Amanda Righetti joins us this month as our Friday the 13^th inspired fashion spread; Crystal Lake Couture.  I’ve personally been a fan since her reoccurring role as Hailey Nichol on The O.C.  We’ve been anxiously awaiting her portrayal of Whitney Miller on Friday the 13^th, coming out, of course, this Friday (and counting down) the 13^th. This latest installment, directed by Marcus Nispel, whose terrifically terrifying 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre kick-started the current glut of horror remakes, classically follows a group of teens and twenty-something’s at the now abandoned Camp Crystal Lake (the site from the original 1980 phenomenon), including Amanda, Jared Padalecki, Aaron Yoo, Willa Ford, and Jonathan Sadowski, (among others) as they stumble across the path of the murderous, disfigured Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears). In addition to abandoning the trips to hell, outer space, or Manhattan that later installments took in lieu of the series’ original summer-camp locale, the new film offers plenty of what made the series so satisfying during its heyday, including nudity, and you guessed it, exactly 13 murders – although we can’t say whether one of them is the inexhaustible Voorhees. Does Amanda’s character make it out of Camp Crystal Lake alive? Well, we won’t spill, but we do know she came to life here in our fashion spread evoking some of the bloody fun, thrills, and chills that is F13.  [[Show as slideshow]]
