The other night I caught my all-time fave childhood movie on VH1. Nope, it wasn’t ROGER RABBIT, a Disney princess movie, SUPERMAN, GREASE or even PRETTY IN PINK.
It was… GREASE 2.
At five-years-old I wanted to be Stephanie Zione. I even bought big hoop earrings (clip-ons), cut bangs, begged my mom to make me a Pink Ladies reversible black leather jacket, sang and danced to Cool Rider (I was real bad), and chomped on Bubba Hubba bubblegum like a cow chewing grass. While Sandy from the original GREASE was quiet and nice and girly (except at the end), Stephanie had edge. Stephanie had attitude. Stephanie liked motorcycles, being on the back of one, and bad boys who rode them.
Yes, my parents were worried about me.
And to this day every time I watch GREASE 2, I fall in love with it all over again.
Stephanie, I still heart you.
How about you? What was your favorite movie?
Happy Wednesday!

I loved that Cool Rider song! And I loved how she put so much ketchup on her hamburger because that's what I did (and still do!).
I loved the original Grease so much too. I listened to that record (yes, record) over and over.
I loved the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies the most though in childhood. And ET.
Me too!! :) Yes, I forgot Star Wars. I remember playing Princess Leia during recess. :) Yay, Grease movies! ;)
I remember when the first Grease movie came out. That probably dates me a bit. It was fun.
I never saw Grease 2, but man, Grease I watched over and over. Loved that movie.
Grease movies are a blast, Sarah.. Doesn't date you at all. :)
You must see it, PJ! ;)
I used to go to the movie THEATER dressed in 50s clothes with my mom to see the original GREASE (still my favorite!). How big a nerd was I, anyway??? And shame on my mom for not reigning me in!
I too loved this movie as much as you do. Thanks for posting. Continue blogging!
