Parrish parade of 'Big' and 'Little' Edie

The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, New York will get in touch with its Hamptons heritage this Thursday, 11 August when it hosts a lively screening and discussion of the cult classic documentary Grey Gardens (1975), which looks at the insular world of the mother-daughter duo “Big Edie” and “Little Edie” Beale in their rambling, dilapidated East Hampton house. Attendees of all ages have been invited to dress up as Big or Little Edie for free admission and the chance to win Grey Gardens memorabilia. The costumes will be judged by the nonagenarian New York fashionista Iris Apfel and Jerry Torre, who appeared in the documentary when he was a young handyman—the only frequent guest at Grey Gardens. We can almost hear Little Edie saying: “I think this is the best costume for the day.”
