In addition to introducing us to a whole new stage in picking up boys, manicure Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge) and her ever-loyal client, She taught us a few things about the institution of the salon. Here are our three favorites: 1. The girls in the living room have more fun The hilarious and iconic scene of « Bend and Snap, » where she teaches everyone in the living room her safety trick, may not have fully captured reality (spontaneous group choreography isn`t really a regular thing if your clients aren`t professional dancers), but she pointed out that working in a salon is often a lot of fun. We mean, who hasn`t pumped Calvin Harris into their waiting room on a Friday afternoon? As Kang says, « Control images of Asian manicures. shedding light on one-dimensional representations of Asian migrant women. » [2] In the United States, there is rarely a distinction between different countries that fall under the umbrella of « Asia »; the image that comes to mind is usually that of a fair-skinned East Asian person. In addition, Asian immigrants and Asian Americans are also lumped together. So I wanted to look specifically at the history of why so many nail salons are run by Vietnamese, first- and second-generation immigrants. 1.

Morris, Regan. « How Tippi Hedren made Vietnamese refugees into nail salon magnates », BBC News, Los Angeles, (Blog), 3. May 2015, www.bbc.com/news/magazine-32544343. 5. Bates, Karen Grigsby. « Nailing The American Dream, With Polish, » NPR, (blog), June 4, 2012, www.npr.org/2012/06/14/154852394/with-polish-vietnamese-immigrant-community-thrives. Today, about half of nail technicians in the United States and about 80% in California are of Vietnamese descent. Many are direct descendants of this first class of women inspired by Hedren. In 2013, Nails Magazine published its 2012-2013 industry statistics,[3] which include figures on popular nail services, information on manicures and salons, and the economics of nail manufacturing through graphics. This information comes from surveys, surveys, and focus groups at their California headquarters. As the graph shows, Vietnamese salons are gradually making up the majority of nail professionals. Why are most nail salons owned by Vietnamese, especially in California? « I brought seamstresses and typists with me – in every way possible.
And they loved my nails. [5] In Northfield, which is 83.5% white and 4.5% Asian[1], the manicures at this salon are all Asian, especially Vietnamese. In this salon and many other similar salons, day-to-day business and service relationships « therefore portray some women as `natural` manicure providers and other women as legitimate beneficiaries of these services. »[2] 2. What happens in the living room stays in the living room In Elle`s favorite living room, serious dirt was poured on nail polish. Whether it was Paulette, who revealed that she had a crush on the postboy (Hubba, Hubba, did you look at those khaki shorts?) or Elle, who confessed that she doubted her career choice (Being cute .. or having a real job. That`s the question), he revealed the very real confessional code of the beauty salon: what is said in the salon stays in the salon. Unless it`s a real gossip gem, then it`s up for grabs.
While the history and direct impact of Hedren`s influence on the nail industry is obvious, less obvious is how the stereotype of the Vietnamese immigrant manicure found its way into mainstream society. In « Legally Blonde, » the main character speaks Vietnamese « fluently, » overhears his Vietnamese manicurists, and says, « That`s how they talk in my nail salon. » Although « Legally Blonde » is often described as « uplifting » and « feminist » due to the « sisterhood » between the two white female lead characters, the only Asian characters in the film are typed as those with broken English and in service roles. As Kang says, « Race and class are experienced in nail salons and other body service venues by differences in gendered bodywork performance. The simplified framework of « sisterhood is global » does not apply to women`s relationships through manicures. [2] Fifteen years ago, Legally Blonde introduced us to Elle Woods, a living, determined Californian who set herself the goal of studying law at Harvard (you know, the place for people who are boring, ugly, and serious). While most of the film is set on the East Coast, most of it was filmed here in Los Angeles. If you have an L.A. Inhabitants, chances are you`re probably in the same places as Elle sashayed without knowing it. Whether it`s the Delta Nu House, Harvard Law School, or the famous nail salon where Bend and Snap was born, below you`ll find some of the film`s most famous filming locations. Happy #LegallyBlonde15! About 40 years ago, actress Tippi Hedren visited a Vietnamese refugee camp called Hope Village in Northern California. Their manicured nails attracted the attention of women, mainly wives of high-ranking military officers.
Hedren, who said she was « trying to find vocations » for refugee women, brought in her personal manicure to teach a group of 20 refugees industry skills.[4] 3.2K likes, 25 comments.

In the musical, Paulette is very obsessed with Ireland and it seems like a happy place she can imagine. She dreams of dancing there with « a red-haired sailor named Brendan. » When she meets Kyle B. O`Boyle, she immediately loves him. However, she can`t muster the courage to talk to him. This prompts Elle to teach him, the rest of the show, the band and Snap. The interactions of emotional and physical body labor are commercialized, gendered and executed through a simple nail service. Power inequalities and structural hierarchical status (class, race, etc.) therefore allow some women to have more choices in shaping these relationships. Whether you`re a fan of the movie or not, every beautician has fun when she sees these infamous salon scenes in Legally Blonde.

3. You never know when salon expertise might come in handy Proof that complicated knowledge of beauty procedures shouldn`t be reserved exclusively for the salon – who can forget the infamous court scene where She triumphantly combined her legal and Thessaloniki expertise to bring a murderer to justice? The place is now a storefront occupied by a store called Empire Bikes, but Elle and Paulette connect via their cuticles in a lounge called Neptune`s Beauty Nook in the film. Not much is known about her life before the film, except that she had a longtime boyfriend named Dewey who threw her for another woman after 7 years. He kept his caravan and his « precious baby Rufus », a dog. During Legally Blonde, she finds the courage to get Rufus back from her ex. USC`s Bovard Auditorium and Trousdale Parkway Avenue were used to represent the Harvard campus. After Elle`s traumatic first day in law school, she sulks on a photographed bench behind the garden terrace of All Saints Church in Pasadena. « Isn`t the first cardinal rule of conservation of perms that it is forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after a perm, at the risk of deactivating the immonium thygocolate? And if you hadn`t washed your hair, wouldn`t you have heard the gunshot? Three of Caltech`s buildings were transformed into fictional sororities depicted in the film`s opening scene, including Delta Nu. Paulette uses it when she`s with Kyle, but as Kyle also bends down to drop the object, she breaks his nose. She then spends time with him in the hospital.
Kyle is very grateful for that, and that`s where Kyle and Paulette`s connection begins. Paulette later discovers that Kyle`s middle name is Brendan, similar to her fantasy, which makes her very happy. At this romantic Italian restaurant, Warner and Elle have their birthday dinner. The low-light setting is perfect for serious conversations and serious breakdowns. A little shy at first, Paulette quickly warms up with Elle and soon comes out of her shell and shows a funny and open-minded attitude. She has a dog named Rufus and treats him like family, much like Elle and Bruiser. Paulette tends to wear well-fitting and trendy clothes that are somewhat revealing. She also wears a lot of makeup. Like most of Elle`s friends, she is always ready to lend a hand. During Legally Blonde, she was very clumsy with her crush, a UPS employee named Kyle, who became awkward and searched around for words. She loves the Bend and Snap movement she taught him. Paulette is afraid of cheerleaders and says in the musical that cheerleaders scare her.
She has a daughter named Elle.

Okay, okay, your pedicure skills may not be out of jury duty anytime soon, but in the meantime, this move could help you get parking tickets.
