BRING IT ON
The film that made being head cheerleader seem like the most glam thing in the world,
that taught preteens valuable lessons about cultural appropriation 7 years before tumblr existed,
that launched one of the biggest teen franchises of all time...
Anyway: In continuing the theme of me being Perpetually Stuck in The 2000s (THEY'RE COMING BACK!!!!! sign number one is this retro commercial that Motorola released that may or may not be legitimate but nevertheless proves that we are trapped in a cyclical fashion cycle and the Oughties R Here 2 Stay) I rewatched one of my fave teen films of all time. And it is SUCH a great time capsule of fashion at the time, but what stood out to me wasn't the clothes...
It was the hair.
Don't get me wrong - the costumes are great, if severely under appreciated. Maybe they need a bit more time before they're appreciated? Because when researching I had a very difficult time finding source material about the costume design. :( But maybe the 2020s will show a resurgance of interest in turn of the century filmography (at least one can hope and pray).
(brb furiously googling Gabrielle Union's skincare routine).
