Fashion Summer Vacation at Grey Gardens

Posted by Gillian Anderson on Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 11:05 AM

Getting your summer travel plans together? How about a few months in the Hamptons at Grey Gardens? You can rent the famous estate that formerly housed Big Edie and Little Edie. And there's so much to keep you busy: cat hoarding, crazy fighting, and flag dancing!

The listing reads:

A piece of American folklore can be yours from now until the end of July when you rent East Hamptons fabled Grey Gardens 2 acre estate with pool and tennis next to Georgica Beach. Originally designed by Joseph Greenleaf Thorpe in 1897, this 6000 Hampton original, was totally renovated and restored to its originally condition with the addition of today's amenities when the current owners rescued it some 30 years ago.

Only mother/daughter pairs will be considered.

There is not one second of that documentary "Grey Gardens" that isn't completely hypnotic.

"I just started this new diet where you have to take everything in through the anus! The pounds are just melting away!"

"That's wonderful, but why are you dancing around like that?"

"I'm chewing gum!"

@1 Grey Gardens kind of terrifies me, in that Big-Edie-is-just-like-my-Grandma kind of way. SHUDDERS.

"Restored to its originally condition with the addition of today's amenities when the current owners rescued it some 30 years ago" means it's in about as bad a shape as it was when they made the movie, right? "Today's amenities" aren't usually 30 years old. Bad 80s mauve everywhere?
