Frashley Future?

Just when I thought I have seen all the good movies and read all the great books, that there was nothing fabulous left for me to discover, I learn about Grey Gardens. I was reading the November Vogue at work Friday morning and I see a musical has opened up of Grey Gardens. I had heard of Grey Gardens before but never when what it was so I googled it. Grey Gardens is a 1970s documentry made about "Big" Edie Beale and her daughter "Little" Edie Beale. Big Edie was Jackie Kennedy Onasis' Aunt and Little Edie was Jackie O's cousin. They lived a reclusive lifestyle in their enormous East Hampton mansion. The mansion was full of cats and they basically lived in squalor. Big Edie and Little Edie were fabulously ecentric. I have got to order the DVD from amazon. I must see it soon! In fact, I would put it on my new updated Christmas Wish List. I can just see me and Ashley as old ladies living with a bunch of cats in a fabulous house, me wearing my Pucci scarf, Ashley carrying her Dooney and Bourke bag around the house for no reason...
This picture actually reminds me a lot of Dorothy. My Mom and I met Dorothy in the early 90s in a thrift store. She started talking to me because I had on my riding clothes. Dorothy raises horses, Saddlebreds to be specific. She actually resembles "Big" Edie a bit. Dorothy was a reporter for the Anderson Independent Mail for years and years.
