Twin Peaks (1991) and about uniforms
So, it's fall and I've started watching Twin Peaks again. This must be the dozenth time. Which started me thinking about how into repeating things I can be, how I like to start a book again right after finishing it, or how I can always imagine falling in love with people I've fallen in love with before, or how I like to pick a uniform and wear it out for the season. Right now I only have a bottom uniform: grey jeans and beige furry-inside pointy-ish little boots. If I had a sweater I could love more than any other sweater, I'd really have a uniform going. Which brings me to the Andy Warhol uniform, and the Patti Smith uniform, and the 60s Don't Look Back Dylan uniform, and those are all really great uniforms. The wardrobe in Twin Peaks is equally amazing. The plaid skirts and tight sweaters and leather jackets and flannel and flat shoes and waitress dresses-- can you beat that? Anyway, I'm glad to be back to Twin Peaks and cherry pie. I do feel a little less amazed by it this time. I guess I'll get obsessed again no matter what, though, since that's what always happens.

i need a uniform. in Love and Other Disasters (2006) Brittany Murphy's character loves Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and dresses like she's Holly Golightly. It's a pretty great uniform and i was almost sold. it's also very now because it's big shirts and black leggings.
ReplyDeletei've never gotten into twin peaks. but, i did enjoy or wednesday viewing dates in 2001. i'm really into things like that. i'm into doing the same things regularly and doing them with other people. right now all i have is class, which is forced, and chicken wings on mondays. but, i'll get some other things going. maybe that's why i like tv.
your furry boots sound very KZ. i didn't even know you could buy fake fur lined boots in america.
they're not quite up to KZ standards, more fuzzy than furry but that's not a good description either. I'll have to send you a picture. So, yeah, more TP tonight. All of a sudden I seem to be allergic to everything except my longjohns and meatloaf, so I expect to sneeze all the way through it.
ReplyDeleteOh, have you heard of The Little Dog Laughed? I just saw the play the other night here, but it was on Broadway, and it's pretty gay and heavy on the Breakfast at Tiffany's references.
oh man! i've never heard of it. when i have an income, i'm going to the theater.
ReplyDeleteIt's really cold in Maine right now, so I'm wearing the big puffy green coat that you said looked KZ, and now maybe these boots are KZ. And there's about ten million feral cats in my yard. If you ever miss the KZ, yr welcome to visit my house. No cow heads in the streets, though.
