I was too little to see "Desperately Seeking Susan" (1985) when it came out and I never got around to seeing it on a Netflix/newtwork television type of occasion until last week. Never even knew what the plot was, only that Madonna was in it. But I could hardly pay attention to the action (bored housewife gets amnesia and wrongly thinks she's the free-spirited Downtown girl played by Madge), what with all the black rubber bracelets, oversize hair-bows, and lace bustiers. I don't know why 80s fashion, which is having a major resurgence, gets such a bad rap. It wasn't all shoulder pads and neon, people! Pre-Giuliani New York gets top billing here too for nostalgic New Yorkers.
