I know, I'm sure I'm a week late on the blog world with this, but did you all catch HBO's Grey Gardens? Drew Barrymore was great, Jessica Lange was amazing, but the costumes were insane! It was interesting knowing the details behind how Edie and little Edie got to that point in their lives. The Jackie O thing was kind of cheesy. Anyway, catch it if you haven't already! Or be like me and Tivo it so you can watch it in 30 minute incriments when you have a spare moment. Which I pretty much never do, hence my just finishing it on Wednesday night. Took me 5 days. So pathetic.
Also, I moved. Which means that I cleaned out my closet, but also that my life is discombobulated beyond belief. Once I get everything in order, I'll do some long long long overdue outfit posts.

I thought it was pretty good. Of course, I loved the original, and was pretty sure HBO was going to rape it beyond recognition, but they didn't! So that was a relief.
The HBO film, starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lang is certainly a perfect tribute to both the original documentary and these two wonderful woman.
I was told right after filming of the HBO film wrapped up in the fall of 2007, that I would be blown away at the last scene, where Edie sings Tea For Two at Reno Sweeny, and I was ! I had supplied the film company with the only recording in existence of Edie singing the tune, only this wasn't from her actual performance at the club, but rather her singing it just for me at one of my many visits to Grey Gardens, more than 30 years ago. Drew sang it exactly, phrase for phrase as I have it on tape. Edie and I actually met that night at Reno Sweeny, and my relationship with Grey Gardens has now spanned over 3 decades.
