LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION???

The following quote is from some crazy maniac named zboneman who has a movie review website;
"The quirky, sweet-natured comedy Napoleon Dynamite might have been the kind of movie John Hughes would have made had he lived in Idaho instead of Illinois."
Should we be surprised that this interesting, although odd and misguided thought, comes from someone who calls themself zboneman.
All in all, it got me thinkin'........................
If Napoleon Dynamite and Duckie were competing against each other in a "Michael Jackson BAD rumble dance off" who would win?
    
I'd say Napoleon because he has mad dancing skills and you know, like nunchuku skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking and he hunts wolverines in Alaska with his Uncle.
Napoleon is fearless.

           
If The Geek and Napoleon's brother Kip were in a brawl, who would win?
I'd say The Geek because although Kip is training to be a cage fighter, I don't believe he's got what it takes.
I feel kinda bad including Duckie in this group...oh well, I'll get over it....there.... I am over it.

THE ORIGINAL MR.PERFECT

Just have to mention this guy because....well because.....before Jake Ryan and all the rest - for Parker and I - there was Donny Osmond ***I type his name with hearts over my head***
Parker and I have always adored Donny Osmond, his beautiful smile and his purple socks.
I saw Donnie and Marie when I was 7.
In the 70's I had a Donnie and Marie wireless microphone that transfered my voice to the Hi Fi stereo speakers.
It gets better.......................
Parker attacked Donnie on stage....I saw it on TV as it happened.
I will NEVER forget it.
Had I have been there, I would have screamed his name out at full volume, run up and attacked him with hugs and kisses just like Parker did.
For no other reason then our sincerest Puppy Love, we solute Donny Osmond.

I AM A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER

WTF is this?
One of the reasons these two characters are so appealing is because they are emotionally mature, sensitive and romantic BEYOND.
These boys don't brawl.
Who comes up with this stuff???

Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles VS Lloyd Dobler from Say Anything

(However Lloyd gets my vote, he's a bit more street then Jake.)

I BELIEVE IN PINK - AUDREY HEPBURN

THIS PHOTO BEHOOVES ME. IF I WAS MARRIED TO MATTHEW BRODERICK I'D HAVE A LONG FACE TOO

Matthew Broderick And Sarah Jessica Parker Share A Tender Moment Together
I adore SJP it's her husband who's a horses ass.

I SEE YOUR TRUE COLORS AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE YOU

Cindy Lauper is my all time favorite, time after time and IMO she is more "seriously" relevent today then in the 80's.
I LOVE everything about her, she is just so unusual.
Original, Amazing Talent, Creative, Zany, Fun, Beautiful....the list goes on and on....she wears her heart on her sleeve and not only talks the talk, she walks the walk and Gives A Damn.
Cindy Lauper is an activist for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth experiencing homelessness.
As an Artist, Cindy's voice and lyrics have given us lots to think about.
These days she is using her voice to get the word out about her GIVE A DAMN Campaign.
Below, she presents alarming statistics re: Gay or Transgender Homeless Youth;
Twenty to 40 percent of homeless youth identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, yet only 3 to 5 percent of the general population does the same. Shock was the first thing I felt when I heard this statistic, and then sadness that there are so many young people who are either thrown out of their homes or run away out of fear and despair because they are gay or transgender.
But, while the disproportionate numbers are disheartening, what really matters and makes a significant impact are the young people themselves, their struggles and their desire to live a life that they dream about and deserve to live…

True Colors
You with the sad eyes
don't be discouraged
oh I realize
it's hard to take courage
in a world full of people
you can lose sight of it all
and the darkness inside you
can make you fell so small

But I see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
don't be unhappy, can't remember
when I last saw you laughing
if this world makes you crazy
and you've taken all you can bear
you call me up
because you know I'll be there

And I'll see your true colors
shining through
I see your true colors
and that's why I love you
so don't be afraid to let them show
your true colors
true colors are beautiful
like a rainbow

THE PRETTIEST IN PINK

All this mouthing off we've been doing about how marvelous Sam, Andie, Claire and Iona are/were.....there is one little lady we haven't mentioned.
She has class, she has style, she is a retro fashionista and can blow the rest of these girls right out of the park....
The Pretty In Pink Karmann Ghia.
TA DAAAAH

FYI, Andie's Karmann Ghia is a 1958 Hardtop and this body style was manufactured from 1956 to 1959.
The 1960 model had the later style headlights, tailights and fresh air vent grills in the front.
In addition, this was a US model since it had the towelbar bumper overriders.

Two things I wanted from Pretty in Pink: James Spader and Andie’s pink Karmann Ghia. 23 years later, James still has miles left on him.

I'd like to dedicate this song to The Pretty In Pink Karmann Ghia.
Oh and did I mention, it was love at first sight?
One day, you will be mine ;)
