if you mess with us man, you’re gonna cry, baby cry

If you look at some of my previous posts, you can tell that I like cult movies. Cry-Baby is no exception; rockabilly cult classics just warm my heart. It’s a mash up of so many of my favorite things; rockabilly, Johnny Depp, tattooed tears, campy-ness, culty-ness, and Traci Lords. Any movie with Traci Lords in it is okay in my book..I mean, any non-underage porno of course.

I’m really feeling the rockabilly style here, which is so easily replicated:

When I was younger, about ten years ago, my friends and I were all punk rockers and we wore leather moto jackets all the time, emulating the ramones. I had a friend who looked a lot like Traci Lords, and she was the groupie of the crowd. At the time I was more of a tomboy. But looking back I really wish I'd been more girlie and looked more like this too. I was the only girl who wore a motorcycle jacket like the dudes. Reply

I too am a fan of "post-porn" Traci Lords, I've always wanted to be able to curl my lips up like hers, but alas...I look like a fish, while Traci looks like...well..Traci. Cult Classics are the best, I just made a personal cult discovery the other morning, a movie called "Night of the Hunter" starring Robert Mitchum, made in 1955. Influenced several campy directors like Martin Scorsese(sp), Spike Lee etc. and you can totally see the influence. It's before it's time really, check it out. Reply
