I went and saw the movie Easy A this weekend with my sister. Yes, it's a chick flick. Yes, I liked it. Don't judge me.

Anyway, I think the message of the movie 'good girl gone bad girl' is a great example of the 'bad girl' image we talked about in class. Here's a little preview of the movie:

We've got dark lipstick, provocative clothing, heels and scandalous behavior.  We've got ourselves a bad girl.  I know I could have found a billion movie clips that show bad girls being well, bad girls; but I chose this one because it shows the evolution of good girl to bad girl.  It shows that maybe we all have a little bad girl in us?

Here are a few examples of modern day bad girls in pop culture.  They smoke, wear black clothing and sky high heels, don't give a damn and are smokin' hot...the perfect bad girl.

Megan Fox

Actress -- mostly roles where she is the sexy bad girl

Taylor Momsen

Gossip Girl actress

Rocker

All around "Bad Ass"

Courtney Love

The original bad girl

I think that the girl girl vs. bad girl saga will always be prevalent in our society.  Bad girls are the ones guys fantasize about, good girls are the ones they bring home to mom and dad.  Bad girls are the mysterious, unstable, crazy lovers; good girls are the steady girlfriends because they don't have tons of issues...at least not on the surface.  I think deep down, good girls have a part of them that really are secret bad girls.  And maybe once and a while they let their closet bad girl come out and play.
