Movie Review - The Worst Witch

Mwahahaha… I LOVED this movie growing up!

Long before Harry Potter, there was Mildred Hubble, the star character of the 1987 film The Worst Witch (played by Fairuza Balk).   Granted the movie was more for kids with a plot that only went as high as standards dictated main stream kid movies should get, but it’s a fun movie that even my kids today enjoyed watching.

I used to wait impatiently for Halloween and try to catch this on TV.  My best friend got to catch it repeatedely on HBO but I?  Alas, I only managed to catch it maybe twice in entirety in my entire childhood so getting to borrow it from her has really been a treat!  The movie follows the crazy hijinks of Mildred Hubble, who is (as the title suggests) the worst witch at  her witch school, who is harrassed by her teacher Miss Hardbroom (played by Diana Rigg).  This movie also stars the illustrious Tim Curry as the Grand Wizard… who I give you a clip of singing his main song in the film.

A final jewel in this film, it stars Charlotte Rae of the Facts of Life fame who plays both the Headmistress of the school and her evil twin sister who’s out to try and reclaim what she feels is her rightful place as Headmistress of the school.  I’d give the ending away but… I’d rather you check it out.

80s prom dress

If you are looking for an 80s prom dress, Madonna’s lacy teeny bopper
style is a solid choice. Some 80s prom dresses are timeless. They look
good in almost any decade: 80s, 90s and 2000’s - if you want something that looks
like it came from the 80s, you almost have to do something slightly over
the top, tacky that screams 80s. HUGE 80s “Poison” Ozone killing hair,
a side pony tail, a New wave hair do… something crazy. Accessories
like fingerless lace gloves, bracelets and RayBan glasses. layered

A pimp fits in any era.
