RIP Jeff Conaway

"A hickey from Kenickie is like a Hallmark card..."

I first watched Grease when I was about 9 years old ... so I experienced some major nostalgia just now to hear that Jeff Conaway, the actor who played Kenickie, passed away this afternoon. PS: I'll let you in on a little secret: my 9 year old self was totally peachy keen, jellybean for a hickey from Kenickie!

Something a bit strange going on: only this morning I was searching Google images for a picture of Sandy and Danny in the flying car which I was going to blog about as my super-tacky, Friday morning inspiration (maybe I have a sixth sense!!!). jokes. Only I couldn't find the image anywhere! Anyway gonna go now, don a rara skirt (maybe!!) and relive my youth by rewatching the movie for the millioneth time ...

Happy Weekend xxx 

Unlikely Style Icons

Colour experts Pantone recently announced that the top colour in their chart for Spring Summer 2011 is Honeysuckle (aka hot pink).  It instantly reminded me of these unlikely style icons: the Pink Ladies from Grease.  Who was your favourite pink lady when you were growing up? Mine was Rizzo. Not proud of this but I always thought I did a great rendition of There Are Worse Things I Could Do. And I definitely wouldn't have minded getting 'A hickey from Kenickie' (Don't judge me....I was only about 14!!) Anyway I kind of want a hot pink - sorry, honeysuckle - jacket now!
