It Follows: Jamie “Jay” Height

Posted byThrifty SubversionPosted inHalloween Movie OutfitsTags:, , , , , , , , ,

I am a big fan of It Follows. It made an impression on me the first time I saw it, and I still enjoy it when I rewatch it. If you’re into horror movies, you should definitely check it out. The cinematography is stunning. It is bleak af, but I appreciate that about it. Oh, also, while there is a lot of nudity and the main character, Jaime “Jay” Height spends a good portion of the movie in her bra & panties, this is not a movie I would recommend if you’re trying to get some from your fellow movie-watcher.

When I started reading up on it, I liked it even more. My favorite pieces about this do include spoilers, so don’t read them unless you’ve seen it already.

Nails: Artificial Nails trimmed to Square Tips painted in Gia by Zoya

Bright Red Nails are seen on Jay throughout the movie and her X tattoo on her middle finger on her right hand is also shown prominently. I just drew it on with a black ballpoint pen.

I contemplated fashioning a non-functioning clamshell e-reader, but that’s really more for Yara’s character.

If I had access to any pristine vintage cars, I would have totally done some pics in and around them too!
