The babe with the power.
If you are a '90s girl, you have seen Labyrinth, the fantasy/adventure movie starring a young Jennifer Connelly and a not-so-young David Bowie.
You know what I'm talking about. You know where this is going.
This is the movie that made so many young girls secretly aroused by spiky-haired rulers of goblins. Labyrinth wasn't supposed to be a sexy movie BUT OH HOW IT WAS.
Let us now examine the unspoken relationship you had with David Bowie ...

We first meet 15-year-old Sarah in the park where she is rehearsing lines. In costume.
This is crucial. As children, we saw an artistic girl in a pretty dress. But what we didn't realize is that Sarah is in fact a huge geek. Huge. She will be going to Ren faires and role playing for the rest of her life. And there's nothing wrong with that! But this is how we began to identify deeply — as fellow uncool people who thought we were cool — with her. We are her.

Then comes the haunting Jareth, aka King of the Goblins, aka David Bowie.
He has taken Sarah's baby brother hostage. But is he truly evil?

No! He's toying with her. Toyyyying. This is obviously a sex game.
OH yes. We want it.
