Your Questions About Olivia Newton John Grease

January 26, 2012

George asks…

Why Dont more women do what Olivia Newton John In Grease does?

Why Dont more women do what Olivia Newton John In Grease does and wear a black leather jacket and smoke a ciggarette at the same time?
They would look so hot.

Just look at how hot she looks.Girls please do what Olivia Newton John does in this video more often.

andre1 answers:

Innocent and attractive young woman suddenly transformed into repulsive (just my opinion) slut. Do I really have to explain this one? The cigarettes are also a HUGE turnoff- if you knew my Grandmother, you'd understand: Cigarettes = disgusting hag.

Honestly, Grease is one of my favorite musicals of all time- but that transformation was a big turnoff for me. When guys like me look at such women, one question comes to mind: What the heck am I going to catch from her?!

James asks…

What was the first name of the character played by Olivia Newton John in Grease?

andre1 answers:

Sandy

Linda asks…

What is worse than Olivia Newton John in Grease ?

Come on Eileen

andre1 answers:

What? You don't like olivia and grease? You don't like dexys midnight runners either?

Susan asks…

Hotter chick.....Olivia Newton John in Grease.....or Jessica Simpson in the Dukes of Hazzard?

andre1 answers:

Olivia Newton John is timeless! I would take her now or then before I would take Jessica Simpson! She still looks the same that she did back when she did Grease! Timeless beauty over a fad!!!

Your Questions About 50′s Costumes For Women

January 25, 2012

Mary asks…

I am going to a dance and have to dress as my favourite rock/pop star from the 50's to now. Any ideas & how?

I am a women age 56 with good legs so I don't mind wearing a short skirt. I am not creative at all so any ideas for an easy costume would be greatly appreciaed.
Thanks

andre1 answers:

It really depends on what you can do with your hair.
You could be Nancy Sinatra with boots and long straight blond hair, Patsy Cline in a litle sequined cowgirl outfit and a boufon hairdo, or Dianna Ross with a 60's style stewardess outfit and 60's hair.
Have fun!

Mark asks…

Help on costumes for a "Then and Now" fashion show!?

I'm in charge of a fashion show at my church. The problem is that I don't know what men and women wore throughout the ages. I need a description on the types of clothing that people wore in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and the 90's. I need it for men and women, and types of accessories that they used would also be very helpful! Thank you so very much

andre1 answers:

50's: Poodle skirts, old timey high necklines, pin hair curls, high pony tails. Look at the movie Greece if you need a reference point.

60's: Tye Dye, peace-d out clothing, bell bottoms, headbands, circle glasses, face paint (for protestors)

70's: These times were more a transitional time between the 60's & 80's, I'd look online for this one because I'm not sure, sorry.

80's: Think Madonna here. Colored leggings, slouchy one shoulder tops, bangles, a lot of things that have come back "in" today were also in style during the 80's. Hair was ridiculous though, really big, & perms were very in.

90's: Hard for me to describe, so here's a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s_in_fashion

Good luck, I hope I helped! =)

Daniel asks…

Ideas please! For sexy 50's movie star style, party?

Hi everyone,

Ok so Im celebrating my birthday soon, it's my 18th so I want it be really special

I am looking to go with a themed party, I want it fun and sexy The kind of idea I want is... well it's hard to explain really.... you know the women from the 20's and 30's? That kind of movie star sexiness they had? I want it like that

I am quite full figured, so I think I would look great in say a fitted dress with some cleavage, or fitted black shirt and pencil skirt, with killer black heels, red lipstick. There will be jazz music and the men will be in black suits.

So, if anyone knows of anyone plus-size online stores what will do these kind of costumes, or dresses, that are beautiful, sexy and elegant, and also available to me in the UK, let me know!

Mandy asks…

How many mid-age people have trouble w/friends (who are your own mid-age peers) telling you look "so old"?!?

I accept myself for who I am. I'm not the 25,35,45 yr old I was - I'm now in my 50's. I worked in entertainment in my younger yrs & had above avg appearance. Now, I'm an avg 50 something person w/no facelift & fatter than I was by about 30 lbs. I have had "old friends" tell me that I've "really gone downhill," "better lose weight," "you're not the person I remember," and "What Happened?" I have heard worse things get back to me about things said behind my back.

Yes, I used to be young, beautiful, better off financially, and more ready & able to entertain & take care of everyone, I moved on. I am now 50 something, sagging to some extent, slightly overweight (a woman's size 12), & Ok w/it.

