Make a tea with ginger, lemon and garlic - gross but it kills germs. And also Chinese hot and sour soup. That kills sick too.

I think in Pretty in Pink (PiP) the point of the clothes were to accentuate the economic differences between the kids. In the one scene when he comes outside you can see the kids look very different - more dirty. The rich kids are very clean. Poor kids are dark, the scenes are dark, the rich kids are light, pastels, etc.

I agree, that dress was the ugliest. I'm not even a tremendous sewer but I could have whipped something better than that up. But I think the point was to make her stand out a bit and look "creative."

My favorite character is Iona. Hands down. She wore the best clothing, except for the normal look. I wanted her apartment. I wanted to be Iona when I grew up so badly.

My favorite scene is when Ducky lip-syncs Otis Redding in the record store. I loved the Ducky character and totally would have gone out with him too. He does score Kristy Swanson, later to become Buffy the Vampire Slayer, though.

Yes, I've watched the movie a lot! ;)
