Mother Darling ❤️ Big Edie and little Edie from the groundbreaking documentary Grey Gardens. I remember being obsessed watching this on a loop. Couldn't get enough of them. How did get to meet these ladies? #greygardens #motherdarling #littleedie #edithbouvierbeale #edithbouvier #hamptons #albertanddavidmaysles #groundbreaking #kimono #TCMParty #fanart #AlejandroMogolloArt https://www.instagram.com/p/CiP7TZbsw8U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you want to play in the sprinkler, but the curls are popping today and you don't want to get 'em wet! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 They wanted me to get a pic. I don't know what game these kids are playing. I heard something about space, Batman, and whales, and I decided not to ask questions. It's giving #greatexpectations and a little #greygardens. She won't let me throw that umbrella away. It's #harleyquinn. #summer #sprinkler #kids #miele #curlspoppin #summertime https://www.instagram.com/p/CfjVSEFuzjp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Musings from the bleak midwinter … I woke up here in #GreyGardens cranky - the #pandemic and life’s obligations weighing me down. But then I saw these little footprints of Hudson’s in the snow which gave me some warmth and perspective. John Doordashed some unhealthy but tasty and comforting breakfast treats, and I had lovely check-ins from my adopted siblings @blained.fowler and @diane.hill.5876. I threw on my new @80stees #MisterMiracle shirt, which reminded me how much the escapism of #comicbooks thrills me. #JackKirby created Mister Miracle and the rest of #DCComics’ bonkers #NewGods at the height of his most unfettered creativity. I found kinship in Kirby by inadvertent means. In the mid-80s, #Kenner toys released arguably the greatest super hero figures ever with their #SuperPowers line: a well-constructed, detailed (for that era), heady mix of characters both popular and obscure. But my favorites among all of the figures in the line were the New Gods - notably Mister Miracle. They were day-glo Shakespearean. So, I put on this shirt, and thought what lessons can I take from King Kirby? How can I live my life as boldly and creatively? And maybe inspire others as he had inspired me? One of the treasures my dad Don Sexton unearthed these past few months was a beautiful quilt my great grandmother Money had made. After brainstorming a bit with dear friend @arnienuvo about the merits and downsides of framing, it occurred to me to order one of those plexiglass display cases you find in jewelry stores and trade shows. Thank you, @shoppopdisplays! I spent far too much time trying to figure out how to fold this darn thing, but I’m thrilled that it is safe and displayed now in our TV room. That little moment of creative endeavor and honoring the past did my heart good. I’m no Jack Kirby, but this artistic activity - not to mention that #quilt’s bold colors and beautiful lineage - will brighten my January/February days. My crankiness has subsided, and that is all due to family, friends, memories, reflection, and writing (this right here if you made it this far). #Food, #shopping, and cute #dogs help too!

That Wallace pic in stories took me down this rabbit hole. Thanks to @spalonka for orchestrating this photo shoot and having such quick archival access. #littleedie #weallmarchtogether #greygardens #thebeales (at Upper West Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYk3LZ-sYgO-rea2yqMtUuGH066DgbJ4X53BAk0/?utm_medium=tumblr
