Hott Messes, revisited.


Long before Amy Winhouse declined rehab, and even before Brit Brit flashed her choo-chee to the world, America was introduced to its original hott messes: Big Edie and Little Edie Beale. These two washed up wasps became house hold names in 1975 thanks to the documentary Grey Gardens. This movie chronicled the lives of two grimy divas living in a run-down, raccoon infested Hampton's mansion- known as Grey Gardens.


Any true pop-culture addict needs to watch this doc!!! Its faboosh.


Big Edie is first aunt to Jackie O- First lady of Style circa 1960 til FOREVER!!!


<< You Likes mah glasses???


The cleverly named Little Edie is Jackie's first cousin. Little Edie has officially gone down in history as America's second hott tranny mess (the first was Joan Crawford). Her infatuation with pulling sweaters over her head and accessorizing with full length grungy fur coats makes her a fashion icon- not because she was en-vogue, but because she was a trend setter.










Edie has influenced collections by Prada Spring 2007

And by Pelican Avenue Spring 2008


We guess Edie's a spring gal. Who knew.



Do you have HBO??? Then watch Grey Gardens on Satuday April 18th starring real life hott messes Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange.
