Tease - The Backstory



Tease - The Backstory

Molly Ringwald as Claire Standish & Judd Nelson as John Bender

This collection of stories is dedicated with love to a fellow "green", Cat McNair, BMC '99.

Cat and I summered together in 1996 in the same house on South Warner Road in Bryn Mawr, watching this movie again and again, analyzing it from all angles from color palette to set design to dialogue to body language.

We both agreed that John Bender (played by Haverford alumnus, Judd Nelson) was the sexiest character we'd seen onscreen yet, and we loved the verbal sparring between him and Claire Standish (played by Molly Ringwald).

The seeds of this collection were born out of too many long nights drinking massive quantities of Diet Coke and wondering what happened before and after the events that took place on that cold March morning.

I lost touch with Cat as the years passed and we went on to different majors and circles of friends, but she was one of the funniest ladies I ever, ever had the pleasure of sharing a house with.

I miss her dearly...