I have sold many of my old costumes & retired from entertainment. They ask me "Why . . . are you depressed?!?" I say, "No, none of those fit anymore, I'll never use them & I have a new career." Still, I get frowns, grimaces, head-shaking, & now they no longer want to talk to me.

andre1 answers:

If your friends are truly saying that...UGH!! Some friends!!

But no, sorry. Most people think I am actually in my 30's and I am 44. And guess what? I haven't had any surgery, either.

Though I can't imagine that makes you feel very good. I guess if you were like a stripper or something....the mindset of your 'peers' might still be in that venue, but I would say...as long as you are happy about yourself then who cares what they say? .

Drop your friends. That'll make you at least 300lbs lighter, right there!!

Your Questions About Grease Cast

January 24, 2012

Charles asks…

What type/kind of cigarettes does the cast of Grease smoke?

or Grease 2? I've just always been curious about that.

andre1 answers:

U will most likely never know cause they are not allowed to broadcast it

George asks…

Healthiest way to grease antique, heavy, almost cast-iron cupcake pan?

The pan has 8 shapes, 4 of each suit if the cards (hearts, spades,etc). I'm tracing the bottoms and making wax-paper shapes to help, but what about the sides?
The girl at the counter told me to use a lot of Crisco, etc.
But if the bottom will come out, can I use a lite coating? Even Pam?
The tin is heavy liek cast-iron, but is light gray.

andre1 answers:

Crisco helps seal and glaze

Mary asks…

What is the best oil/fat/grease to season a cast iron pan with?

andre1 answers:

Commercial vegetable oil (Wesson or Mazola) is just fine. Actually the cheaper the oil, the "better the burn." Olive oil, sunflower, safflower and peanut oil (watch out if people with allergies will eat from this) and even corn oil will work.
Lard or bacon grease will usually give a softer coating which will wear off sooner than if vegetable oil is used.
The trick is once you get the "gummy layer" on, is to then bake the cast iron at no less than 500 degree to carbonize the oil layer.

Linda asks…

I have really thick grease left on my cast iron pan. Can you tell me how to clean it?

My mother cooked pork on this pan last night and was too tired to clean it herself. How can I clean this without soap? Should I fill the sink with very hot water and scrub the heck out of it with a Brillo pad? I can't put it in the dishwasher because it will get ruined.

andre1 answers:

Try using Arm & Hammer baking soda. Its really good at cleaning grease. Its also excellent for polishing silver without the scratches because its non abrasive, and it leaves your hands super soft. No harsh chemicals. Just put it in the pan dry, add a little water and when its a paste, just scrub. You can use a regular sponge. Good Luck!

I'm sure you're wonderful and beautiful. But if you want to get people to answer your questions, please use some punctuation and the Shift key. It is too difficult to read your Q and so no one will.

As far as boys, just remember, only hang with kind boys who respect you. The rest will give you misery!

Lots of Love, Good Luck, and Best Wishes!!

Your Questions About Grease 2

January 21, 2012

Paul asks…

Why wasnt BeeGees involved again for Grease 2?

Why wasnt BeeGees involved again for Grease 2, after giving some of the best songs of the century in Grease 1?

andre1 answers:

As far as I can tell, the Bee Gees - specifically Barry Gibb - were only involved with the main title song "Grease".

Http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077631/soundtrack

EDIT
Looking through the cast and crew for the two movies, it appears that only a couple of producers and the choreographer (filling the role of director) returned for the second movie.

From everything I know, Grease 2 was nothing but a money grab attempting to capitalize on the success of the original movie.
Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_2

Ken asks…

Grease 2....?

so i was flipping the channels today and saw that it was on. sure it was cheesy and could never hold a candle to the original but are there any fans of this one and why. who was your favorite character and why and what was your favorite song. i loved it well b/c it's the sequel and i was an early fan of michelle so i'd have to say stephanie was my favorite character b/c she was independent and stood up for herself. reproduction and whose that guy.

andre1 answers:

I have to admit to enjoying this movie when it was on VHS. My friends and I would watch it at sleepovers and sing the 'Girl For All Seasons'. Of course we knew all the words to all the songs. My favorite character was either the Paulette Rebchuck (sexy blonde who loves Adrian Zmed) or her little sister Dolores who tags along every where. Back then I was a real film connoisseur (not), of course I was only 15.

You want real cheese? Released the same year - The Pirate Movie - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084504/

Mandy asks…

In Grease 2, was Michelle Phiffer dating Maxwell Caulfeld the straight A English student that she fell in love?

