Toronto: Grease is the word
Posted on November 26, 2008
Odd Gems by Connie Ng
With a stir of rebels and rivals, a pinch of angst, romance and graduation anxiety, cinematic high-school drama never fails deliver. My coming-of-age retrospective is consumed with the fashion in juicy teen classics like Dazed and Confused, The Breakfast Club, Clueless and the cream of the crop, Grease.
Against a ’50s backdrop, Grease is the surreal universe of high school condensed into a campy extravaganza of kitsch wardrobes, tongue-in-cheek dialogue and major dance-offs to doo-be-do tunes. High School Musical, step aside! Making a stylish appearance on the holiday sales rack, Grease’s “Rockin’ Rydell” special edition DVD (from $20, hmv.ca) comes snugly dressed in a mini T-Birds leather jacket or a letterman’s sweater. Adorable beyond words! Sadly, the Pink Ladies jacket cover was only available at Target, but the resourceful web surfer should have no problem digging one up.
Odd Gems appears every second Wednesday. Visit Connie’s personal blog at theoddgoods.blogspot.com or read her bio here.
