If you still don't believe Beetlejuice was considered a coming of age / girlhood to womanhood / sexual awakening story, here are some other movies from the 80s where an underage girl was paired with a much older man.

All have similar themes of an innocent girl being tempted by the older man, which forces them to step away from familiarity and venture into the unknown.

The Company of Wolves (1984)

Sarah Patterson (12 years old) / Micha Bergese (39 years old)

Legend (1985)

Mia Sara (16 years old) / Tom Cruise (22 years old) / Tim Curry (39 years old)

Labyrinth (1986)

Jennifer Connelly (14 years old) / David Bowie (39 years old)

Beetlejuice (1988)

Winona Ryder (15 years old) / Michael Keaton (36 years old)

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)

Robin Williams' appearance was an uncredited cameo* and I was absolutely delighted by it when I saw this movie in the theatre in 1988.

*which was actually kept secret in the days before the internet was in every home

Hi Adira!

Would you rather be an extra in an Oscar-winning movie or the lead in a box office bomb?

Hi, Kat. *cuddles*

I'll pick the box office bomb. Bombs often become cult classics and are some of my favorites. The Adventures of Baron von Munchausen. Rocky Horror. Children of Men. Shawshank.

Listen. Labyrinth was a box office bomb. And if it means I get to wear a pretty dress and stare longingly in Jareth's eyes as he leads me around a mad mad dance floor, I am totally in.

The Many Births of Venus 🐚

From the film The Adventures of Baron Munchausen to Aurora’s music video Exist for Love, the Venus has been an icon of love and beauty for ages.

But who is this muse? And why are we so enamored with her?

From a garden wall at the Casa della Venere in Conchiglia, Pompeii, before AD 79

Venus was a Roman Goddess of known for her captivating beauty and romantic wiles. She was worshipped as the ancestor of the Romans for hopes of love, fertility, and prosperity.

Her Greek counterpart, Aphrodite, was also known for her seductive charm as the goddess of love.

Venus had numerous epithets, but the most favored -and typically depicted- one is the Venus Anadyomene, an aquatic figure reminiscent of the siren or mermaid. 🧜‍♀️

She had ties to Dionysus, the gods of wine - a dynamic duo🍷❣️

Her symbols include the rose🌹 (how fitting), myrtle 🌿(believed to be an aphrodisiac), the fishing rod🎣 (she’s a catch 😉), and the scallop shell 🐚 (a symbol of female genitalia)

To point out the obvious, she’s a hyper-sexualized figure of desire.

It’s no wonder why the female nude was a favored subject of art: the woman figure is lovely to depict. However, Venus is an icon of its power; the power to influence society with the medium of the feminine form. The inspiring image deeply moves us, motivates us, captivates us. It is the perfect symbol of love and might. It is a reminder of birth and origin; the sweet beginnings of life and the strength it took to bring it here. It is an image of the intimacy we all long for: to be known, cherished, and desired. And that is why the Venus is a timeless staple of the human experience.

Okay that’s great and all, but why is her birth so important?

Oh yes, of course let me get back on track:

Venus - born of seafoam, blown to the shore in a shell by wind deities Zephyr and Aura, clothed with roses by Flora, the Hora of Spring - is fully grown. Having skipped adolescence and in a perpetual state of virginity, she is the perfect candidate for the position of sex-goddess. She is the crown of creation - the magnum opus of all existence - the pièce de résistance of divinity. Basically, she’s the cherry on top; the cream of the crop. 🌸🍒

Those moments before her birth must have felt like the *drumroll please* before the most magnificent thing you’ve ever beheld was flashed before your eye-holes. 🥁TA-DA!✨It was the most ground-breaking, fire-cracking, bomb-dropping moment in all collective history.🎆 Everyone must have been cheering, clapping, and loudly crying “This is what we were WAITING for!”👏 It was THAT monumental -at least for the Romans worshippers.

Her birth was like the moment your Amazon delivery FINALLY makes its way to your doorstep. At long last, Love and Beauty are here to stay! 💕📦💨
