Whos That Girl?
  • Orion Pictures
  • Who’s That Girl?

Hollywood Theatre is continuing its “Fashion in Film” series, which is curated by Portland Mercury expatriate Marjorie Skinner and Portland Monthly‘s Eden Dawn, with Desperately Seeking Susan. I don’t know about you, but I haven’t seen this movie since the ’80s, and the only things I remember are Madonna and the over-the-top fashion, which is obviously the point of showing it. The audience member who pulls off “the most Madonna look” will be given an as-yet-to-be-determined-but-sure-to-be-awesome prize.
Saturday January 23rd, 7 pm, $8, Hollywood Theatre: 4122 NE Sandy Blvd, advance tickets can be purchased here
