We made the hot trek down to the National Building Museum to meet up with Lisa King, our Board VP, and her partner Polly, to see HRC give her concession speech. This isn't a political blog - Lord knows there's enough of those out there - so I'll stick to the strictly human element and note that no matter how upset folks were, there was no denying that we were walking away from a profound moment in our nation's history.
As if that wasn't exciting enough, it was off to Hillwood Museum for the second Divas Outdoors installment - Funny Face - starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire.
In this age of Ugly Betty, Project Runway, and The Devil Wears Prada, Funny Face really stands the test of time.
It even has its own dance remix now.
Despite a last-minute downpour, the event went on with the super-organized and always pleasant Hillwood staff ushering everyone into alternative spaces on the Hillwood estate - what a treat it is to have events there.
Next week's screening, on Friday the 13th no less, HAS to be good. There's just no way we can have bad weather 3 weekends in a row.
The film we're showing, Straitjacet, is fully of campy appeal and laugh inducing special effects.
Joan Crawford plays an axe murderess recently released from an insane asylum, determined to become a model citizen. Welll.. not exactly a model citizen. She does try to seduce her daughter's boyfriend, but it wouldn't be a Joan Crawford film if she didn't transgress somehow.
Stay tuned for a recap and photos of our Joan Crawford lookalike contest next week.
