So, I finally watched Grey Gardens. To be totally honest, I was kind of disappointed. I really wish tehre were more backstory...the whole time I found myself wondering how these women got to be this way, but the only real insight into their pasts was just via loud angry arguments they had on screen...I wanted some facts, interviews with people (what happened to the other brothers?), anything! After a certain point it was like OK, these people are weird, but this is boring. We've all met weirdos, so what?
Also, I haven't seen the Drew Barrymore movie about Little Edie's life, but based on the pictures that film really glamorizes these women when they are really like 99% grit. Although I have seen some cool fashion spreads based on Grey Gardens.
