After these last few trying years of isolation and uncertainty, we decided that it’s high time to turn off the news and soak our parched brains in some light-hearted Rom Coms (and Rom Drams)! Do you enjoy the kind of wise-cracking friendship that keeps you humble with their relentless dry humor? Do you enjoy a hefty side of gallows humor with your romance? Heather and Sarah explore the eclectic terrain of beloved rom-coms and rom-drams with the kind of sarcastic informality that only comes from years and years of friendship that has only grown, like a fungus, from living.

"His Name Is Blane? That's A Major Appliance, That's Not A Name!": PRETTY IN PINK

You know it, you love it, it’s the classic Cinderella story told by way of 1986. Molly Ringwald defies all fashion logic by daring to wear pink as a redhead, and crush unabashedly on the rich, popular guy while her lipgloss pouts from the “wrong side of the tracks.”

But guess what? He likes her back! But like all unassuming, naturally cool chicks, she has a sidekick guy friend who is not-so-secretly pining for her: Enter the Duckie - Forlorn, poetic, and a slightly pathetic courtier who is playing the wear-down game with his female BFF.

A moment of silence for “Duckies” everywhere….

Sarah and Heather uncurl and unfurl this ode to teenage classist angst, and oddly comment on the 80’s fashion that seemingly ages everyone up about 30+ years, to couture fresh out of a Sears catalogue for 55 and over.

Lighters up for the Rave-ups, New Order, and The Psychedelic Furs who enhance this bawdy tale with the tones of longing and lust. Now if only Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald had just an ounce of sexual chemistry….. As Iona puts it, “Don’t waste good lip gloss.”

A girl can dream.
