Lydia Deetz - Beetlejuice
"My whole life is a dark room. One big dark room."

Lelaina Pierce - Reality Bites
"He's so cheesy, I can't watch him without crackers."


Charlotte Flax - Mermaids
"Please God don't let me fall in love and want to do disgusting things..."


Veronica Sawyer - Heathers
"Dear Diary, my teen-angst bullshit now has a body count."

Kim - Edward Scissorhands
Kim: "Hold me." Edward: "I can't."

Winona Ryder: 90s indie movie goddess and inspiration to pale girls everywhere. Natalie and I both have a love for most of her earlier films, especially Heathers. What is it about Winona that makes her so appealing? I think it's her combination of spunkiness and vulnerability. Plus her best roles are girls who are a little bit odd: from god fearing Charlotte Flax in Mermaids to teen killer Veronica Sawyer in Heathers. Let's just not mention that unfortunate shoplifting incident OK?