Was Michelle Phiffer dating the cool-rider English student named Micheal in the movie Grease 2, in real life?

andre1 answers:

Sorry no Maxwell Caulfield was not dating Michelle Phiffer in real life, the film was made about 1982. Maxwell Caulfield was already married to Juliet Mills for over 2 years by the time the film was made, and they are still married today.

Your Questions About Grease Costumes Pink Ladies

January 20, 2012

David asks…

What are some unique (non slutty), coordinating halloween costumes for 2 16 year old girls?

I promised my cousin if he is Shaemus (the wrestler) for halloween i will go down and help him get ready and go trick or treating with him. That being the case, me and my best friend would like to dress in coordinating halloween costumes. We do not want to wear anything too revealing or slutty. I would like for it to be something really original and unique and not something that is easily bought at a party store. An example of something like that would be the pink ladies from grease. Its a unique costume but not something you would first think of for a teenager. I cannot be this however because a few girls from my school were that last october. Please give me your best ideas! thanks!!
If this makes a difference-- My friend is black. So if there were 2 people and one is black, that would make it an even better costume. thanks!

John asks…

I'm having a grease wedding theme and i need decorating ideas and help finding clip art for my invitation?

andre1 answers:

I personally love themed weddings. People can be pretty harsh about theme weddings on here simply because they are not personally comfortable with the idea for their own wedding. As I say to each their own. Just because they prefer a traditional wedding over a themed event doesn't make yours wrong and theirs right. As long as you keep things in good taste and don't go overboard your theme will be just as beautiful and memorable. Hey, how many people can say they attended a Grease theme wedding! I think you have a fun theme for your wedding. I love the movie Grease. Not sure what your colors are but I hope you will be using lots of Pink (Pink Ladies) and Black (T-Birds) with White. Below are a few sites that have 50's (Grease) inspired decorations, invitations and ideas.

Good Luck with your planning and Congratulations!

George asks…

Help me with my new personal style!!?

Hey, I recently got this leather jacket and I'm getting a lot of compliments on it. Inspired by this and for other reasons, I really want to start buying clothes and have a "personal style" inspired by the people in Grease, like the Pink Ladies and the group of guys. I'm like the edgy but classic 50s-ish look too, like Converse and skinny dark jeans with it folded up a bit. The problem is I don't know where to start. Anyone know some cool pieces or outfits that fits this style?

andre1 answers:

Polyvore would be perfect for you. They have sets of styles and you can get so many ideas. Here are just a few that seem to match what you were saying;

I don't wanna go through the process of returning them, so please don't answer as such and please don't answer "lose weight". I'm five two and ninety five pounds so...yeah....So, what I normally do is lie down on my bed (after putting some special lotion on my legs to help grease 'em uppp haha and then some baby powder then perfume on top) and...wel you get the picture.

If I struggle enough, I think I can get them on. can anybody give me any tips on how to get really tight jeans on?

Mark asks…

would lotion help with tight jeans?

If I struggle enough, I think I can get them on. can anybody give me any tips on how to get really tight jeans on?

andre1 answers:

Don't lotion your legs, will stain the material. If you really want to keep them what you can do is wet your jeans until damp not soaking wet, then you can put them on, the material will give way for your legs to go through!

Michael asks…

What's the name of this grease vs jocks movie?

Hi, there is this movie that I'm looking for, its about a gang of grease that always fight with the jocks. The jocks are the actual "bad guys" and the grease aren't bad people, it's only because that they're poor and don't have as good of a background as the jocks. Later there is this part about this 1 grease guy saves this little kid from a burning house.

No, the movie's name is not "Grease".

Thanks!

andre1 answers:

The Outsiders (1993): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086066/

Summary:
"When two poor greasers, Johnny, and Ponyboy are assaulted by a vicious gang, the socs, and Johnny kills one of the attackers, tension begins to mount between the two rival gangs, setting off a turbulent chain of events."

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_8zC9G3c2s

Ruth asks…

In The movie Grease who was the leader of the "Pink Ladies"?

Was it "Rizzo" or "Frenchy"? It's kind of hard to tell. They make it abundantly clear that Danny Zuko is the T- Birds leader & in Part 2 which I know most people didn't think was all that it was obvious "Stephanie Zinone" (Michelle Pfiefier) was the Pink Ladies' Leader & "Johnny Nogerelli" was the T- Birds leader. Frenchy is probably my favorite. She was just so funny & she was in part 1 & 2. I also liked how only she knew Michael as the "cool rider". Anyway was Frenchy or Rizzo the leader in part 1?

andre1 answers:

I would say Rizzo because before "Summer Nights" Frenchy is talking to Rizzo & the other Pink Ladies about letting her join & they're not sure if she's "Pink Lady material".
