under police lock down looking for him, wearing his new body. LOL!

Bad alien also selected from the stripper's street clothes, this high impact mullet of a bustier mini-dress to escape in. Looks perfectly acceptable from the front albeit a bit short, right?

You can kind of tell something is just not right with the back that dress by the look on officer #1's face, but even that did not prepare me for the total impact of fashion phuckery that followed.

Built in thong, y'all! Check. Good ole' fashion pancake butt just like Mom used to make! Check. Pancake butt cleavage. Check. Making sure my dress is so short that everyone can see what I had for dinner. Check.



All in all a perfect dress when you look in the closet and say to yourself, "I have nothing to wear!" :-)

You can watch "The Hidden"  in its entirety below. Featuring a very sexy Michael Nouri, a very wooden Kyle MacLachlan (he is supposed to be Good Alien, so I'll cut him a break) and in her first award winning role as Alien/Stripper.....??? Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lZblnWgraU&oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D7lZblnWgraU&has_verified=1

Beautiful Period Piece Movies.....

I adore a beautifully filmed period piece. Some of my favorite movies, well besides horror films :-), are films set in a specific place in time.  The amazing wardrobes, attention to aesthetic detail for that particular circa and unmatched cinematography just pulls me in and takes me there every time.

A few of my top favorites are Age of Innocence, Sophia Coppola's version of Marie Antoinette and most recently The Great Gatsby.

Below are some of my favorite visuals and of course fashion looks and guides to achieve some of the looks from those films. By adding one or two pieces from to your wardrobe, you can take a little piece of that feeling with you through the day...or night!

Favorite Period Piece Movies - The Great Gatsby by beanie2009 featuring John Lewis

Interesting movie trivia for The Great Gatsby. The director, Baz Luhrmann, felt that he was not getting the proper enthusiastic abandon he wanted while filming the party scene at Gatsby's estate, so he decided to kick it up by blasting Kayne West and Jay-Z's "Ni**a's in Paris". After all, that song could really be Jay Gatsby theme song if you listen to the lyrics. LOL!  


After that and another round of champagne on the set, it was appropriately turned up and he got what he wanted!! LOL!

A New Star From The Smith Family - The Karate Kid Movie

Check out the trailer for The Karate Kid, starring Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and Taraji P. Henson, a remake of the ’80s classic which hits theaters June 11th.  Preview looks hot with the right amount of comedy (he is Will Smith's kid after all..LOL!)  I loved both the first and second original Karate Kid movies (the rest..not so much).  I bet there will be a surge in kids signing up for Karate lessons just like when the first one came out. I will definitely be taking my little one to see this.  He will enjoy it!
