Hairspray things
On rewatching (and watching and watching..), things that make me giddy:
John Waters as a flasher. Awesome.
In the first chorus of Nicest Kids in town, Tracy does the motions! Its just so cute!
Right before Miss Baltimore Crabs, you can see that Amber is wearing Link's ring on a chain around her neck. As much as I ADORE Link and Tracy, there's something about Link/Amber that works for me.
Seaweed CRACKS up when Link walks in while Tracy is saying, "Im a bad bad girl who needs to be PUNISHED!" It's awesome.
The guy that Tracy grabs in "I Can Hear the Bells" just seems like he thinks her grabbing him is hilarious. He's just standing there laughing.
Ladies Choice - Link does this little finger flutter. I cant tell if he's waving at someone or what, but its funny.
Also Ladies Choice - when Tracy comes out to dance, Link cant take his eyes off of her..but then he does this little thing, he's biting his lip, he looks away and then looks right back at her, and there is something about it that makes me go SQUEEEEEEE.
"I also hope to be the first woman president! Or a Rockette!"
"Amber, stop it!" Link finally steps up. The "Kiss my ass," Tracy's huge smile and the wink are also of the fabulous.
Seaweed totally shakes his ass at Penny at the beginning of Run and Tell That. And then the look between Link and Tracy when Penny hits the floor is hysterical!
Tracy shakes it while Maybelle is singing Big, Blond, and Beautiful, and Link is just looking at her like, CUTE.
When Link is going through the "that's my shot, Trace," thing, he's holding her hand THE WHOLE TIME. *glee*
Honestly, I dont think Link even NOTICES the shrine to him in Tracy's bedroom. I mean, doesn't EVERYONE have a Link shrine?
The picture? it GIGGLES. its adorable!
Penny's dress for the pageant is totally her curtains. no, REALLY.
Rikki Lake as a talent scout!
"They love you, Link!" He's looking at YOU, Tracy!
When he steps away from Inez, you can see him go for Tracy's hand - to the point where he takes it, then is turning and switches to holding her hand with his other hand. its really cute.
I love how they review the other dances in "Can't Stop the Beat." Both Peyton Place and the dance from Run and Tell That show up.
THE KISSING! THE KISSING AND THE SMILING!!
Things I do not understand:
Is Louanne the same actress throughout? because she REALLY looks different at the pageant..and at first I thought she HAD to be a different actress, but now im not sure...
Previously mentioned timeline issues which i will not go into at this time. because they make my head hurt.
Fics/scenes/snippets i want to read/write/obsess about:
-Link shows up to march
-Link shows up to march. And brings half the council.
-Link shows up to march, brings half the council, INCLUDING AMBER.
-the one where Seaweed tells Tracy that Link was TOTALLY checking out her ass
-the one about Velma and how she would've won the competition anyway
-the one about Velma not winning the contest after Miss Baltimore Crabs
-the one where Link does the song he was supposed to do for the pageant, just for Tracy.
-the one where Link passes out on Tracy's bed after the pageant, still in his tux
-the thing about Link wanting to touch Tracy's hair.
AU
-the one where Tracy never tries out, and Link notices her anyway.
-the one where Tracy doesn't make it on the show, but Link dances with her after she convinces him to. Call this the "Strictly Ballroom" version of Hairspray.
-the one where Link comes and finds her at Miss Maybelle's. He's only been looking ALL OVER TOWN. All night!
OH MY JOSS. STOP ME.
