We watched Legally Blonde again in preparation for the release of Legally Blonde 2 on DVD November 4. It had been a while since we'd seen the first one. We just remembered it was a lot of fun.
It still is. I'm still smiling when I think of it. The first time I saw it, I think it really broke through some stereotypes for me. I'd have been one of the too-serious, grim overachievers that saw our heroine as a ditsy blonde who did nothing important. Me, do her nails? OK, I still haven't gotten my nails done, but at least I can entertain the thought without a serious case of feminist hysteria.
I do remember a friend once finding me looking at makeup at the drugstore. She was truly horrified that I would consider buying mascara. My prescription for my friend: see "Legally Blonde." My suggestion to anyone who'd like a reliably entertaining movie, an old standby: see "Legally Blonde" again.
