Photo reblogged from gallivanting & grass with 7 notes

tangentsandthe: top five spirit animal 4ever. For being someone who isn’t so much into warm weather or beaches or not wearing eight layers of clothes at once (I like all of those things, albeit in small doses), I really really love the Beach Party movies. As in, I want to live in a Beach Party movie. Nobody appears to have jobs or school or cash flow problems or a hair out of place. They just hang out and have dance parties on the beach EVERY DAY, and when they need conflict of some kind, Frankie and Annette pick some kind of fight with each other about surfing or marriage or who is jealous of which musical guest. Also there’s a mermaid in Beach Blanket Bingo. A MERMAID.
