The number of days that I have woken up and thought, "today I kind of want to look like a grandma+woodsman+schoolteacher," is roughly equal to the number of days that I wake up and think, "I want to be the equivalent of Stevie Nicks as a Shakespearean character." So I guess this means that most of the time I think about drawing a fine line between frump and witchiness, even though my "uniform" of late has been various layers of oatmeal, taupe, and camel.
But mostly I think it's her no-nonsense attitude that gets me every time. Like when she slaps Agent Cooper's hand from the plate of cookies, or when she gives the same disapproving tight-lipped look I probably give far too often for someone my age.
Oh, and she was the only one who didn't seem to age at all in the Psych spoof of TP, "Dual Spires." Lesson learned: dressing like you're 50 when you're in your 20s means that you will look the same when you're 50, which means you won't have aged at all!
Not that I have to worry about that, being asian and all:
Despite what I outwardly gravitate towards, I do believe there is something inside of me that draws me to Margaret Lanterman, aka "the log lady."
We both have a penchant for high-waisted trousers and shushing other people a little too self-righteously sometimes. And navajo prints.
Fact: I stole lovingly rescued this log from the home of Hans Christian Andersen in Odense, Denmark. Since then, dressing like the log lady for every Twin Peaks anniversary is easy as pie.
