Style Inspiration: Jawbreaker

When I was 13, the video store I went to gave away free posters, and one day, the poster for Jawbreaker was in there.  Immediately drawn to the pop art colours, and enviable females (remember, this was during my easily impressionable stages of my looks), I picked up the poster, and Jawbreaker continues to be one of my favourite movies to this day.

Rose McGowan, Julie Benz, Rebecca Gayheart, and Judy Greer are all gorgeous.  The visuals are stunning, and the storyline about killing your popular best friend is purely Heathers.  But the part that continues to get me is the clothes.

Part 1960s sorority, part 1990s matchy-matchy, the clothes in Jawbreaker make me want to fill my closet with flower patterns, kitten heels, matching clutches, and cardigan sets.  And Rose McGowans technicolor lipstick/pale skin/liquid liner combo is already something I've become quite familiar with.

So here's my essential fashion ala Jawbreaker check-list:

1. Invest in a printed floral dress.
2. Buy some bright coloured scarves to tie around my neck ala Courtney Shane.
3. Invest in a matching clutch purse where I can keep all my make-up for my essential "pre-lunch touch-up."
4. Start building a collection of super-high heels and too tight cardigans.
5. Expose the manipulative popular girl for the evil murderess she is...

Oh, wait, that last one is from my "things to do before graduating high school" list.  My bad.  Though in all fairness I think that the style from Jawbreaker is something I could pull off for a super warm summer in New York.

Currently Idolizing: Julia "Juju" Sophie

How do you open for a band like Hole?  Well, for starters, get a band like power rock duo Little Fish fronted by singer/guitar player Julia "Juju" Sophie.  With a screechy voice and great guitar skills, Juju sounds like she grew up listening to Courtney Love, The Runaways, and Kittie.

Gearing up for their newest release, Baffled and Beat, next month, this London based band has the energy you want to see in an opening band.  The managed to rile up the crowd, fuck around with us a little, and get us psyched for Hole.  Juju had the aura of a rock goddess, and although the crowd wasn't too forgiving, she still had people dancing.

Not only that, but she's gorgeous, talented, and has killer arms.  I so wish I could be her...
