That’s a Ginormous Paper Moon!

Remember the special frock that Lady M donned to return to the prison of the White House last Sunday?

It’s been driving me crazy. I knew it reminded me of something other than my Aunt Irene circa 1952 butt couldn’t quite put my finger on it. And then, while in sleep mode, it popped up on my server! It’s from the August 21, 2010 post, Big Guy, All Books, No Grapes. Sure enough, there she was, Lady M  play-acting the role of Imogene in Paper Moon.

In case you don’t recall the movie it’s a 1973 classic about a couple of con artists traveling around the country during the Great Depression taking peoples money. Lady M’s character, Imogene, had a small role as Trixie’s (Madelaine Kahn) maid and Addie’s (Tatum O’Neil) friend.

Imogene was originally played by 15 year old P.J. Johnson; I think you’ll agree, MO brought great maturity to the role:

While the frock is made of a different material  it definitely has the same fit, stance and attitude.

I’m glad I remembered, now I can relax and enjoy my vacation.
