Other Vexilloids in The Incredible Shrinking Woman 1981




Unique 1980s tassel balls are on the curtains of Pat Kramer's Kitchen while she is literally on a hand soap box. They are of that early 1980s garish pinky pom pom style, of people on the well to do happy pappy path.  The colour and tone of this movie is like a happy version of Edward Scissor Hands.







 Notice the Burger Power logo; it is attention to detail like this, with extras that make a movie great.  Who knows how many others props and scenes that got lost during the editing process?  Perhaps it was made to cover up another official company that refused free advertising in a movie like M&Ms for 1981's E.T?

A quirky Shrinking Woman logo is created when a news reporter speaks about the strange phenomenon.  It is pink question mark with woman 'bathroom' symbol in white upon it.   As the news does, things are often interpreted through another lens that was not a part of the original story.  The reporter equates the shrinking woman with the shrinking role of motherhood.




A protest banner made from a grocery bad with Pat Kramer's face.  Wow!  The kudos to the props.  They did a great job.  This movie was like an Edward Scissor Hands with a delightfully sparkly tone.
