Brat pack sweetheart Molly Ringwald talks about her new novel, jazz and her surreal life since the Breakfast Club days
Molly Ringwald peruses the rack of designer clothing pulled in as potential attire for her imminent photoshoot, noting to the photographer that she'd prefer to avoid anything that might come off as being "too glamorous". She immediately gravitates towards a lovely pink silk-shantung sweetheart-neckline number, reaching out to grab it.
"That one's really pretty," offers the stylist.
"But it's pink," murmurs Molly.
"Got it," the stylist smiles.
"No pink for you these days?" I ask.
"I've kind of had enough pink in my life," Molly deadpans, clacking the dress hanger down in the reject section without a second thought.
Everyone laughs, everyone gets it. That chapter has long since closed.
Many novelists might not mind an extra dose of glamour, and surely few would have such a knee-jerk aversion to...

Breakfast Club stars Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy reunited in New York City Monday to remember director John Hughes, who died of a heart attack at age 50 last summer.
The Brat Pack -- who haven't made a public appearance as a group since the Oscars last May -- reflected on the film and the state of their careers 25 years later. (The only one missing: Emilio Estevez, who played jock Andrew Clark.)
Ringwald says "Club" is still the definitive teen movie. "There’s been nothing to replace it," she told UsMagazine.com. "Until something comes along that can hold a candle to these movies, they will continue to be what they are." She has a few ideas where her character, good girl Claire Standish, would be today: "Maybe she’s been married a few times. Hopefully she's happy." Ringwald, who is wed to writer Panio Gianopoulos...
