Gothic Breakfast Meets Downandout Film Star
Watched the Breakfast Club snuggled up in bed last night - arguably the best teen movie of the eighties. But then some people say it's Ferris Bueller's Day Off. But then those people are generally men. Either way, John Hughes, or early John Hughes at least, is a serious artform.

Remember Allison? The Ally Sheedy character? (True caseof Where Are They Now? - Ally is now 40 years old. She has been in fifty films, and you've never heard of most of them.) Anyway, she was very goth, remember? All black eyeliner and angst. Apparently, that whole goth-fashion thing is - dare I say it - the new black. Although, I suspect it's all goth, no satanism, which may be a good thing.
