short shorts and quivering knees

dirty dancing is one of those guilty pleasures, let's face it; it's not a very cool film to like. i'll watch it every couple of years and giggle and sigh in all the right parts, and unashamedly cave in and behave in an overly girlish manner reserved only for this film.




baby is meant to be uncool.
but everytime i watch it, this outfit sticks in my head.

and um, her name is actually pretty rad
imagine being called baby!
better trip down the american apparel, i guess

    baby is my hero!

    my sister & I watched it until we wore out the tape.

    now i have the dvd.


    It's still one of my favs.

    b/c we danced i think we got away with watching it at such a young age!

    ah the jean shorts. classic.

    i hope you're having a wonderful week.

    Love Dirty Dancing! Stumbled upon this gem the other day... Dirty Dancing mashed with Rye Rye, things will never be the same again.

  15. Oh I loved Dirty Dancing. Her dress in the final dance scene is also one of my favourite outfits in the movie.
