Kenickie. Well, not _now_ of course… Somewhat amusing coincidence: Last week, I was on my way to work and “You’re the One That I Want” came on the radio. I was singing along at the top of my voice when I looked down and realized I was wearing almost exactly the same outfit Sandy wears during the song (though my pants weren’t made of leather). ---

Good Sandy. I like the dress she wears to the drag race. ---

I don’t like that she had to change her whole appearance (and presumably, behavior) to fit in, but I like the look she ended up with. And Danny changed too (he lettered in track and actually wore the sweater), so I’m okay with the makeover. ---

I was singing along at the top of my voice when I looked down and realized I was wearing almost exactly the same outfit Sandy wears during the song (though my pants weren’t made of leather). Neither were hers - they’re lycra or something. So maybe you were dressed exactly like her! As for the OP, I think I’ll take Freddy. I’ve already got a good man, but I can always use more loot. ---

And Danny changed too (he lettered in track and actually wore the sweater), so I’m okay with the makeover. Yeah, but, at the end, when she appears to him in her slutty outfit, he removes the sweater and tosses it away. When I saw the film back when, it struck me that, if in the final scene (where they drive off into the sunset) he had the sweater thrown over his shoulder, it would have been just right. As it is, the message of the movie is seriously twisted. Not that I get my knickers in a knot about it - it’s just a movie, after all. ---

If you want to start getting worked up over something, notice that they _fly_ off into the sunset, not drive. ---

Good Sandy. If she’s willing to change her whole persona and attitude for a guy, she’ll likely be willing to do all sorts of nasties in the bedroom. The juxtaposition of bedroom nasty and public good girl drives me wild. ---
