Nothing says Summer like the movie, Shag. I loved this film. It was truly a guilty pleasure for a teenage girl in the midst of summer fantasies. So, when I saw that Vogue Magazine did a feature on the film, I was thrilled!
Shag was definitely a cult classic. In 1989 I was 13 so it was a film I could really relate to. You had four friends who took off in for a last hurrah in the 1960's. There were good girls, bad girls, dancing, boys, and of course summer fashion.
I always related to Pudge the most, but wanted secretly to be Malaina. Who did you like in the film? If you haven't seen it, RENT IT IMMEDIATELY!

I LOVE this movie! I would have to say pudge was the one I related too but I was always okay with that. My Grandma and Pepa used to dance and win a lot of shag contest and taught me when I was little. I too say see it if you haven't.
Favorite movie of all time....my sisters and I have seen it a million times and can quote it plenty. I think I need to see it before we leave for the beach in 2 weeks. I remember my daddy dragging us all over Ocean Drive in Myrtle Beach when we were kids to see all the old Shag huts...and the ones that are still there! Fabulous post!
Oh and I'm a Pudge fan! She was my favorite and the one I could relate to best.
One of my Fav's!!! ~wink~
OMG I totally forgot about that movie! I used to watch it over and over I loved it so much!
SUCH a good movie!!! I always tend to like the blonde character best, so I was Team Malania too! My friends + I are doing a beach day in Aug, then having a slumber party - we'll have to watch Shag - you just inspired me!
Cute post! I've never seen it. I'm gonna add it to my queue right now!
So fun!! We would always watch this movie on the bus on our way to summer camp. I definitely need to watch it again!! :)
Just put it on my Netflix! ;)
Never seen, or heard of, this movie. Def adding it to my Netflix queue though! Loving the fashion!
The Shag is one of my all time favs! About two months ago, I ate brunch at a table across from the writers of this movie.
LOVE this post! XO
PS. Brandon and I are starting to take Shag lessons next Monday! I am from Myrtle Beach and his parents are big shaggers. I will update our progress on my blog!
