Chasing the Grey Gardens

Everyone seems to be getting completely and utterly titilated and overly excited about the Sex and the City ambiguous movie trailer that is asking us to get 'Carrie'd Away'.  I for one am not about to get carried away and start foaming at the mouth whenever new images emerge online of Carrie Bradshaw's various outfits.

Instead, I'm looking out for on-set images from the HBO production of Grey Gardens, loosely based on the 1975 documentary of the same name, which ever since I got the DVD two years ago has always been on DVD rotation list as I seem to discover new nuances about the documentary everytime I warch it.  Any GG fans will know Drew Barrymore has landed the role of 'Little Edie' and Jessica Lange is playing 'Big Edie'.  I've yet to be convinced about Barrymore (as an actress) but at least the costumes are looking ish-spot-on.  The white halterneck playsuit is surprisingly appealing seeing as I'm not into anything tight and white but the sheath over the one leg is pleasingly seductive.  Three costumes spotted so far and with production still happening right now, this is the ONE time where I'm going to be film-set stalking.  I'm just waiting for an array of head scarf combinations to appear.  The latter part of 2008 seems far too long away to wait for this to come out... 

I've lost count of how many Little Edie fashion thangs I've seen in the past five years ago but this DIY 'Little Edie Moment' editorial photographed by the wonderful artist Mia Mäkilä is quite impressive...
