Get ready to bend and snap as we're celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the movie Legally Blonde in this episode of The Uncanny Lens! Join us as we explore the self-concept reflections in this timeless classic, where Elle Woods, portrayed fabulously by Reese Witherspoon, shows us the power of embodying a strong and favorable self-concept and staying true to our authentic selves.
Throughout this delightful discussion, we will touch on some of the ways stereotypes and our culture, circa 2001, are reflected back to us in this film and how that can feel icky to us now and how it also can feel nostalgic because we realize how it influenced our own self-concepts.
If you're a Jennifer Coolidge devotee, you'll love as we sink our teeth into the characters of Elle, Emmet, Warner, Vivienne, and Paulette, analyzing how their self-concepts evolve and lead to manifesting their desires (not so much in Warner's case). Discover how Elle's specific person journey was ultimately a journey about Elle stepping into a new version of herself.
So, grab the pink accessories you have on hand from Barbie -mania and get ready to unlock the secrets of self-concept and manifestation with Elle Woods and the gang! 💖🎀
