Olivia Newton-John has died of breast cancer, after a long struggle with the illness. ’80s girls, she ignited all our dreams when we were kids. From Xanadu to Rydell High, she took us there.
We need to give Olivia a sendoff worthy of a beautiful blonde double-threat singer/actress. We need to get a hashtag trending.
I’ve come up with the perfect one to memorialize Olivia Newton John’s versatility, as epitomized by her journey from sheltered Sandra to leather-clad Sandy, all in the name of romantic compromise. Not bad for a high school girl.
I want to make Sandy’s iconic line, “Tell me about it, stud,” trend as a hashtag. Here it is: #tellmeaboutitstud Make it so.
