This month is all about discovering new blogs, meeting new friends, and spreading the word about the launch of my young adult novel, MY SOON-TO-BE SEX LIFE, (Bloomsbury Spark, June 2014) by participating in this mega, 26 posts blog challenge.
Since Charlie, the main character in my novel, is an aspiring screenwriter who has plotted her own devirginization campaign - one that doesn't go as scripted - I thought an appropriate theme for this month would be: an alphabetical romp through the good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright scary representations of virginity in film. Warning - be prepared for adult content / strong language if you follow my posts this month.
Join me over the next 26 days for some swoonworthy and/or cringeworthy cherry popper moments on the big screen. Check out the multitude of amazing A to Z bloggers via the challenge main page, HERE. And don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY at the end of this post!
M is for Mermaids (1990)
Both Cher and Winona Ryder are quirky as hell in this tale of a young girl who decides to become a nun and is perpetually embarrassed by her free-spirited mother. Bonus - the story is set in the 60s at the cusp of the sexual revolution.
The premise: "An unconventional single mother relocates with her two daughters to a small Massachusetts town in 1963, where a number of events and relationships both challenge and strengthen their familial bonds."
Great line: "Charlotte, I know you're planning a celibate life, but with half my chromosomes, I think that might be tough."
Soundtrack: Cher recorded a version of "It's in His Kiss" for the soundtrack and the music video is a promo for the film:
