In the movie The Long Kiss Goodnight, Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) is a small town school teacher who suffers from amnesia living with her boyfriend and young daughter.  After she thwarts a would-be attacker in her own home, Samantha discovers she is actually a highly-trained CIA assassin named Charlene “Charly” Baltimore.  Her transformation into her true self becomes especially evident when Charly ditches her long, red locks for a short bleach blonde bob and she begins tracking down the bad guys responsible for kidnapping her daughter.

Thelma Yvonne Dickinson played by Geena Davis is a housewife living in Arkansas. She married young and is in an abusive relationship where she does not get much if any freedom. Her best friend is Louise who is a waitress and works for a living. Thelma’s character is desperate to experience an exciting new life as she has been trapped in a life she never really wanted. She, however, tends to overcompensate with drinking. Within the nightfall of their weekend getaway, Thelma has a traumatic incident that only Louise could save her from. The two go from a pleasant vacation to a drastic measure runaway to escape the US and find safety in Mexico. Thelma’s style is a little more glamourous than Louise. Use blue eyeshadow and a substantial amount of any rose-colored blush. This is a warm-weather outfit but you could add a leather, suede, or jean jacket if you live in a colder climate. What completes this look is having a partner! There is no Thelma without Louise and vice versa.
