I rarely shop for fun anymore, but I had a couple of gift cards I hadn't used (Bath and Body Works, and Torrid), and decided to celebrate the end of the school quarter and completion of my finals with a little shopping spree. Whee!

I got a neat pinstripe trenchcoat from Torrid, and a cool black quilted gym/carryon bag from B&BW (and some lotion and stuff for my girlfriend and my sister, but that doesn't count, because we're talking about self-spoilage here ). Oh, and little tube of lavender and shea lotion.

Spill it! I know some of y'all are buying yourself presents when you're out doing your holiday shopping. Whatdjaget?

I'm forbidden to purchase anything until further notice.

i saw a short bit of that on Sundance or IFC the other day... disturbing and fascinating... i thought i'd "save it" for when i could watch the whole thing.

watch 'grey gardens' first. then if you like it, watch 'beales'...it's more like a fix for grey gardens geeks than a stand-alone film.

Did the brunette come with it?

Anx said:

what's the connection?

IrresistibleB1tch said:

both movies are drawn from the same footage shot by the maysles brothers at the grey gardens estate, where big edie and her daughter little edie beale lived.

the film 'grey gardens' was released in 1976 and over the years became a cult classic. this year, because the film has so many fans, albert maysles (his brother died several years ago) pieced together some of the remaining footage into a 'sequel' because fans have been so curious about what was left out of the original movie.

JustErin said:

Huh. Maybe the brunette only comes with the caffeinated stuff.

abierman said:

Anx said:
