Hughes Cinema Style: The Breakfast Club

FabSugar — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:50:22 -0700

I have dedicated not one but two FABTVs to The Breakfast Club. So yeah, it's a fave. It's no Sixteen Candles or Weird Science, but it's up there in Fab's John Hughes top three. I think my favorite character's style in this one is actually not Molly - it's bad boy Bender. With his flannel-over-thermal and bandana-around-boot, he had style for miles. And then there were four: the Jock, the Princess, the Basketcase, and the Geek . . . tres chic. Source

FABTV: Simple Minds "Don't You (Forget About Me)"

FabSugar — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 05:44:22 -0700

You know, it says don't do it, but I did (forget about this song). I've been bringing you FABTV for hella long now, and there are just too many classic music vids to keep track of. Funny how so many of them are from the '80s, then again, that was the decade MTV was born. We've already giggled at the awesome dance scene from The Breakfast Club, but what about the signature song? I had a geek crush on the lead singer of Simple Minds, Jim Kerr, with his fluffy hair and high-waisted trousers. He was so Andrew McCarthy-esque . . .

FABTV: The Breakfast Club Dance Scene

FABTV is taking a new direction this week - let's not forget about important fashion/music/dance moments in film. It's these hybrids that sometimes make cinematic history. Flashdance anyone? But onto a less famous scene from a very famous film, the one, the only, The Breakfast Club. The song is so-so, but the moves are so groovy. Each character has their individual style that totally works with their persona. The Prom Queen is doing the quintessential '80s bounce kick, The Jock is working the air guitar, The Rebel is headbanging (naturally), The Basket Case is the most artistic of the bunch, and The Geek is, well, geeking out. Gotta love it.

FABTV: Phoenix, "Lisztomania" (SF Brat Pack Mash Up)

I feel a smile coming on . . . this brand spanking new Phoenix video was filmed in my hometown, San Francisco, over the past couple Sundays. It's fresher than fresh. The kids are local talent, and one of my friends is even one of the danceaholics in it - hi Trish! (She's the vibrant redhead with the cool printed tee). It's so spirited. The dance moves may look familiar - an ode to one of the best scenes in The Breakfast Club. And the shots of neon garb hone in on the awesome '80s vibe. Smile on.

Back to Cool: Teen Queen, Molly Ringwald

FabSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Molly Ringwald not only had dancing skills, the girl was the teen queen of the '80s. While crushing over Jake Ryan (so hot) in Sixteen Candles, being the not-so-popular girl in Pretty In Pink, or playing prom queen in The Breakfast Club, Molly ruled in her leather bombers, scrunched boots, frilly tops, and blazers. It's time to take your back to cool style, well, back in time!
