The Fabulous Stains Are "Putting Out" A DVD
Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains, the 1981 cult girlie punk film starring Diane Lane and Laura Dern as early riot grrrls urging their fellow women to "don't put out!" will finally get a non-theatrical release on DVD in September, just in time for all those hipster Halloween costumes to finally make sense:
Lane, rocking a skunk coif, belts A Waste of Time as female fans chant "We don't put out!" Stains inspired rockers from L7 and Bikini Kill to Courtney Love as it found an afterlife on bootlegs, cable and the art-house film circuit.
There are a few clips from The Fabulous Stains on YouTube, of course.
The Stains debut and Diane Lane reveals her skunk-hair:
The band takes over a mall. You can see these outfits on the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn to this day:
Spoiler alert: they sell out in the end.

"the sell out"
isn't that always the case.

The Stains are kind of preachy. I guess that's entertainment...?
