Good Grooming for Girls (RiffTrax Shorts)


RiffTrax Year:  2022
Riffers:  Bridget Nelson, Mary Jo Pehl

Upon seeing her friend Rosemarie in the paper, our narrator can't help but admire how pretty she looks and how wonderful her figure is.  She immediately asks Rosemarie if she can spend the night at her house, potentially to nurture the idea that she might like her more than a friend.  But her seduction techniques can't make it out of first gear, as they begin talking fashion and how Rosemarie prepares her garments and her styles to look as fashionable and beautiful every single day.

This short is a simple guide for young women to learn how to get themselves beautiful and stay that way as this white male driven society won't allow homeliness and such nonsense.  Go buy yourself something pretty.  How handy is it?  Couldn't tell you, but it's mostly about pre-planning your wardrobe and making sure it looks tidy.  I'm not sure we needed a short for that, but here it is.

Whether this short is necessary or not for women to know how to dress, Bridget and Mary Jo are on fire throughout, mocking the quaint grooming tips and how youth obsessed it is.  Riffs come fast and heavy on the simple production, from noting that up close that as perfect as she might be, Rosemarie's hand double is undoubtedly male as they comment on her "man thumb."  The short also includes a little bit of dirtying up how neat and proper these girls are...

"I used to think Rosemarie was naturally attractive."
"Now I know it was just the booze talking."

They also get frustrated as the short refuses to end, instead continuing as the narrator goes over what she learned from Rosemarie and attributes it to her daily life, because we all had to hear this a second time.  Good Grooming for Girls is a ten minute delight and features the duo of Bridget and Mary Jo at their best.  It's well worth a pick up for all RiffTrax fans!
