| Wedding at Montauk Point, Long Island, NY circa 1989. This
has a bit of a funny story behind it. The bride was a model
and almost everyone at this event was also a model, they were
all handsome and gorgeous, we almost felt ugly!! Anyway she
said "I want everything at this wedding to look flowey". She
had never seen me since we only spoke by phone, and she wanted
to make sure I wouldn't slick back my hair. I thought this was
really funny because I have always had very light fly away hair,
which is everything but slicked back (although I may have tried
doing that in high school). She then said something like "do
you have a shirt with puffy sleeves" and I said NO! She really
wanted this shirt so, MaryAnn had all these Russian blouses
with puffy sleeves, but they looked too much like blouses on
me. MaryAnn came up with an idea, "let's just try this" she
said and proceeded to put this blouse on me backwards, so the
buttons were on the back. It also made the collar look a bit
priestly but it somehow looked right this way. I spent the whole
day positioning myself in a way that nobody could see behind
me. Years later there was an episode of Seinfeld about a puffy
shirt. When we see this picture we refer to this as the "puffy
shirt" gig! |
