Hal is M.A. #8, but right now, I am thinking about the blue dress that appears in all of his earlier films. T-square will know what I am talking about. Adrienne Shelly wears it in Trust, the street lady who asks everyone to marry her wears it in Surviving Desire, and in Amateur, Isabelle Huppert puts it on either before or after she has sex with Martin Donovan. (T will agree with me here that the last thing one should do post-coital with MD would be to put on a blue dress. Pshaw.) I think it is also worn somewhere in Simple Men, but its been years since I got down with the Hot Fucking Tuna, so I can't say for sure.
Anyway, I'm thinking I should acquire a shitload of dresses in that vein and just wear them everyday like it's 1949. I will even wear control top pantyhose and correct shoes and just uniform it up post-war style. I'm tired of being nonstylish yet am too lazy to correct that under my own steam. They have to be made of top-quality material and have a nice zipper somewhere. Metal teeth. I will even invest in slips.
Oh, how I miss the days of the blue dress, especially if it could be worn in the presence of Mr. Donovan himself. I have been brought back to the early-mid 1990s from your posts--huzzah!
