I decided to post on a very symbolic piece of art for me, the cover of the Legally Blonde DVD. In Legally Blonde Elle Woods has it all. She is rich, beautiful, blonde, has big boobs, president of her sorority, Delta Nu, and won the Miss Hawaiian Tropics contest. She even has the perfect, dashingly handsome and rich boyfriend, Warner Huntington III. When Warner visits with his Grandmother Elle gets it in her head that Warner is going to propose and that his Grandmother visited to personally hand over the ring. What Elle discovers is that Warner doesn't think she is serious enough and looks how a future Senator's wife should look. Warner dumps Elle and informs her that he is going to Harvard Law. Elle gets it in her head to steal Warner back by going to Harvard and proving him wrong, what she doesn't know is that she will end up not only proving Warner wrong, but all of Harvard as well.
On the cover is a picture of Elle on the Harvard campus in a sexy hot pink sparkly dress with her little chiahuahua, Bruiser, right beside her all in hot pink as well. In the background is a boringly dressed group of Harvard Law students all frowning and gawking at the blonde Elle. The cover also states "Boldy going where no blonde has gone." In my opinion, the cover states how confident Elle is in herself and all people in general. You can do whatever you set your mind too. Elle stands for not being afraid to wear what you want when you want and acting the way that you want. Blonde symbolizes the power to not only turn heads, but be a powerful person in society as well. The cover shows Elle holding large law books as well, which says that just because she likes to look the way she does doesn't mean that she isn't serious about what she is doing. She is serious about her look and serious about being a law student. To sum things up, if all you see is how she looks, then you've missed the whole point.
