It's no surprise to anyone who knows me, I'm an interior design junkie...or actually, maybe I don't share this with a lot of people, but I DO happen to love interior design. I'll put it in these terms, I'd rather dress a room than dress myself. A popular design site, Design*Sponge, has a feature every week titled "Living In" which takes well known classic films and matches their look and feel with home items, kitschy knick-knacks, and the like. This past week they revisited the 1987 rom-com, Mannequin! Okay, HELLO, this is DEFINITELY no surprise to you if you know me. I'm obsessed with tacky eighties pop culture: the music, the movies, the Ringwald. I dig it all. And Mannequin, oh, it has it all. The last song in the movie is "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by mutha effing STARSHIP! OKAY?! Plus, Andrew McCarthy is in it. A top eighties dreamboat if I do say so myself...Although, I'm always very uncomfortable during his kissing scenes, as it seems to me his kissing style is like a fish narrowly opening his mouth over and over for food bits? Check me on this. Anyway, Netflix your little heart out on some Mannequin. You can thank me now for exposing you to Meshach Taylor who plays Hollywood. Little did I know when I first saw this movie in my youth that he would be my gateway drug into gay fandom.
Oh, by the way, here's the full article for Living In: Mannequin!
