Molly Ringwald, forty candles
From today’s Today in History compendium comes this factoid about Molly Ringwald reaching the 40 year old milestone. As you can see from the above photo, she has aged quite well – relative obscurity does wonders for the complexion! Her only vice seems to be an unhealthy fondness for tartan but really things could have ended up much worse for her. Instead of being an 80s It girl, she could have hit it big in the 90s instead.
Wow. That makes me nostalgic for when the reigning teen queen a) wasn’t blonde, b) wasn’t a size 0, c) didn’t have her junk hanging out, d) kept her love life and the status of her hymen totally private, e) didn’t have substance abuse problems, f) etc., etc. etc.
Boy, I sound like an old fart, don’t I?
UGH!!! on the Uggs! When did the Mongol Hoard look come into style?
