Lil' Blonde Darling: Angelyne!

Blonde Beauty Icon Angelyne

This is definitely what you would call an "LA Blonde"! Behold the epic blonde glaMOUR of Angelyne! An "actress" and "model", she's been an LA fixture since the early 80's, when a series of handbills baring her photo started to appear around the city. She soon transitioned to huge billboards, paid by, in her words "investors" which became a Hollywood pop culture landmark. She can often be spotted around Hollywood, driving in her pink Corvette with vanity license plates reading "ANGLYNE",  and toting around her pink Maltese dog, Buddah. She even ran for California Governor in 2003!! Her slogan during the campaign was "We’ve had Gray (Gov. Gray Davis), we’ve had Brown (Gov. Jerry Brown), now it’s time for some blond and pink." Calling herself a real-life Barbie doll, she is usually only seen wearing shades of pink, something that was lampooned for the character Vylette, in the 1999 film Jawbreaker. Yes, she is over the top BUT you have to admire her complete and total commitment to her look. She is never seen not "done"....and of course I have to applaud her on the shameless self promotion! Shwerk!

Lil' Blonde Darling: Judy Greer as Vylette!

Blonde Beauty Icon Vylette

Is everyone ready for a late 90's fashion flashback? Good! The looks worn by Judy Greer as Vylette in the 1999 dark comedy Jawbreaker are like a dream come true. The movie is a camp classic and plays like Heathers meets Clueless; the 3 most popular (bitchy) girls in school accidently murder their BFF with a jawbreaker during a birthday prank gone sour. They plan to cover up her death but are found out by school geek Fern Mayo. To buy her silence, they transform the gawky Fern into popular, stylish blonde Vylette. I was a total awkward geek who metamorphosized myself into a blonde bombshell in high school, so I'll always have a soft spot for Fern/Vylette. Everything she wore was slinky and body hugging, shiny or iridescent and mostly made of spandex. I mean, thank baby Jesus! Vylette's signature color palette was comprised of shades of pink; fuchsia, geranium, salmon, magenta, rose, carnation, shocking pink.....a monochromatic fantasy! Costume designer Vickie Brinkkord really outdid herself on this film. Rose McGowan's looks were equally stunning. Vickie was also the costume designer for the Clueless TV series.....but that's an entire different blog post!

disco slip!

Soooooo gorgeous I needed 2 shots! A high waisted, stretch satin pencil skirt needs to be seen!

The stockings take the dress to a new level!

That carnation pink vinyl clutch needs to be in my collection.
