What was Marty doing


with her arms above her head at the sleepover when Jan was singing that toothpaste song? I still don't know if she was supposed to be doing some kind of exercise or dancing or what it was.

I'm hardly the expert on this, but it would appear to be that Marty is doing some sort of breast exercises,
either to make them more perky or try and make them bigger.

reply

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's it.

Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that I'll be over here looking through your stuff.

And you'd be right. At the time, the Sweater Girl trope was in full flow - and a mental chant would run - "I must, I must, I must improve my bust"

Chest Excerises---Way back then, women used to do those flex excercise to firm up their boobs so they won't sag. Although Marty was ...ehhh "big" so I guess she had a lot to worry about.

Marty was the hottest Pink Lady.

She was flexing to check her bounce per ounce!

She was trying to make her boobs bigger.

Dinah Manoff couldn't dance. That is why she was sitting during "Summer Nights".
