A still from the 1988 film Earth Girls Are Easy
Mirror80 wraps up DIY week with a makeover-themed music video from the movie Earth Girls Are Easy starring Geena Davis and Julie Brown. Stylistically, the film channels that magical blend of Mid-Century style and ’80s Modern flair. In the video for “Brand New Girl,” characters dance around a beauty shop that combines elements of 1950s decor and 1980s motifs a la Memphis-Milano design. Let the film’s sets inspire you and the makeover mood empower you to embrace DIY magic in the realms of interior design and fashion.
What does it take to successfully romance a distant fiance? In the video below, Julie Brown convinces a reluctant Geena Davis to change her look and become a “Brand New Girl.” Which apparently involves a bottle of peroxide and some blue contact lenses. But along the way we see some amazing fashion, from patterned leggings and short ruffle skirts to off-the-shoulder fitted tops and killer nails.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, this video is a great reminder that whether you’re in a new relationship, looking to revive an old one, or happily single, it’s important to take some time for yourself. “A facial! A body wrap! A gravel scrub!” As Geena Davis soon learns, a makeover may not be the ultimate answer to life’s problems, but unexpected surprised are around every corner (hello Jeff Goldblum!)…
