T-shirts are amazing. Case closed.

Dissidents of the shag, no one likes you.

There was a scene in the movie of Joan spray painting this t-shirt with a stencil  with safety pins spilled all over the floor for the necklace.

Dazed mag worthy

This movie was amazing. Kristen Stewart gets a lot of flack for some reason (I guess that's Twilight, but, I mean, she has to pay the bills), but she was Joan Jett. Dakota Fanning had to play such a range I think she might have exploded if she was a mere mortal. The performances reenacted in the film were spot on, right down to Cherie Currie's microphone-swing-around-the-leg move. Of course the music was face melting (yes, that is a School of Rock reference, I'm still just a kiddie), and creatively was a mix of not only The Runaways, but also peers like Nick Gilder, influences like Suzi Quatro, and punk predecessors like The Stooges. The covers of Runaways' songs by Dakota and KStew sounded close enough to the real thing to be honoring, but different enough to be unique to the movie. 

The rush of living a full on rockstar life, touring in Japan, at fifteen, sixteen, or seventeen, is crazy. But it's not glamorized throughout the whole thing, the consequences are shown too, which keeps it from being gratuitous. I see how brave they were, performing all-out, so young in front of the world. And also because of the hostile environment for women they jumped into. They had to be extra tough because as their nasty manager put it men wanted women "in their kitchen or in their bed." The music industry is hard already, but when you add in that they were young, women in a blatantly sexist culture, and had no guidance except from a manager who only cared about his money, it's so cool they made it.

And, I have to... THE CLOTHES. This wasn't leather, it was LEATHA.
