Guest Post: Party Girl Fashion

Hello, lovelies! This is Jennifer Fabulous, Liv's blogger soulmate. I am so honored she asked me to guest post on her awesome blog. I'm hoping a little bit of her coolness will rub off on me now. Hehe.

Liv recently got me hooked on Party Girl, a fashion explosion I somehow missed out on during my youth in the 1990s.

The 1995 film revolves around Mary (played by the delectable Parker Posey), a 24-year-old Prada-adorned bohemian who has no idea what she wants to do with her life. While she tries to figure it out, she spends her time changing in and out of designer clothes, eating delicious Middle Eastern food, and hanging out with her fabulous gay friends.

In other words, this film is about me.

I'm going to be honest, I could have cared less about the plot, no matter how hard it hit home.

It was the fashion which made me drool.

The gaudy, spectacular, glamboyant fashion.

Let's take a looksie, shall we?

(I apologize in advance for the poor quality of the screenshots. We're dealing with pre-digital shit here).

Anyway.

I knew the film was going to be fucking brilliant when Parker Posey made her entrance in GLITTER SHORTS.



(Insert hyperventilating here).

In this next scene, color-blocking on acid takes place.





I would dance on tables too, if I rocked this outfit.

The next ensemble is my all-time favorite:





Fake leo. Check. Red lips. Check. Fuck-you walk. Check.

And finally, class at it's finest.





Because nothing says lady-like career-woman more than a form-fitting leather skirt and a gorgeous satin ruffled blouse.

And these are just a FEW of the looks from the movie. Imagine.

Below I've created some outfits inspired by the film.

He-he-hello-ooo!

Ah, Party Girl. I Netflixed this the other day because the beat up VHS copy I had flew up to the great Blockbuster in the sky... and I loved this film as much upon the 87th viewing as I did the very first time.

If you haven't seen this (for shame!) then you must ask yourself: Do I loves myself some Parker Posey? Do I have a deep appreciation for falafels with hot sauce, the Dewey Decimal System and 90s house music?  Do I truly feel in my heart of hearts I should have been born a drag queen? (Oh wait, is that just me?)

 Regardless, for now, let's revel in Mary's style spectrum from lady-like to totally bonkers and everything in between:









“I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance, preferably something that will make my unborn children grow gills.”
