Romancing the Screen: Flashdance

 

Who can forget this 1983 movie about Alex, a young girl who works as a welder by day and an exotic dancer by night.  Her true dream is to study at a prestigious ballet school in town and become a ballerina.  She falls in love with her boss and vice versa.  The movie reminds me in someways of the older Harlequin Romance stories — young, poor girl, meets older, rich man.  They end up falling in L-O-V-E.  When I was younger, I loved reading Harlequins and still have my favorites. 

 

Some sexy parts of Flashdance:

1-  When Nick (the boss) comes over to her apartment and Alex removes her bra (while watching T.V.) without removing her top.  Nick’s mesmerized.  Speechless.

2-  Having dinner with Nick, Alex’s eating her lobster.  She removes her jacket and is wearing a halter-type shirt with bowtie.  He likes what he sees.

 

Favorite line occurs when Nick the boss first sees Alex dancing, he’s mesmerized and his friend Pete says, "Number 174631503."

Nick:  "Pete, I don’t want her zip code."

Pete:  "It’s her Social Security number.  She works for you."  

 

The soundtrack is still fun to listen to; the dances are still fun to watch.

Oh, and I liked Alex’s dog, a cute light brown haired pit bull named Grunt.

The scene where Alex auditions for the ballet school is also a favorite.  I used to dance and had a pair of leg warmers like Alex. 

Oh, what a feeling!
