Happy Birthday Little Edie!!!

Today my baby girl turns 4! How time flies. I got to thinking recently about how long it had been since I posted anything on this blog. I started it when I got Edie and really enjoyed it for a while then things got busy with everyday life and.....oh well.....

Edie's 4th birthday has prompted me to revamp my blog and start blogging again. Hopefully you'll continue to tune in!!

As we mark the beginning (or is it the end??) of daylight savings time today we also celebrate Auntie Karen's birthday. And we must not forget the REAL Little Edie Bouvier Beale who would have been 93 years old today. It's only fitting that she and MY Edie have the same birthday.

Happy Birthday!!

Today is Little Edie's second birthday! My little girl is growing up so quickly!!

This is a very special day. We have so much going on today!! First a fun pack walk with her friends Peete and Ginger. Then later some special play time with Percy and Agnes.

Today is also Auntie Karen's birthday and today Karen welcomes her new addition, Oliver, the yorkie. Stay tuned for pics and wonderful stories about the newest member of our dog family.

Last but not least I must pay triubte to the real Little Edie Bouvier Beale who was also born on this day in 1917. Edie will be having some liver pate for dinner to help celebrate her namesake.

Here's another wonderful montage of Grey Gardens clips.....

The Grey Gardens influence is everywhere! I love this sketch on Logo's The Big Gay Sketch Show. They did an Extreme Home Makeover of Grey Gardens! I can't believe they got Christine Ebersole to do this but of course, she plays Little Edie to a "T"! Naked Big Edie is hysterical!!

Here's another great clip at Grey Gardens today.

Here's a great clip from Court TV that shows how the story of the Edie's went from being a documentary to a Broadway play. It features an interview Albert Maysles and also with Jerry, the Marble Faun, who is still alive today!

Here's another totally hysterical Grey Gardens clip set to music. Whoever thought this one up deserves an Emmy!

Many devoted Grey Gardens fans love to take clips from the documentary and set them to music to make their own little montages. Here is one of my favorites, set to the song "Disco Inferno". It is from the scene where there is a fire in the house and Little Edie is going crazy trying to put it out. Big Edie gets mad at her because she uses Jacqueline's $300 blanket in the process.

Fashion Forward

If Little Edie had known she would be a muse for the fashion industry and inspire an entire collection 30 years after she made her film debut she would have been thrilled. Chanel's fall/winter collection is full of Little Edie head wrapping style. Uncle Karl knows a good thing when he sees it. Also make sure to check out the Amy Winehouse inspired hairdos........
