didn't there used to be a thread for this before?

I hope it's cool that I did this, but after seeing Molly Ringwald in an epi of medium, I had to post about it.

she looked good, still those fabulous full lips and the hair, only more mature.

when I realised it was her I nearly spit though.

I need to rent 16 Candles again and Pretty In Pink and all those other great flicks too.
wish I could get my kid to stop thinking the '80's were so dorky so I could grow her up the Right way.

Toni Basil was actually a choreographer. She danced professionally, but she was really famous for choreographing other peoples' videos. Something nags at me to suggest she may have choreographed David Bowie's Boys Keep Swinging video, among others, or one of his big tours...but I'm really probably wrong on that. She did, however, make a huge career out of choreographing in movies, other people's concert tours, other people's shows. And she has done some acting in film herself. Oh Mickey was just her go at making a video and a joke about that painful highschool affliction, having a big crush on a boyfriend who's most likely gay.

I loved that, especially, about the 80's. That suddenly there were music videos on TV. I loved watching them, even the ones that were ridiculous (I distinctly remember one that the pre-incarnation of Much Music here in Canada played as a satire of Banarama...the song was called "The Devil Lives in My Husband's Body" and it was sung by 3 girls who harmonized simply but badly, just like Bananarama did...and in their song they complained that "their friends can't come over anymore...")
