These past few weeks have been crazy, but I was finally able to catch the HBO film Grey Gardens, staring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lang. The story is based off of a 1975 documentary film depicting the lives of Edith Beales, aunt and first cousin to Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis. It is a beautiful story of a New York socialite mother who's fortune has run dry, and of a daughters missed opportunity. So I am no film critic, but if you haven't seen this yet, I highly recomend it. Drew Barrymore is stunning as always, and the costuming throughout the movie is just gorgeous.
