On Monday August 8, 2022 the entertainment industry lost beloved singer, songwriter, actress, activist Dame Olivia Newton John at the age of 73. Most of us know her for her role as Sandy Olsson in the box office hit "Grease." This cosplay is in her honor and in respect for her memory. My aim here is to capture the beauty and fun of her transformative scene at the end of the film when she surprises Danny Zuko (played by John Travolta) at the fair.
Danny : [singing] ♫I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losing control, cause the power you're supplying, It's electrifyin'!♫
♫ You better shape up
'Cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up
You better understand
To my heart I must be true
Nothin' left, nothin' left for me to do
You're the one that I want (you are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey
The one that I want (you are the one I want)
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The one I need (the one I need)
Oh, yes indeed (yes, indeed) ♫
— Dame Olivia Newton John & John Travolta, You're The One That I Want (Grease soundtrack)
Danny : That's cool baby, you know how it is, rockin' and rollin' and what not.
Sandy : Danny?
Danny : That's my name, don't wear it out.
Sandy : What's the matter with you?
Danny : What's the matter with me, baby, what's the matter with you?
Sandy : What happened to the Danny Zuko I met at the beach?
Danny : Well I do not know. Maybe there's two of us. Why don't you take out a missing person's ad? Or try the yellow pages, I don't know.
Sandy : You're a fake and a phony and I wish I never laid eyes on you!
VIBE:
[first lines]
Sandy : I'm going back to Australia; I might never see you again.
Danny : Don't... don't talk that way, Sandy.
Sandy : But it's true! I've just had the best summer of my life, and now I have to go away. It isn't fair.
[Danny starts kissing her]
Sandy : Danny, don't spoil it!
Danny : It's not spoiling it, Sandy, it's only making it better.
Sandy : Danny... is this the end?
Danny : Of course not; it's only the beginning.

♫ Look at me there has to be something more than what they see! Wholesome and pure, oh so scared and unsure, a poor man's Sandra Dee. Sandy, you must start anew. Don't you know what you must do? Hold your head high, take a deep breath and sigh...Goodbye to Sandra Dee! ♫
