Dirty Dancing, the Facebook Game?

Kelly Schwarze — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:33:00 PDT

Understandably, Dirty Dancing is the gold standard for '80s romance movies. The coming-of-age story about a teenager's last Summer before college involves rebellion from parents, an older man, and some intense dance scenes. Are you ready for the film's 21st-century incarnation? Presenting, the Dirty Dancing Facebook game.

With over 10 million page fans, Dirty Dancing is the ninth ranked movie on Facebook, a fact that the game designers hope will drive fans to play as part of Baby and Johnny's world. Taking a cue from Farmville, players in the Dirty Dancing game act as managers and caretakers at the Kellerman's Resort, the film's Summer vacation setting. Build the resort into a bustling, romantic destination and offer guests the same activities as in the film. The major events for players to host and up their overall score is, you guessed it, a dance show. Sound like something you're into, Facebook gamers?

Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Dirty Dancing Quote?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 07:46:33 PDT

With Summer in full swing, I got to thinking about movies that are set during the season. Although it takes place in 1963, Dirty Dancing still captures the spirit of Summer with its vacationing family, infectious stream of jams, and, of course, one of the most beloved tales of Summer love ever captured on film. The movie also provides a long list of memorable quotes. Check out a few of my favorites, and chime in with your own below!

"I carried a watermelon." - Baby
"God wouldn't have given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake them!" - Penny
"Nobody puts Baby in the corner." - Johnny

It's a Cult Movie Halloween: Have the Time of Your Life as Baby

Jaime Richards — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 07:00:35 PDT

Last year for Halloween, I had witches on the mind, but this year, it's all about the cult movies. Since Jennifer Grey has been a force to be reckoned with on this season's Dancing With the Stars, let's kick off this series by paying tribute to the role that made her famous: Baby Houseman from Dirty Dancing.

There are lots of different '60s-style costume options for Baby. When it comes to her beauty look, her curly light brown bob stands out most. Just be sure to tease the underlayers of the back of your hair (or wig) like crazy to achieve her triangular-shaped coiffure.

While Baby never wears all that much makeup, a lipstick shade in a brownish-pink, rust, or pretty rose tone, paired with a subtly frosted pink, purple, golden, or taupe shadow will do the trick. Top off with some soft pink blush, topaz-colored liner, and get up out of that corner and do the pachanga with your lover boy.

Back to Cool: Dirty Dancing

If you're feeling back to cool, then I've got another dose of inspired ensembles. This time, I'm channeling the nostalgia of one of my favorite film classics, Dirty Dancing. Oh, who could forget Baby and her coming-of-age quest in the Summer of '63? Once she meets Johnny it's buh-bye family fun, hello sexy dance parties. But aside from sultry Summer love, it's also a study in easy, retro-fied chic. Steal Baby's signature style with this Seven For All Mankind Oversize Shirt ($155), or do like Baby's big sis, Lisa, and try preppy pearls and a pretty party dress like this ModCloth Periwinkle Prance Dress ($99). Just remember - "nobody puts Baby in a corner!" Shop the style by clicking on the items.

A Fabby Halloween: Baby

FabSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:50:22 PDT

What better way to pay tribute to the late Patrick Swayze than with an ode to his "Baby" in Dirty Dancing? The story of a rich and innocent teenage girl turned infatuated woman will always be engraved in my memory. My favorite scene was when Frances "Baby" Houseman told Swayze she carried a watermelon - hilarious. Replicate Baby's innocent '80s look in a white Summer dress and matching heels, or with high-waist denim shorts and a cropped white top. Oh yes, don't forget the tight curls and sexy dance moves!

Baby May Come Out of Her Corner For a Dirty Dancing Remake

BuzzSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:30:00 PDT

It's starting to feel like a week never goes by without news of a movie remake, and I have a feeling you're all going to have some strong opinions about this one. According to a tweet from Production Weekly, there's a remake of Dirty Dancing in the works. Details are still sketchy, but apparently the script will be written by Julia Dahl. Personally, I'm a little worried about messing with a classic - wasn't the Havana Nights sequel enough?

On the other hand, I have to admit that I'm looking forward to the remake of Fame, with fresh talent and new 21st century setting (check out a hot new trailer after the jump). I was also impressed with Channing Tatum's spot-on impression of Patrick Swayze from a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure I can imagine new actors doing justice to the original - Dirty Dancing's '80s setting and utterly cheesy dialogue are inherent in its wonder. A couple of years ago, you all weighed in on who would make the perfect Baby and Johnny, but who would you cast now that it is really happening?

Buzz Gift Guide: Pop Culture T-Shirts For the Ladies

BuzzSugar — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 05:30:03 PST

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. This week is all about gifting your peers. Yesterday I suggested some gifts for the Sex and the City fan, and today I've rounded up a few of those gifts that keep on giving: TV- and movie-themed t-shirts.

I like wearing shirts with funny TV and movie lines on them because people are either like, "Ha! Yeah!" or "What is that from?" If it's the former, you've identified a fellow fan and if it's the latter, you've started a conversation about one of your favorite shows/movies. It's win-win, really.

Got an '80s movie fan in your circle of friends? Check out these t-shirts inspired by Dirty Dancing and Sixteen Candles. Here's a Twilight-inspired t-shirt for anyone you know who's into the movie or the book series (it cracked me up, anyway). I love this straightforward "Seriously" t-shirt from Grey's Anatomy, and this Lost inspired Dharma Orchid tee will work for a superfan. Finally, for the younger at heart I found this funny Juno t-shirt (I love the word "shenanigans") and Gossip Girl fans will rejoice when they find out someone stuck Blair's "mother-chucker" line on a shirt.

Jake Ryan Sixteen Candles t-shirt ($20.00)	Watermelon Dirty Dancing t-shirt ($22.00)
Grey's Anatomy ''Seriously'' Women's Tee ($19.95)	Lost Dharma Orchid Women's Tee ($24.95)
Juno What Other Shenanigans Junior's Tee ($19.95)	Bella's Doodle Women's Light T-Shirt ($17.99)	Gossip Girl/Chuck Bass Women's Dark T-Shirt ($24.99)
