Grey Gardens in Spring: Channeling Your Inner Recessionista

So, like so many fashionistas out there (and being in DC), how can we not be infatuated by Big Edie, Little Edie, and their endless love of style, song, felines, politics, and grandeur? The women simply embody imagination and lust for life, however crazy and paranoid their psyches. And I ask you, have you ever seen anyone wear a dish towel around their head with such panache? I think not!

I’ve (Kylee here) been a bit of a nerdy freak over Grey Gardens for the past few years and even had the privilege of seeing the play at Studio Theatre a couple of years ago (an utterly fantastic performance by all!!!) Recently, I picked up My Life at Grey Gardens by Lois Wright and have fallen in love all over again with the cat-loving gals.

The walls might’ve been literally falling in around them, but they resourcefully managed to style themselves up and go on. A lesson to all recessionistas far and wide.
